Cedar Creek Mine Ride is a mine train roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. Built by Arrow Dynamics, the roller coaster opened in 1969 in the Frontiertown section of the park. It is the second oldest roller coaster at Cedar Point behind Blue Streak. Cedar Creek Mine Ride is one of two roller coasters at Cedar Point to utilize two separate lift hills – the other is Iron Dragon. As of 2006, it has accommodated over 62 million riders.
Following the success of Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland which opened in 1959, the tubular steel track design pioneered by Arrow Dynamics was in high demand at other amusement parks around the world. Arrow developed a runaway mine train concept that would be used in many of its first roller coasters. Among them was the Cedar Creek Mine Ride at Cedar Point, which opened in 1969 as the centerpiece for the new Frontiertown section of the park. It is the second-oldest roller coaster at Cedar Point and has given over 62 million rides since its debut.
