Advantages: The ride is perfect for first time coaster riders

Disadvantages: If the weather is bad the ride does not run

Big Thunder Mountain is a roller coaster ride in the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. The ride is themed as an old runaway mine train. The ride was opened in September 1979 and is sill open to this day. This ride has 4 sisters around the world all with the same theme but different track layout.

The ride at Walt Disney World is located at the back of the park next to Splash Mountain. The ride is themed so well that rattle snakes through the day move to the desert like hills created for the ride. Each morning before the ride opens workers have to walk the track and surroundings removing these snake before guests arrive.

The ride last 3.18 minutes and has 3 lifts that take riders to the top of the mountain to wind its way back down. The drops on the ride are not big and the track only reaches a total height of 50 ft. The reason the ride is do good is because of the tight turns and sudden small drops. The theme when on the ride is also very good. Going through mines, and caves with bats and waterfalls.

This ride is a perfect first roller coaster for anyone. It is not really fast and has no big drops. Once you have done this ride you can make you way up to the next stage.
The line normally is not very long of this ride but it depends what time of year you go.
The ride does has a fast pass line so if the line it long you can get a ticket and come back later for a shorted line.

Summary: Give it a go. You will love it.
