Magic Kingdom
Refurbishment
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad sends you rattling through a runaway mine train adventure in the heart of Frontierland at Magic Kingdom. This outdoor coaster weaves past towering red-rock buttes, crumbling mine shafts, and splashing waterfalls, mixing quick turns and small drops with plenty of playful surprises. Themed details, flickering lanterns, and old mining equipment add to the feeling that the mountain might shake apart at any moment. It’s fast and bumpy but family-friendly, offering big thrills without going upside down, and is especially atmospheric at night when the desert landscape glows.
