Big Thunder Mountain Reopens after Refurbishment

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom reopened on Saturday, January 14, after being closed for refurbishment.

The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness was only closed for a few days for refurbishment. The attraction was closed from January 9 through January 13.

We didn’t notice anything super specific that might’ve been changed or updated. We’re thinking the ride just got a deep cleaning and regular maintenance. The ride wait times got up over an hour on the day the ride reopened. Guests were excited to ride the rails again.
