Description

The year is 1913. At the time, the present location is known as Red Jacket, the home of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company. C&H is known as the largest mining company in the nation, hauling out millions upon millions of tons of copper out of Michigan's Keweenaw peninsula and employing thousands. With all good comes bad - the company suffers from numerous labor issues. The most notable labor issue to this ride is the introduction of the one man pneumatic drill, also known as the Widowmaker due to the fact that it was extremely dangerous to operate. A labor strike is imminent. Climb aboard the Torch Lake locomotive, speed past The Dredge and through a mine shaft, blast out of the steam hoist and traverse numerous hills, lakes, and even caves as you soar through the trees of Michigan's Keweenaw peninsula before the mine is closed.
