| Space Mountain may be
a bit scarier since it's in the dark,
but Thunder Mountain is no slouch.
While not approaching the speeds or
g-forces of some of it's modern day
cousins (including the Rock n Roller
Coaster at the Disney/MGM Studios),
Thunder Mountain is a wild ride filled
with tight turns and quick drops. The
ride takes you on a serpentine race
through mountains and caves, but there
are no inversions (e.g., loops or corkscrews)—just
good old fashioned speed. |
|
|
 |
 |
| Your runaway train zips
around it about 30 mph, but the tight
turns and drops make it feel a whole
lot faster. |
|

 |
|
| Thunder Mountain takes
you on a frantic tour of an abandoned
mining town, and the attention to detail
is amazing, particularly in the town
and in the underground cave. Thunder
Mountain takes on a whole different
personality at night, it's much eerier
and a whole new experience—try
it during the day and night if you
can. |

|
 |
|
| You're going to get
bounced around a lot, especially in
the turns where the centrifugal forces
are quite intense. If you're riding
with a smaller child, you'll want to
board first to take the brunt of the
turns. |

 |
| Thunder Mountain is
one of the most popular attractions
at the Magic Kingdom, and its proximity
to Splash Mountain ensures that crowds
are usually long all day. Check out
Touring
Tips for ways to avoid long
wait times. |

 |
| Your runaway train takes
about 3 1/2 minutes to find its way
back to the station. |

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
is a steel track coaster thats lots of fun but not too scary
(no flips or loops here). The emphasis here is on fun, not
heart stopping thrills. Don't miss it! |
