About the Ride Info Box

Underground is a dark ride that uses a roller coaster car. The slow moving ride goes through scenes representing an old mine. There are a number of show scenes featuring limited animatronics of miners.

Show Scenes

  1. Preshow

Trivia

Preshow

This is the only attraction at Adventureland with a preshow. It is also the only attraction to feature simple animatronics, though the park previously had the animatronic Daniel and the Dixie Diggers on Main Street.

Signage

During the first few years of operation, a sign at the entrance read "From this point it is a 60 minute wait to ride this ride. We suggest you return later when the line is shorter."

Voice of the Miner

The voice of the animated miner is XXX. He was featured in TV commercials for The Underground, and is also drawn as a cartoon character at the entrance of the Outlaw.
