Frankie’s Mine Train is a steel roller coaster of out and back design located at Great Escape in Queensbury, New York.

This simple steel coaster is located in the park's Timbertown section. The ride is designed to be ridden by children and is the latest roller coaster to be built at The Great Escape. It has a red track with yellow supports.

HistoryEdit

In 2005 The Great Escape debuted the Looney Tunes National Park: a Looney Tunes themed children's area which included eight new children's rides, including Road Runner Express the park's seventh roller coaster, and a re-themed restaurant as well as a cartoon walk-through. Replaces the old Jungleland area.

In late 2010, Six Flags began the process of removing licensed theming from attractions. The Great Escape terminated several licenses including their license with The Wiggles, Looney Tunes, and DC Comics. Wiggles' World was renamed and rethemed to KIDZOPOLIS, Looney Tunes National Park was renamed and rethemed to Timbertown, and the Flash Pass system was renamed to Go Fast Pass, all in time for the 2011 season.
