Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

 

 

Please email any photo that you would like to share for this ride to: linda@themouseforless.com

Synopsis:
Hop on this rollicking mine train through an Old West mining town for a rip-roarin', rootin'-tootin' thrill-a-minute ride. If you're "mining" for a good time consider the "prospects" as you're warned: "Hang on to your hats and glasses 'cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness."

Attraction Category:
•   Mild But Wild Thrills

Land:
•   Frontierland®

Height Requirement:
•   40" (102 cm) or taller

 


Big Thunder Mountain Rail road is really fun, there's lots of twists and turns but thats what makes it good. You go through some pretend caves and you see some macanical animals. It really does seem like your in the Wild West and the macanical animals make it really realistic.

As they say on the ride “Hang on to your hat because this is the wildest ride in the wilderness”.  The fast train goes in and out of the station through mountains passing by the west with real looking mechanical animals.  The twists and turns are a lot of fun for everyone. You have to go on it a few times because you will see new things every time.  Look for hidden Mickeys!

I think this ride must be called" Big Thunder Mountain Rail road" because when it is riding along the tracks it sounds like thunder. It goes up tall mountains that look like they are going to collapse. While you are at the top of the mountain you can get a slight glimpse of the park. It isn't a scary ride and almost anyone can ride it. The lines are long, but when you get on the ride it was worth the wait. I really like this ride because it reminds me of the Thunderbolt, a ride at Kennywood Park, which is close to my house. Go try it out and see what you think!

This ride is so cool. Especially at night. look for hidden mickeys in the caves. Look at the castle you have a spectacular view of Cinderella's castle. Get your camera ready. you might have up to 45 seconds to take the picture.
