This one’s awesome! One of my faves. It’s the perfect amount of time, has many sudden drops and stops, and overall it’s just a really fun ride. Fun fact: when you exit your train, take a look at the very front of it. Each one has its own name, like U.B. (Something), or I.M. (Something). It’s a cool detail. I recommend this ride, especially if you’re a thrill seeker. The line can get long though, so get a LL or Rope Drop this one.

Pros:

Experience, fun fact, details

Cons:

Long line

This was a great coaster! We went on it after the fireworks and you have beautiful views of the lit up castle. My 8 year old loved it too so it’s not too scary. It whips you around but not enough to make it uncomfortable.

Pros:

Thrilling but not too scary

Cons:

Whips you around

LOVE Thunder Mountain!!

As a largely wooden coaster, Thunder Mountain could be WAY more bumpy and whiplash inducing than it is. That being said, this is still “The Wildest Ride in the Wildnerness”, so be ready for some zippy times. Overall, the ride length is really nice, and the theming is fun! Just a good all around coaster!

Pros:

Lots of fun! Good, long coaster

Cons:

Could be a BIT more unique, as wooden coasters are often themed in a similar way as this
