"Race through an active gold mine aboard a speeding train on this thrilling coaster-style ride.
New Magic Is Thunderin’. The iconic rumblin’, rollin’ Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has recently undergone a mountaintop-to-cavern refurbishment to keep the classic attraction in terrific shape, delivering thrills around every bend in the track. In addition to the action and adventure we know and love, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad features new magic for fans to discover, including a journey through the spectacular natural phenomena of the Rainbow Caverns—which may not be as welcoming as they first appear.
The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness. The story of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad begins when Barnabas T. Bullion struck gold in the Big Thunder region. One day, strange and unexplainable things started happening. No matter how deep the miners dug into the heart of the mountain, the forces of Big Thunder fought back.
After you arrive at the legendary Big Thunder Mining Company, descend into an active mine shaft and board your runaway train. As you enter the cavern, the engine speeds up along the rickety track, then swoop around turns, drop into canyons and dart through the town of Tumbleweed.
Your rip-roaring adventure proves that some legends are true. You’re sure to have a real blast!" – Disneyworld.com
