In 1996, Phantasialand added Colorado Adventure to its Mexico section, setting a steel mine train among the park’s rockwork and passages. The ride was built by Vekoma, whose MK-900 family gave the park a substantial, high-capacity travelling coaster for family visitors. coasterpedia.net

The park’s own guide presents the journey as one that moves from open air to dark mine shafts, with the train running high above the water and then deep among craggy canyons. Its 1,280-metre course and three lift hills give the ride the air of a little railway that refuses to be finished too soon. phantasialand.de

As an engineering piece, Colorado Adventure is notable for its steady public work: trains of 32 riders and a stated capacity of 2,300 riders per hour. It is not an inverting machine, but a busy steel railway, made to keep the summer queue moving while still offering tunnels, curves, and repeated climbs. coasterpedia.net· en.wikipedia.org

In later years, the ride’s surroundings were altered with additional tunnel sections and noise barriers after local concern over sound. The changes left the mine train still operating, now with still more covered passages folded into its course. en.wikipedia.org
