What a day and what a ride. Although wait was long but we found a slot that was slightly lesser wait time - around 60-70 minutes. The videos and pictures would tell the joy we had ! They’ll speak for themselves. Who ever wants to go, definitely recommended and a must go ride - worth the wait time !

Definitely my favorite ride in both WDW and DisneyLand. I am a huge wimp for rides and roller coasters but this one is crazy enough to be enjoyable but not to crazy to be sickening. 100% recommend!

One of our families favorite Magic Kingdom rides. It never disappoints. It’s longer than most roller coasters and the theming is great. We went on the Friday after Labor Day and waited less than 45 minutes around 5pm. The feature where you spin the lever and an animated bird appears is awesome!

This is a really fun classic roller coaster. The mountain has good scenery, and really adds to the atmosphere of Frontierland. The queue can either be really short or really long at times, so it may depend if you need Lightning lane for this ride. The actual roller coaster itself is very enjoyable. While the lifts can be loud, it’s mild enough for families to enjoy this coaster. It’s also longer than most coasters on property. Overall, would recommend riding during your trip!

The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a great ride, but to me not worth the one and a half hour wait to ride. It’s a very fast paced roller coaster made to look like a mine car. There are several mining related displays along the waiting line that adds some interest. Other than the long wait it is really fun.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is one of my all-time favorite rides at Walt Disney World. The thrill of racing through a mine, dodging boulders and runaway carts, never gets old. The combination of speed, twists, and turns makes it an exhilarating experience for riders of all ages. The ride's scenic beauty is also a major draw. The mine's intricate details, the towering mountains, and the glimpses of the surrounding wilderness create a truly magical atmosphere. I love the way the ride blends seamlessly with the Frontierland theme park, making it feel like a real adventure. If you're looking for a fun and exciting ride that will keep you coming back for more, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a must-do. It's a classic Disney ride that has stood the test of time, and it's sure to delight riders of all ages.

Very awful experience, the ride broke down many times throughout the day. The only reason this is a 2 star review and not 1 star is because of the cast members working on it.
