Big Thunder Mountain

A signature ride of Disneyland Paris, Big Thunder Mountain takes thrill seekers across an island in the heart of the Far West. A four-minute adventure punctuated by drops, tunnels and dust, in a setting that captivates visitors of all ages. 

A roller coaster steeped in Far West atmosphere

The track winds around an artificial mountain, surrounded by water. The runaway-mining-train cars race off at a brisk pace, reaching a top speed of about 67 km/h.

 

The strength of the attraction lies in its theming: every detail, from queue to landscape, plunges visitors into the great American West of the nineteenth century. The pioneers' atmosphere is palpable, the experience cinematic.
