DH went on this ride while we were in the Magic Kingdom - I sat it out.

Thanks to Henri for the background paper! Banner made with washi and Mickey heads also some punched heads from washi (over cs).

Journaling: When we got here I wasn’t interested in riding this mild roller coaster. I did back in the early 80s when Brian was young but didn’t feel the need to repeat it. Dennis had never ridden it so he went to stand in line while I waited.

Legend has it that a supernatural force dwells within the mountain. When gold was first discovered in the 1850s, a mining company was established. But soon, eerie things began to occur. Miners heard ghostly sounds, cave-ins became frequent and equipment mysteriously failed. Trains would take off and race through the mine and around the mountain driverless! Word got out that the mine was haunted and Big Thunder became another ghost town.

Years later, when eyewitness accounts had faded into folklore, new prospectors resurrected the Mining Company and began blasting into the spooky mountain once again. But as the new settlers became aware, some legends turn out to be true.

Amid rugged bedrock and desert cactus, you venture inside a nearly 200-foot mountain to the Big Thunder Mining Company, established in the early days of America’s Gold Rush. Traipse down into an abandoned mine shaft and discover a mysterious 5-car locomotive waiting to take you on a journey inside an abandoned shaft. The train speeds in and out of desert caverns and rumbles through a haunted mine. The train swoops around turns and drops into canyons and caves, darting through the ghost town of Tumbleweed. You then peel under a booming waterfall, past rock formations, and dodge a rumbling boulder from an inexplicable landslide. Along your adventure, glimpse the remnants of a flash flood and behold a bevy of local critters—including bats, opossum and a goat—before hastily making your way back to the safety of the railroad station.
