Big Thunder Mountain closing for brief refurbishment in June

Fans of the wildest ride in the wilderness might be disappointed for a few days next month. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom will be closed for a brief refurbishment from June 7 to June 12.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a fan-favorite, thrilling train coaster. The Disney World website describes it below:

“Legend has it that soon after gold was first discovered here in the 1850s, eerie things began to happen. Trains would take off and race through tunnels—by themselves.

After you arrive at the legendary Big Thunder Mining Company, descend into an abandoned mine shaft and board your train. As you enter the cursed cavern, the engine speeds up along the rickety track. Dodge exploding dynamite and falling boulders as you swoop around turns, drop into canyons and dart through the mysterious ghost town of Tumbleweed.

Your rip-roaring adventure proves that some legends are true. You’re sure to have a real blast!”
