Big Thunder Mountain RailroadRoller coasterMinimum height to ride: 40 inches About Big Thunder Mountain RailroadThis relatively mild coaster takes you through an abandoned gold mine in the old west. Try the "goat trick," by keeping your eyes on the goat as you descend the second hill for as long as you can. How mild is this coaster? The front cars of the train will bottom out on the third hill before the middle of the train even crests. Photos from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Readers' Opinions
After all these years, this ride is still my favorite. Anyone whos ridden it knows why. PURE FUN. - Kathryn Bonner Still thrills and impresses as the world's best - themed wooden coaster. Ride it at least once in your visit, it's one of the best coasters ever. As with most Disney rides, GO ON IT AT NIGHT. - T.S. Stone One of my favorite rides in the entire Disneyland resort. This fun ride combines great theming and scenery with some fast turns. The theming really gives this ride an extra positive as it makes the riders feel as if though they are on a runaway train in the west with wild animals on the side of the track. The train also goes through an earthquake near the end of the ride. This ride is absoulutely a Disney classic and is a must ride. The ride usually doesn't have really long lines, they usually run in the 20-30 minute range in the day. When the park is really crowded the line can go over 45 minutes and in that situation I suggest using fastpass. My suggestion is try this ride at night. Riding Big Thunder at night is one of the best experiences in the park and wait times are usually shorter after 9:30 pm. - Manny Barron I love this ride! It's one of my favorites. - Chloe ! This was a fun ride that I enjoyed. It's the perfect mild rollercoaster. Older children and up will love it! - Alexz Krysstensin This is a fun little ride, and at night it is awesome. The theming again (like every disney ride) is intricate and awesome. all-around family fun! - Patrick Gorham I like this ride - Ben E. A TEN OUT OF TEN! My first major roller coaster. Very fun. I never get atired of it and at night... DAYYUMMM!!!!! Loads of fun at night. P.S. a little tip: ask for line 13. i think... well, i'm talking about the front row of the last car. its the fastest and bumpiest. =) - Lucas Lee Not too intense but pretty fun and really, really well themed! As you probably know, its a whole different experience at night. - Sam C It's the best ride to go on at night - lewis bryces I loooove this ride!!! It is one of the best themed roller coasters I have ever seen! Bravo Disney!! - Sarah E
