Runaway Mountain is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. It was the first Premier Rides coaster when it opened on June 12, 1996.Dubbed "The Roller Coaster that Dares the Darkness," Runaway Mountain is an enclosed roller coaster made to look as if it takes place within a dark cave. The queue line is themed to resemble a mineshaft and upon entering the "cave," pre-recorded audio tracks are played at intervals giving the background of a character known as "Gator McGee" giving safety instructions to riders. The ride features no inversions and is 65 feet tall.
