Klondike Gold Mine at RCDB

The Klondike Gold Mine roller coaster originally opened at Drayton Manor theme park in 1984 as "Python". In 1995, The ride changed its name to Klondike Gold Mine and traded for 10 years under that name until being relocated to Funland (Hayling Island) in 2005 so G-Force could take its place.

The ride replaced a rollercoaster already on site, and became one of the main rides at Funland. In 2015, the ride was removed from Funland and was sold to irish company Euroshow and now uses the ride for touring. The ride does not operate with scenery any more.

The coaster to be sited on the Klondike Gold Mine coaster site is a bright red, Crazy mouse style ride called Runaway Mine Train originally from Gulliver's World.
