| You must be 40" tall
to ride. Big Thunder Mountain features lots of
sharp of turns and sudden drops. If you have
back problems or other medical conditions you'll
want to be especially cautious. |

| Big Thunder Mountain
is a FastPass attraction. Like the nearby Splash
Mountain, it’s one of the most popular
attractions at the Magic Kingdom and lines can
be long (45 minutes on slower days and 90 minute
or more on busier days, though it’s usually
not quite as busy as Splash Mountain). The bulk
of the queue line is a back and forth maze in
the station which can make a long wait seem even
longer (the line does move along at a decent
pace however). A popular FastPass strategy is
to get a FastPass for either Thunder Mountain
or nearby Splash Mountain first thing in the
morning, then ride the other while you wait for
your FastPass time to arrive. At that time you
shouldn’t have to wait long for either
attraction. If you’re lucky and the park
isn’t too busy you may even get to loop
them for a while until the crowds start to build! |

| Big Thunder Mountain
is usually open during Extra Magic Hours. You
can ride as often as you’d like with little
or no wait! |
|
|
|
| This is one of the
few attractions where you won’t be able
to request a front row seat (unless there’s
no line). You do have some control of where you
can sit, however. Assuming you aren’t in
the very front, as you move down the train you
may be able to choose between sitting way in
the back and somewhere in the middle (if the
attraction is very busy though don’t count
on it, you may be asked to continue down as far
as you can go). If you are able to choose, keep
in mind that the further back you sit, the rougher
the ride is. |

| If you are riding
with a small child you should board so that you’re
sitting on the right (with the child on the left).
You’ll find that most of the turns (but
not all) will throw you to the right, and by
sitting on that side you won’t crush your
companion. When you’re thrown to the left,
well, just hang on! |
|
|
|
| Hang on to your hats-literally!
You’ll be bouncing around a lot and it’s
easy to lose lost articles. |
