Summary Awesome

Reviewer's Comments

I don't care for rollercoasters, but this is pretty cool. Very fast, but not loops. My husband LOVES this ride. We always ride when we go to Magic Kingdom.

Summary Lots of fun.

Reviewer's Comments

This was my 5 year old son's favorite ride ! We rode it 4 times! I thought that it was a bit "jerky". I got thrown around a lot. The theme is great !

Summary Didn't Want To Get Off!

Reviewer's Comments

My husband and I love this ride and it's our favorite at Magic Kingdom. We loved it so much we went on it six times. We are not huge roller coaster fans so this is perfect for us.

Depending what time you get there, the lines can be extremely long. When we got there the wait time was only ten minutes so we got a Fast Pass and rode it a few times before our Fast Pass time came up.

The ride is long, great turns, a little bouncy here and there and overall it's fun. The theme/design is great and you feel like you are out in the mid-West.

The best seats are in the back (if you can get them) and you feel more of the bounce in the ride. We lucked out the last two times and ended up in the back row. A great way to end the day at WDW. If the park wasn't closing we probably would have went on a few more times.

Ride is great for everyone!

Summary love it!

Reviewer's Comments

My favorite ride at MK! I love the whole thing, and the only bad thing about it is the ride is too short. The best seats are in the back, the front is way too slow. And it's more fun and thrilling at night. In fact, my favorite time on Big Thunder was one e-ride night, when I got to ride it eight times in a row without getting off!

Summary Excellent

Reviewer's Comments

One of the best coasters in Disney, and always a great deal of fun. The lines are fluctuating all the time, so the time will never be the same, but usually a decent amount of time. Good scenery to enjoy while waiting, because you probably won't be able to see it all whizzing by on the ride itself. The ride is very exhilarating, and definitely exciting for every minute of the ride. It isn't terribly long, but just long enough to satisfy everyone. Great for all ages, but the little ones may be scared a bit. Great ride that never gets old, and will always be a staple of the Magic Kingdom. Fantastic.
