Runaway Mine Train is a steel hybrid roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas, USA. Built by Arrow Development, the attraction opened on July 23, 1966 and is the oldest roller coaster in the park. In 1996, the ride was renamed to Mine Train to prevent confusion with Runaway Mountain.[1] In September 2006, Runaway Mine Train was designated an ACE Coaster Landmark by the American Coaster Enthusiasts.

The ride's height requirement was raised from 42 inches to 48 inches in 2025.[2]
