Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Delayed Further

What was once the wildest ride in the wilderness hasn’t been in operation since January 9th, 2013. After a series of delay’s, we’ve learned that there is yet another. Projected re-opening of Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland will be near the end of March 2014.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was originally to re-open in “Fall 2013”, then “Winter 2014”, and now it’s pushed back. Of course opening dates are rumors as Disney doesn’t release specific dates.

With so many rumors flying around regarding the delays, it’s hard to really know what’s keeping this ride closed for over a year, but I can say for certain it is for safety reasons. There have been reports of the train leaving the tracks during tests, reports of cracked foundations and more. All these rumors of possible reasons for the delay all point to ensuring we are safe when traveling in a runaway train.

Of course we all want it to re-open. Have you checked out the cool refurbishment of the line queue as well? They are adding in an interactive queue with a background story and more. When this ride finally re-opens we are all in for a new Wildest Ride In The Wilderness!
