Beaver Land Mine Ride was a steel roller coaster at Geauga Lake in Aurora, Ohio. It was a standard production model junior coaster from Zierer. It was known for having the longest train of any coaster (with 20 two-seat cars) at Geauga Lake, and it was also the only coaster in the park to complete a full circuit twice while in operation. Its height restrictions were among the most accommodating in the whole park.
This ride was installed as "Roadrunner Express" during the transition to Six Flags Ohio in 2000, and was one of three identical coasters installed in Six Flags parks that year. The other two are at Six Flags New England and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
