I have been to several Six Flags parks and Cedar Fiars parks that typically have a mine train ride of some sort.

Thunderation is probably near the top of the list as one of the better mine train rides. The coaster takes advantage of the hills of Ozarks that allows the coaster to immediately get into the ride and instead ending with a lift hill back to the station. It acts as an opposite ride experience compared to normal, but it is more enjoyable as a result.
