Virtual reality headsets were added to Wild West Mine Train in December 2017. The experience took riders through a virtual rainforest. During the roller coaster, riders could interact with their surroundings by turning their head to capture animals.[1]
Wild West Mine Train closed on 31 August 2021 along with Abyss and Raging River.[2] It remains standing but not operating. The park plans to re-use the ride's dome structure as part of a new adventure park set to open in 2028.[3]
