Big Thunder Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain is a thrilling attraction in Frontierland at Disneyland Paris. This roller coaster takes you on a ride through an abandoned mining town in the American Wild West.
The Concept
Inspired by the legend of a haunted mine, Big Thunder Mountain offers an adventurous experience in which you race through a mountain full of secrets in mine carts. The attraction is designed to recreate the rugged beauty of the American Southwest, with steep cliffs and deep ravines.
The Experience
You board mine carts that run along narrow tracks through the mountain. The ride starts off gently, but the carts soon pick up speed and whizz through dark tunnels, over hills and past waterfalls.
The combination of fast turns and unexpected drops makes the ride thrilling and fun. Along the way, you can enjoy the views and detailed sets that make it feel like a real mining town.
