Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

A mining train roller coaster called Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is present at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Park in Paris. Big Thunder Mountain is the name of the attraction in Tokyo and Paris. The name of the fictitious rail line that the roller coaster portrays is likewise Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Due to its tight curves and unexpected dips that seem to startlingly approach rock sides, this runaway mine train coaster often feels quicker and more thrilling at night. It winds through rainbow tunnels and rocky gorges. After a 2014 renovation, the coaster lost a little bit of its endearingly bumpy ride, but it gained an explosive—literally—final lift hill that has increased the adrenaline factor of the attraction.

After leaving the outdoor station, trains travel through a tunnel full with bats, a stalactite-filled cavern, a right turn, and a left turn before climbing the first lift hill. As it leaves the lift hill, the train deviates to the right before leveling off and turning to the left. After there, the route passes beneath the second lift hill drop and then turns to the right. As the train enters a cave, coyotes can be heard howling outside. The train encounters a trim brake at the tunnel's end, leaves, and ascends the second lift hill. An animatronic goat bleats at passing tourists from the top of the lift as it descends to the right, passes underneath the hill of the lift, and ascends into a downward spiraling clockwise helix. When the train exits the helix, it races down a tiny gorge before descending into a mining community and hitting another trim brake. The train then turns left, travels through a different tunnel, and ascends the third lift hill. The tunnel is detonated as the train ascends it, and when it crests the lift and emerges from the tunnel, fake smoke is blasted in the passengers' faces. The train then turns right and descends to the right, heading towards the river, before passing through a brief tunnel.

The trains make a left turn after crossing the drop, pass through the ribcage of a T-rex skeleton, strike a trim brake, and then turn right into the final brakes. The Rainbow Ridge buildings are subsequently passed as the train makes its way back to the station.
