It says so in the description and includes a link to the music. Cartograph is a mapping program for Minecraft. Also, an evil part of me was waiting for the cart to run into a creeper blocking the track. The maker probably had it set on peaceful mode, what with all those dark spots.

This was a production, but the producers of Indiana Jones and Journey to the Center of the Earth would have us believe that miners have nothing better to do than construct roller coasters in their mines. This is a straight track. And I thought miners were a fun loving crowd with a penchant for dangerous tracks. At least the speed of the mine cart was correct. Now I’m confused.
