Pros: Line moves fairly quickly, really cool ride design
Cons: Usually long lines, slightly jerky near the rear of the train

Every ride or attraction at Walt Disney World is wonderfully themed and carefully thought out. This holds true for one of my favorite attractions, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, located in the Magic Kingdom theme park. Set in the Wild West, this ...

Pros: Great Rollercoaster for beginners. Fits right in in Frontierland
Cons: The line is long and hot in the Summer

In the mythical town of Tumble Weed California, there was a mountain, said to filled with gold! At the height of the California Gold rush,a flash flood, and an earthquake wiped out the small mining town.

You can relive the event that...

Pros: Not too scary, long duration, can utilize fastpass
Cons: Too tame for some roller coaster fans, lines long without fastpass

The only one in my family willing to go on big roller coasters, the ones with huge drops and lots of loops, is my 10 year old. My husband will make the claim every year that he’s going to go on one with her but always seems to have an excuse when it...

Pros: Decent first roller coaster, pretty nice dips and twists.
Cons: Not the best coaster for coaster fanatics, very basic.

I have always been a huge roller coaster fan, ever since I was really young. My very first experience with roller coasters, actually happened to be at Disney World in Orlando Florida. One of my original favorite roller coasters in Disney World actually ...

Pros: A Fast Pass ride! Fun roller coaster, nice "scenery," good queue.
Cons: Not a very intense ride, but still fun.

I've mentioned before that both of my young sons are in love with trains. Whether it's Thomas & Friends, the Salt Lake City light rail system, or a Disneyland Monorail, trains are about the coolest things around. And then they met the Big Thunder ...

Pros: An exciting ride; interesting theming you'll see the 2nd or 3rd time around
Cons: Too short and slow for coaster enthusiasts; too wild for some

I've been on Big Thunder Mountain pretty much annually since 1995. My daughter was only five years old on her first trip there, and while Space Mountain and Splash Mountain were out of the question (for her, I didn't care one way or the other,) she...

Pros: Mist Makers In The Line
Cons: Not For Weak Stomachs

The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad isn’t for the faint of heart! Twisting and turning through a man made mountain, you not only experience high G-forces in the corners but also moments of weightlessness that test the very limits of human endurance.
...

Pros: Excellent scenery
Cons: Will probably disappoint hardcore roller coaster enthusiasts

The Magic Kingdom is not a place renowned for the extremity and quantity of its roller coasters. The coasters there are actually some of the tamest you’ll find at any major theme park, and there’s only two of them. What these coasters lack in intensity,...

Pros: fun soundtrack, good theme, fun for the whole family, great roller coaster, FASTPASS
Cons: short ride, long lines

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was probably one of my favorite rides in Walt Disney World! It is located in Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom of Disney World. This roller coaster is perfect for families and has a fun theme! It is great for the ...

Pros: Nice roller coaster
Cons: Not very thrilling

Note: This will be my heading for all the Disney attractions, so don’t think that I am writing duplicate reviews.

Recently I had taken a trip to Orlando Florida, which explains my week-long leave from the site. When I was there I went...

Pros: Great scenery, its in Disney World
Cons: three lifts. Not enough momentum for the train to reach the end on its own.

While on honeymoon at Disney World my wife and I spent quite a bit of time in the Magic Kingdom. One of the rides I insisted on going on was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. For me it was another roller coaster go get on. For her it was a ride to...

Pros: Some thrills and great artistry to recreate the wild west
Cons: Line can be unbearably hot

What did 17 million dollars get you in 1979? A great ride that is know as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. (It's also the year I was born, so it can't be half bad, anyway.) This is a rollercoaster masquerading as a train through mines and the flooded town...

Pros: Fun Ride for the kids both young and old
Cons: Not for those who do not like roller coasters

I remember when this ride was under construction. So if you are really young, you will know I am a big kid by Disney standards. Actually, what I really enjoy thinking about is that we were at Disney within a few years of the Grand Opening. I still have...

Pros: Great ride
Cons: long lines

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, along with several other rides at Disney are on my list of tops for thrills and adventure. I am a really big ride freak. There has not been a ride yet, to make me lose my cookies. I just love the adrenaline rush that I...
