Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, a roller coaster in Frontierland at Disneyland. (The minimum height to ride is 40 inches.)
This 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.
Readers' rating:
Back when coasters were more about fun that exreme thrills and pain, this coaster came out of era as a crowning gem. One of the few rides that I will admit to being better than WDW's version, we rode this more than Space mountain, because in Disneyland, it is far better than Space Mountain. - Skipper Adam Fun, fun, fun. I went on the ride with my little cousins during the day and we had a blast and during the late night hours I went on again to get a taste of the nighttime experience with dad. A great ride, really cool whether it's night or day. - Teddy D. Fun, fun, fun.

I had more fun on gadget go coaster. - Steven D This ride has Fast Pass, although not indicated on the maps (at least not in July '11). - Amy Tupper My favorite Disneyland Resort attraction. It's just FUN. The lines are not as long as in past years. More exciting if you ride it at night. - Erik Avila Great themeing and a classic attraction a must do. - nick . Although it is not the most thrilling coaster, the ride is actually pretty long and is definitely enjoyable the entire time. - Andy B More attraction and restaurant ratings:
