Disney finally gets it right. Unlike its tame U.S. counterparts, this Thunder Mountain offers a few moments of real excitement, not to mention great theming.

For me, the best Big Thunder Mountain of them all. Longer and more thrilling than the other US versions. Note that this ride seems to go a lot slower in the morning! Sit in the last row for the most thrills! - Daniel Smith
