a great coaster for people who usually are scared of coasters and at the same time is still good enough for the coasters lovers, one of the best rides at MK.

User ID: Stunnerr22   Thrill: 2  Theme: 3  Overall: 3 (12/28/2007)
A good solid roller coaster that everyone can enjoy.

User ID: Nate The Great   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (11/21/2007)
This is one of the best Disney adventures of all time and even after riding many times, you may notice new things!

User ID: jakefaker1   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (11/14/2007)
I'm a 40 year old mother with two kids age 11 and 13. Everyone in the family loves this ride. Even my 63 old mother.

User ID: danzin2it   Thrill: 2  Theme: 3  Overall: 3 (5/22/2007)
A fun coaster that is great fun for the whole family.

User ID: Tonichelle   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (4/20/2007)
My favorite of the coasters at MK - for extra added thrill, ride it in the dark!

User ID: WolfDreamer   Thrill: 3  Theme: 4  Overall: 3 (4/12/2007)
Another great classic that was fun when I was young, and still enjoyable today.

User ID: DrBro22   Thrill: 2  Theme: 4  Overall: 3 (3/25/2007)
It's a good ride.

User ID: Blockage   Thrill: 3  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (3/22/2007)
Great fun! Noisy and thrilling, but not scary. Worth the wait.

User ID: GoofMan13   Thrill: 4  Theme: 3  Overall: 4 (12/20/2006)
Very Cool.

User ID: Brerwiseguy   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (11/30/2006)
okay I would recommend riding this one at night so that it will be more fun

User ID: siko626   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (9/6/2006)
Alright, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! One of the best rides in the Magic Kingdom park. Even my mom loves it! For all the folks who rode on this when they were tykes, jump back on it, you'll dig it.

User ID: disneyrn   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/23/2005)
One of my fave's. Great intro ride for roller coaster newbies

User ID: MrToadWildRider   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/22/2005)
A great "Thrill" ride for everyone. I particularly like the theme of this ride although most people miss the flooded out town. On one of theinclines (I think the second one) when you're outside look down and to your left and you get a great view of that scene for quite sometime as the ascent is the slower.

User ID: irene belcher   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/17/2005)
The thrills without the terror of a roller coaster


User ID: WDISNEY-NUT   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/25/2005)

A classic, especially at night.

User ID: SusanEY   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/14/2005)
Try riding at night during the fireworks. The wait is short, and the view is spectacular.

User ID: steph1990   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/7/2005)
may not go that fast but it is wild!

User ID: SpoiledTink   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/20/2005)
One of the best roller coasters I've been on in a while. A trip to WDW is not complete until your ride the mountains!!

User ID: dave b 123   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/17/2005)
great roller coaster run away train

User ID: blanco   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/3/2005)
Great Fun. A thrill with a great story behind it!

User ID: gooftroop   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/14/2005)
adrenaline rush.

User ID: thunderman   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (12/7/2004)
One of Disney's greatest attractions. An exciting roller coaster ride through the old west. The ride contains excellent scenery and is perfect for anyone who has not been on a roller coaster before.

User ID: Bucsfalcons742   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (8/29/2004)
Great Ride. Not to be missed

User ID: Disneylover06   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/14/2004)
Great ride and a disney classic too. There so much detail here that you'll always see something new. one of the best.

User ID: abby88   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/19/2004)
Tame compared to a lot of other coasters, but still LOTS of fun. It's especially great at night.

User ID: JackSparrow   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/27/2004)
Best to ride at night, and even a light drizzle enhances the ride. The props surrounding the out of control train really enhance the enjoyment of the ride.

User ID: spring_fall   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/21/2004)
The only reason this ride gets a three is because every time I ride it, either an elbow or an arm gets bruised on one of thsoe drops. Other tha that, I'm happy this ride is open for buisiness again. It goes to show, you can't keep a wonderful ride down for long!

User ID: gordonfan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/17/2004)
To clear things up, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in DisneyWORLD Florida has a clean record. If you heard any incident it's most likely the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in DisneyLAND California. There were a couple MAJOR incidents including one death at Disneyland California, another was a derailment

User ID: Coach Rick   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/15/2004)
More than a coaster...fun for both coaster haters, and coaster lovers alike

User ID: ridermage   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/30/2004)
A little tame, this is perfect for those that don't like rollercoasters. Great theming!

User ID: chrisandginny   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/16/2003)
One of the best Disney has to offer! Lots and lots of fun!

User ID: tdevenney   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/14/2003)
The whole family loved it! We rode it more than any other ride.

User ID: mike_n_amy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (9/6/2003)
I love it !! but then i heard about the incident of the locomotive coming off of it's tracks and i now think it wasnt as safe as it seemed! i hope it is still being investyigated everyday to see why so that it can be opened back up!!

User ID: bloodhound407   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/2/2003)
Do not miss

User ID: Brer Doug   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/1/2003)
This ride is excellent at both parks and I went on it three times in a day since I felt like it too I want to go back too

User ID: MickeyManiac   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/29/2003)
Awesome ride! We always hold our hands up from start to finish. Fast Pass is good, but the line moves pretty quick. Good thing to wait on if you're Fast Passing Splash Mountain!

User ID: captain_hook231   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (6/28/2003)
its good if u wanna laugh. u can fall asleep on this coaster. it goes so friggin slow it needs 3 lift hills....demolish it

User ID: ftlugo   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/27/2003)
Though not a thrill ride in the sense that rides at other large amusement parks are, this ride is real Disney magic!

User ID: Epcot82Guy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/18/2003)
Great ride. Not much of a thrill, but good fun. Try it at night! Great first coaster for kids, too.

User ID: BlazesOfFire   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/12/2003)
I *heart* this ride!! Its a must!!

User ID: Cindermomster   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/12/2003)
I love the little town you can see from the cue. It's fun to listen to the conversation from the saloon.

User ID: dgdoll9848   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/11/2003)
My all time favorite ride. It's a good old fashioned roller coaster!

User ID: thumpersgirl85   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/6/2003)
INCREDIBLE! This ride is a thrill.

User ID: kanaida03   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/5/2003)
One of my top 3 favorite attractions... I enjoy that each time you ride you can see something new in the scenery.

User ID: DisneyFreak91   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/4/2003)
This is an excellent ride for people of all ages!!!

User ID: miamimickey72   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/30/2003)
Wonderful coaster ride..just got back from Disneyland in Paris and Big Thunder there actually starts and ends by going underwater tunnel to a middle island where the ride happens...awsome. This tho is still great ride! FASTPASS A MUST!


User ID: bigthundermickey   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/20/2003)
My favorite all time Disney attraction

User ID: GCRockerGrl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (4/27/2003)
a classic disney ride- not too fast, not too slow- perfect for the whole family- great scenery!

User ID: SerendipityHQ   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/2/2003)
Head over to Space Mountain if you're looking for a real thrill ride. But if you're just looking for a little speed and some great site gags, Big Thunder is for you. If you can manage it, go on right before Splash mountain the two make a great pair.

User ID: rfairydust3903   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/15/2003)
Fun little ride but not fast enough. I would definately fastpass this one.

User ID: AndrewMcMahonLvr   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/1/2003)
This is one of my favorite Disney rides i love the jerkyness of it it's too cool

User ID: Mickeygal123   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (2/25/2003)
I must say that this is a great ride, but for a lot of people, the line is way too long to bother for such a short ride. i recomend a fastpass.

User ID: mdchachi   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/7/2003)
Lame as far as coasters go but it's a fun ride nonetheless as it has that special Disney touch. If there's a long line, I wouldn't bother.

User ID: leetazhand   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/6/2003)
I Love IT. Might need to expand the tracks and add more fossils. Now there is only one dinosaur fossil.

User ID: dreamscometrue   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (12/31/2002)
Another one of the family favorites. Sort of tame as coasters go, but keep your eyes open and check out the views and the theming. Get a fast pass as the line can be really long.

User ID: skaterfreakboi   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (11/22/2002)
i like this thunder mountain the only wdw ride that is just like disneylands but it has its own feel to it really great and dont miss it

User ID: Skully   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (11/2/2002)
By now, I don't even wanna wait for this.It's a must for your first time, but that's it.Space Mountain's much better. The DLP looks much better.

User ID: chrishornbeck   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/16/2002)
I'd have to agree with Disneygirl, Big Thunder is great at night. One positive about Disneyland's is when you go at night during Fantasmic you also get a great fireworks show. It's cool that each ride is a little different. Keeps it from getting boring.

User ID: anonymous   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (10/10/2002)
AUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

User ID: Disneygirl26   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/5/2002)
Don't miss this ride! Ride at night if you can, being in the dark is great. I'm glad they have a little "cowboy" themeing. I have always come off with a smile on my face. I can't see the the faces or hears the delight without going on!

User ID: unocardshark   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (9/14/2002)
A little slow and short. Could use a nice update soon. Fun with a fastpass but not worth a long wait.

User ID: disneylander   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/25/2002)
Great ride. It is at least ten times better than the Disneyland version.

I really like the big mega-coasters, but I could ride this one again and again.

User ID: TimC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/12/2002)
You can not go wrong with this ride. The ride itself is great, but the scenary and views you get from the ride are jsut as good.

User ID: tagboy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (4/8/2002)
Even a chicken like me loves this ride. I was afraid to ride this my first couple trips to the park, but now it's my fave. So much fun!!!!! At night toward the back is a wild ride, so hang on!!

User ID: brerfox666   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/7/2002)
this is a very good ride but the bats in the beginning kinda freak me out. i know u can see the strings but its the noises and strobe light that gets me.

User ID: BuzzLightyear84   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/27/2002)
Fun-filled ride featuring a great balance between thrills and theming. My favorite WDW coaster.

User ID: shawnp0001   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (3/18/2002)
My #3 ride in the park, this ride is great and gives a great view of the park at night.

User ID: c37g   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/3/2002)
We love this ride especially at night when it seems a bit more scary - a good kind of scary though :-)

User ID: alm49er   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/3/2002)
One of our favorite, must do rides at WDW

User ID: Higgy2000   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/3/2002)
One of my favorites! Make sure you ride it at night. Not a fast scary coaster, but the themeing more than makes up for it.

User ID: wdw24557   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/3/2002)
It could have more speed but other then that the rides awsome.

User ID: jalbright   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/2/2002)
Next to the R&R Coaster it is my favorite!! 5 rides during our last trip, one by night!

User ID: balbright   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/2/2002)
Fun ride that must be be ridden both day and night since it is a different ride at night.

User ID: WDWEC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/3/2001)
A great ride for those who can't quite handle the big coasters (like me!)
Night time is the best time to ride & ride & ride...

Great ride for kids and adults. We never miss this one!!!

User ID: brazil   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/3/2001)
It's a fun ride, and the detailing on the scenery is great, but it's vastly inferior to Space Mountain and the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

User ID: skarolyn99   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/3/2001)

LOVE it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

User ID: psy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (4/3/2001)
While niether is very thrilling as a major roller coaster, I think the theming and the tighter layout at DL are superior to WDW. At DL you are always rushing through little hidden canyons, while at WDW it spends a lot of time going back and forth out in the open(1st lift especially.)

User ID: viper432   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/3/2001)
This is my favorite ride in all of Disney World. When I was younger I once rode it 15 times in one day. A coaster for all ages.

User ID: LAUGHERY   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/3/2001)
THIS COASTER IS A LITTLE TO TAME, BUT YET STILL VERY ENJOYABLE. DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WDW'S AND DISNEYLAND'S VERSION.

User ID: nelsonfran18   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/3/2001)
I like the whole ride...even when making the line, the music that is played is quite pleasant.

mild roller coaster but great theming-plenty of fun-try it at night!

User ID: ninafeliz1   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2001)
This is one of the 3 best rided in the MK, not to be missed! The roller coaster is very tame, but the scenery and smooth ride are wonderful. This is Disney at its best. Try to ride both at night and during the day, it's great both times.

User ID: hosewater   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/6/2001)

Its awsome

User ID: maxybrett   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/28/2000)
This ride is the best! It serves the community of riders who are perhaps
too scared to ride the "Rock-n-Roll" rollercoaster at MGM. It is enough of a thrill
that you just keep coming back on and on. I love it!!!!!

User ID: joncsufdl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/28/2000)
Totally awesome! Back is best! Learned from the mistakes of DL's BTM!! Far superior and I love it!!

A COOL RIDE WITH GOOD EFFECTS.

User ID: DisneyWizard   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/28/2000)
It isn't the wildest ride in the wilderness, but the theming is just phenomenal.

User ID: Futurist   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/28/2000)
Only one year newer than the Disneyland counter-part, and, in my opinion, more superior in many regards. There seems to be more theming, inside and out. Larger, and I think the underground queue is unique.

User ID: Mickstermom   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/2/2000)
Fast paced, wonderfully themed, a real hoot!

User ID: hartelmd   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (7/2/2000)
Simply awesome themeing, but ride itself is more of a fun kiddie coaster. Should definately enhance the track to spuce it up a few notches.

User ID: RBennett   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/2/2000)
Well themed and a great ride at night.

Excitement and scope much bigger than DL's!

User ID: SirLamer   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (6/23/2000)
This coaster is not a thriller, but it has plenty of theming. For me, this ride is too slow, but if you're too wimpy to go on Space Mountain then go on this. TIP: On this ride, the back is better than the front. The front always crawls it's way down the drops. On all the other coasters, the front is the best.

User ID: technut   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/23/2000)

User ID: FCD01757   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/21/2000)
A nice outside coaster with great effects just a bit bumpier than I remember especially after riding the newer ones.

Just plain awesome.

User ID: keefelc   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/1/2000)
If you get a chance, walk to the right of the attraction. They have a wonderful themed path that will bring you next to a geyser. Look out, you'll get wet!

This is what separates Disney from the rest. Take a simple roller coaster, theme it to the max, add animatronics, and voila, a classic Disney attraction!

It may seem antiquated compared to Space or RnR Coaster, but this has been a personal fave of mine for years. Bonus points for being able to ride twice in the same day.. during the day, then at night when it's dark .. and get two different experiences!

This is one of the best in the Magic Kingdom.

A nice attraction. I recently went on this ride for the first time in years and was thrilled. Either I'm getting older or they made this ride faster. It's no Space Mountain but, it's a very good attraction.

While not exactly a great roller coaster, it truly exemplifies what Disney does best: making the theming part of the ride. Despite the fact that there aren't sharp turns or big drops, the ride seems to work because of Disney's attention to detail. While not the best the Magic Kingdom has to offer, it is lots of fun nonetheless.

This is supposed to be a roller-coaster???

Finally, MK improves on the D'land original. While not for the easily frightened, this ride at least provides some thrills for those tired of all the Fantasyland yawns.

A great tame coaster with amazing theming. The only draw back is it is to slow at spots.

A bit longer and much nicer than the Disneyland version, this Classic attraction is a thriller always. Nicer at night due to show lighting and general coaster performance. The only eyesore is the rockwork - described by some at WDI as "giant refrigerators," the detailing could have been much better. Still, a wonderful attraction!
