Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

"This will always be the go to Disney ride, be it here, Florida or Paris. Big Thunder is and always will be a fantastic coaster, and each one has something different to offer. This is probably the second best iteration of this ride, and definitely the one with the hardest & wildest turns in the wilderness. An absolute must ride, don't miss it, wherever you are!"

"Best ride at Disney. It is my humble opinion that Thunder Mountain is the single best ride here. Even though it's getting older it still is an exciting fast moving thriller with sharp turns, high speeds, great scenery and it never fails to make me smile. It's one of the few rides I'd wait around for but I'd recommend using a fast pass/Ginnie plus thing if you've got it as the lines get long fast."

"This is the wildest ride in the wilderness! When they say, Hold on to your hats and glasses.... DO IT.... It's a fast rolling train with lots of dips and turns to throw you for a loop. A true Disney classic for sure... The back is the best spot, in my opinion, as it provides a bit of weightless feeling at times. Try it...."

"Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is the only wooden coaster I can remember riding during my entire Disneyland, CA adventure trip. Built on the site of the original mine train scenic ride that used to be here, they have incorporated a lot of the scenes into the rooten tooten high speed coaster ride to hit the wild west. This was another ride I had lightning laned but they were closed when my arrival time took place. Fortunately a couple of hours later I was able to return and ride it. Your train car is led by an engine. You race throw the old west town but it isn't as fast as to be that aggressive. Although I couldn't see much without my glasses it was still a lot of fun The ride is patterned after real life formations in Bryce canyon national park in Utah. It is based off of an old mining town that had suffered a curse. Hence the "trains" operated without the benefit of the engineer. It is truly a fun and enjoyable ride."

"Such an amazing ride that you can go over and over again. Big Thunder Mountain is another one of my favorite ride at Disneyland. The standby lines can take long but on a good day like when I went, there was like only a 5 minute wait. It's so much fun and of course you should try to take pictures during the ride since this is like a Rollercoaster. I also took off my hat since I wasn't want to take the risk of losing my Project Rock hat.. The staff are friendly and it will feel like only a second once the ride is over. We were able to go twice since the day we went before Halloween Fest became live didn't have a lot of people at the theme park."
