TrainTown opens new roller coaster

The new kiddie coaster at TrainTown

A long awaited new roller coaster – Mine Train – has finally opened at Sonoma’s beloved TrainTown Railroad.

It replaces the old Dragon Train coaster.

The coaster was built by the legendary E&F Miler Industries, a family owned roller coaster manufacturing company from Oregon. E&F is best known for building the legendary roller coaster at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.

The new kiddie coaster is the largest ever built by the company. Both children and parents alike can enjoy the coaster together.

TrainTown has been a staple in the lives of children growing up in Sonoma Valley since its opening in 1968. 20264 Broadway, Sonoma; 938-3912; traintown.com

      Jamie,
      I think they’re open longer hours now, grab your kiddo and check it out if you live somewhat close.
      Have fun there!

    It’s called the Mine Train, replacing the old Dragon Train. 33″ minimum with an adult, 36″ to ride alone!
