I love this ride! I get motion sick easily so bigger roller coasters really get to me but Big Thunder isn't one of those yet is also still thrilling. I love the theming and how it was something I easily remembered from when I went as a kid.

Pros:

fun coaster, doesn't whip you around much

Cons:

Long waits, wait is mostly outside, shorter ride

This ride is very thrilling. The back goes faster than the front. Great for older kids but may too much for little ones.

Pros:

Great theming, fun for the whole family.

Cons:

Ride is a little bumpy.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is an upbeat and exciting attraction! This attraction has an interactive queue which helps time go by. I find that this is probably my least favorite mountain. This attraction is a good attraction for people who enjoy roller coasters but don't like crazy coasters. I definitely recommend sitting in the back to get a more WILD experience! I would not use a primary Fast Pass (your original set of 3) on this attraction. I find that the wait time is always shorter then posted. I have had the luck before where the posted wait time is about half the actual time. I do highly recommend this attraction for all visitors!
Pro Tip: When the line splits moving to the loading stations, stay on the left side. The left moves faster as people typically drift right.

Pros:

The bumps, turns, the interactive queue.

Cons:

No big drops

A Brilliant ride for the whole family. It’s definitely one of my top attractions in Magic Kingdom.

Pros:

Great ride for the family. It’s a good rollercoaster for people who don’t like rollercoasters as it doesn’t go upside down.

Cons:

Long wait times (worth a Fastpass)

For me it's the best thrill ride in Magic Kingdom if not the best ride. OK, It's my Favorite ride in MK. I love when the guy says "It's the wildest ride in the Willldernesss"

Pros:

I love how it's themes, like an old abandoned mine. With all the bones, smoke, caves so close. It's not the fastest, but it IS the wildest.

Cons:

It is a little clangy, not as smooth as some steel coasters. but not too clangy
