Smurf Mountain was a powered mine train ride through a mountain past several animated scenes at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, United States. History [ edit ]
The train was eventually brought down a week later, and the ride remained closed for more than two months. Kings Dominion later explained the closure was due to a problem with the weight distribution on the gearbox, which caused a part to warp and fail. The replacement part had to be custom-built in another country, leading to the extended closure.
