“This previously rough ride offers an updated track that is as smooth as it is thrilling. The added scene elements give plenty to spot and look forward to on future rides.” 
– DYLAN DUNCAN

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened at Magic Kingdom after a 16-month refurbishment with four notable changes: a completely rebuilt track without the old school teeth-chattering bumps, new trains with updated lap bars for bigger bellies, new phosphorescent cavern effects inside the mountain, and a lowered height requirement of 38 inches, down from 40.

Holler at Dylan Duncan (Instagram | Website) for going behind the scenes and catching some footage of the new ride.

That’s it. Go ride it.
