BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN RAILROAD
 


Review Attraction

 

Climb onto this runaway mining train during the time of the gold rush. This train themed coaster is great on scenary and its moderate intensity makes it a hit for all ages. The ride whips around a great looking mining town that is big on disney creative touches.

review
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad may not have the excitement and intensity of most roller coasters but it has a lot of charm. The 'runaway train in a mining town' theme is full of creativity. The waiting line climbs up and around the mountain with places to see the train zoom pass along the way. Right next to this ride is Splash Mountain which leads crowding on most days. Riding before 10am of in the last hour of the day should help beat the big crowds.

Both this ride and Splash Mountain are FastPass rides so you can FastPass one and line up for the other. If the wait time exceeds 30 minutes FastPass is probaby the best option. The height restriction is 40" and children under 7 must ride with an adult.

If you are looking for an intense ride then Big Thunder Mountain Railroad may not provide the thrill you are looking for. If you want some intensity and a great theme then Big Thunder Mountain should certainly impress.

user reviews Review this attraction


Mike Stokes, PA

I am not a huge coaster fan, but the look of big thunder was not too intimidating. The ride was a lot of fun, not too hard on the twists and turns, but fast enough to be exciting. This is what Disney does well that other parks seem to fail at, rides that are just the right level of excitement for the non-thrill seekers.
