I've been on this ride multiple times over 30 years...I've always enjoyed it much more than Space Mountain. It's not going to set any records, but it's pretty good by Disney standards and watching my wife and daughter enjoy it together adds greatly to it's allure for me personally.

Airtimes Theming Fun Dead spots

I haven't ridden many mine train coasters, but this one really sets the standard. Despite not being excessively fast, it is really fun and has some good airtime too. The last bit after the third chain lift seems rather pointless though.

The mine train of all mine trains. Super long ride with great theming, but some parts do nothing.

Great mine train! Can't score it any higher given it's not the kind of ride that I enjoy the most, but it's fantastic for what it is.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

Like Space Mountain at DL, this is a very smooth, well-themed, enjoyable ride. Big Thunder Mountain itself looks absolutely beautiful, the ride is rather smooth and has some good pops of airtime and laterals. Overall, very fun ride. It's a shame that this and Splash Mountain are going away. My entire childhood has been taken from my heart, crumbled into a ball, and exploded into millions of tiny pieces. R.I.P.

A fun ride with good themes. Main criticism is that it's a single lap bar for both riders so my 6y/o nephew didn't feel secure to me and was sliding around the seat.

Theming Layout Disappointing!

Simply not as good as it’s california counterpart. It’s roughly a mirror image, but the theming isn’t as good and it’s missing the awesome tunnel explosion set piece from Disneyland. Also missing the town scene at the end that I loved so much.

Theming Duration Rattle Harness Dead spots

The theming is great on this one like all Disney rides, but the pacing isn't too good. 3 lift hills is too much. I feel like this would also be better if it had proper seats and not open 2 person seats with a lap bar because you bang into one another on the turns, you don't really feel the forces. It's not awful but space mountain is better. This one is better at night though since it's harder to see making things a surprise

This is actually a really solid coaster. I don't exactly remember the first time I rode it in 2011 when I was 8 years old but I remember that I didn't really like it the first time around because I thought it was a little janky. Now this is one of my favorite coasters at Magic Kingdom even if it bruises me up a little. Overall, solid family coaster.

This is a great ride! I love the helixes and it has some airtime, surprisingly for a family coaster. The theming is nice as well. However, this ride just doesn’t compete with the other coasters I’ve rode. Pro tip: ride this during the Magic Kingdom fireworks

A Disney classic with slight differences than it’s counterparts. It’s not a bad ride, typical BTMRR. For some reason, I feel this version was even less thrilling than the California one, but maybe it’s in my head. I will say I like this station and load area more than I do in California.

The theming on this ride is great as usual for Disney. Not the most thrilling ride but it’s definitely one of the best mine train coasters out there.

I got the back of one of the middle cars and I really enjoyed the cave pre lift section. But I must add that the lifts are obnoxious noisy. It was so loud I plugged my ears on both lifts (which was a theme that I saw on space Mountain as well). The ride is fun but didn’t blow me away with the forces. Good well themed family coaster that reminded me a lot of the Pepsi Orange Streak at my own home park but with surperior theming

Theming Disappointing!

My low rating of this ride is mostly my fault. For some reason I came into this ride expecting a LOT and it gave me very little. Probably the most disappointed I've ever been after a ride. I don't know why I expected so much, but I owe this coaster a reride. The theming is also incredible of course, as is the typical Disney World standard.

This is actually a very fun family coaster. Yes I would say there are some I repeat some dead spots here and there but this ride actually has a good amount of intense moments especially that big head cutter moment. The theming is outstanding which is expected in any Disney ride and the duration on this ride is great but what makes it nice there are many trains and there are quick dispatches we waited about 30 minutes in a line that looked 2-3 hours. Overall fun ride and a must do with your family at Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom.

Big thunder mountain is a great family coaster, it has some pops of ejector in the back row and the rock work is spectacular. it runs with a lot of trains and it´s queue is very detailed. there are some dead spots due to the quantity of lifts, but is not that big of a deal

BTMR is a great Mine Train. Being the oldest of the WDW Mine trains this Arrow is still quite fun. It packs in a long ride with the three lift hills and has some great consistent theming throughout the queue and also the ride. The setting is great with the rockwork and the water nearby. The only complaint I have is that this Arrow has gotten quite a bit rougher then the Arrow in the park. Even so the ride is great and the best Arrow Mine Train I’ve done just beating Thunderation at Silver Dollar City.

Theming Lap Bar Fun Dead spots

The lap bar gives the rider so much freedom to bounce and slide around that this roller coaster helps pass kidney stones, according to "Validation of a Functional Pyelocalyceal Renal Model for the Evaluation of Renal Calculi Passage While Riding a Roller Coaster" located at jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2557373. The section after third and final lift hill is slow and feels pointless.

Eric Esty 3 years ago

Theming Fun Duration Discomfort

My only gripe with this ride is that the transitions are somewhat rough, and the single lap bar means the smaller rider will often have too much room, and you'll likely be sliding around on the plastic seat. Other than that, this is a serious contender for one of the best mine trains ever built. Excellently themed and landscaped, fast paced, and pure fun.

Theming

Orlando's Big Thunder Mountain is a heavily themed mine train. The theming is top notch, though I prefer Anaheim's.The coaster itself is pretty good for a mine train, but not an elite coaster by any means. However, it is one of the best experiences at one of the world's best parks.
