Big Thunder Mountain

Loved this ride, however there is always a really long ride. Somehow the there can be a problem with the ride often because in our previous visit we waited twice in the line for this ride and both times they announced there was a problem and we waited in total 3 hours for nothing. This time during our visit we encountered no such problem and finally were able to go on the ride. It is definitely as good as they say it is and provides amazing views. If you have the time or even better the primary access definitely worth the ride. Also the entrance can be tricky to find since the island is far away from it, getting directions from the Disneyland app makes it way easier.

The ride time is relatively long, so you feel that you get more bang for buck. The dark tunnels, which take you to the mountain in the middle of the water, are fun as you burst out into the light. It’s not a thrill ride, you could tolerate it even if you don’t like coasters. It’s tame for me, but the speed and wind are fun. As well, there are lots of interesting visual elements to look at, but this should not be surprising, as it’s Disney after all. Just note that this ride is particularly noisy when you’re going up, and especially in the darkened area with what looks to be explosives. That part was incredibly loud. However, it did not deter me from riding the coaster again.

This is our second time at Disneyland Paris and we'll never get sick of this ride! It's just so much fun! We think it's a must do during your perfect day in dlp

I loved this ride. The theming is brilliant and the layout is great. The first drop is very intense and I love the airtime hills. Normally quite busy queues so either go towards the start or end of the day.

Better than Disney World version, theming is awesome! This ride is based on Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain and both have 3 lift hills. But! The Paris version launches you underground, beneath the water, to the island in the middle of a lake. Theming is so much fun- you feel you are at an abandoned rail mine in the SouthWest USA circa early 1900's. On your return, there is a return dark part that after riding twice I am still trying to figure out how we got back to the shore. So much fun, and the visuals at night are stunning!

I have been to Disneyland twice with different groups and each time we agreed that this is one of the most beautiful and funny attractions. The theme is very well implemented, you can see how much effort was put into it and the ride is not so scary but also not boring. We have been at this attraction around 7 times as it was huge fun and we enjoyed it. We were lucky as people started preparing for the parade to catch 10-5min queues which is almost nothing as during the day the shortest queue is usually around 40min. So if you saw the show or are okay with staying further from the castle, one tip is to ride this attraction later around 22:30 when there are fewer people, and if you ride it during the show you will have a view of the castle and drones.

I love this ride! The queue is so huge so we didn’t go when the app says you have to wait 55m - we went at the end when it says 30m waiting but ended up waiting like 40-45m. Although it was worth the wait, the ride was so great! Would go again if the wait is not that long 😭 They even have 2 rides going at the same time yet so long wait 😭😭😭 Photos taken while waiting hahaa

Amazing coaster, I loved it! Made for family!

Definitely more intense than WDW. Also I think it's a lot longer. Portions in the dark are really cool (going under the lake) Also love that the dynamite effect is on and working which I have never gotten to experience at my home park. Rose this twice, first time at night which was really beautiful Definitely my favorite ride at this park. Do not miss (and try to ride at night too!) On the 2 days we had at the parks we rode or 5 times - 4 times in one dya alone.

Big Thunder at Disneyland Paris has great sunset views and has a longer period of time in the dark at the end of the ride than other Big Thunders. This is my favorite one and I've been both in the US. What an epic adventure!

I love Big Thunder Mountain! This is one of the few roller coasters that I can actually handle lol We got to Disneyland Paris and Frontierland was our first stop. Naturally, Big Thunder Mountain was our first ride that we wanted to hit in Frontierland. We went over and found that it was shut down. Sadness. We were bummed. No worries. We figured we could come back later, or on the way out to hit this ride. It's very similar to Big Thunder Mountain in California. It is fast, but not too fast. It is still enjoyable, and you can see the views. For me, this is a nice, relaxing ride, with some speed lol It does not go upside down or anything crazy- thankfully.

Builds on what already is a great ride originating in a California and makes an even more wilder ride in the wilderness. Speeding through canyons, caverns and pitch black tunnels on and off the island gets my heart pounding. I don't do well on most roller coasters, but I can handle this one. Its popularity guarantee needing a fast pass.

Hang on to your hat and glasses as this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness! Well, this ride's a classic, so you will definitely need to ride this if you're at Disneyland! The wait time on the board was about 60 mins when I got there, but the line seemed to have moved faster than that. It was closed for refurbishment when I was here last year, so it was good to be able to ride it this year. The ride was pretty much identical to the one at the Disneyland back in Anaheim, CA.

The exterior, station, and the path of the ride is different than the US versions but still just as fun. Actually, it feels faster with steeper climbs and drops than the US versions. It's a great thrill rides with spectacular views while zipping and zooming around on this runaway mine train. It's a definite must ride.
