Saddle up for a rip-roaring adventure through the Wild West on Big Thunder Mountain, one of Disneyland Paris’ most beloved coasters. Set in the cursed mining town of Thunder Mesa, this high-speed runaway train ride is packed with dynamite drops, rattling turns, and wild canyon escapes. Uniquely built on an island in the middle of the Rivers of the Far West, it’s the only version of the ride in the world with this layout, making it a must-do exclusive at Disneyland Paris.
Board your train at the Big Thunder Mining Company and prepare for a wild journey through cursed caves, rickety bridges, explosive tunnels, and steep ravines. With no loops or inversions, this ride strikes the perfect balance between family-friendly thrills and old-school coaster excitement. You'll zoom past geysers, skeletons, and abandoned mining equipment as the story of Thunder Mesa unfolds with every twist and turn.
Big Thunder Mountain is more than just a roller coaster; it’s a themed adventure perfect for both families and thrill-seekers. It’s ideal for guests who want fast-paced excitement without extreme drops, and the Paris-exclusive island layout offers a unique ride path you won’t find anywhere else. It’s also a great stepping stone for kids looking to graduate from dark rides to coasters.
