Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
 
Zip in and out of a deserted gold mine on a runaway train. It's a swervy, curvy roller coaster ride through steep mountain passes, into caves, under falling boulders, and on to Tumbleweed, a flooded mining town. Ride it again and again to take in all the wacky Disney touches.

 

Facts:

Big Thunder Mountain is the tallest "mountain" in Florida at 197 feet.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Abbreviated BTMR, was built in 1980 and is approx. 2,780 feet long. The trains consist of Five 5-car trains, 6 riders per car.  Ride time is approx 3 minutes, 32 seconds with a average speed of  30 mph.

Just before you roll back into the station, there are three rusting gear wheels on the right-hand side of the track that form a Mickey.
