Frog Overview
On Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, you'll speed through mine shafts, caverns and bat caves! This Disneyland® Park mine train roller coaster takes you on a rickity ride with plenty of surprises along the way, including falling rocks and rushing water. As you make your way through Big Thunder Mountain and the Old West, keep an eye out for beautiful scenery, such as a natural arch bridge, stalagmites and stalactites, but be careful-- the coyotes and rattlers are not friendly! If you listen closely when thundering through the mine shafts, you might hear ghostly sounds of the supernatural legends from the 1850s.Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a roller coaster in Frontierland at Disneyland® Park. The roller coaster's duration is around 4 minutes long. Guests must be at least 40 inches to ride. Guests must transfer their wheelchairs or ECVs to experience Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. For wheelchair access, enter through the exit to the unload area and contact a Cast Member for boarding instructions. A transfer access vehicle is available.
