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

This is a nice long coaster with a truly immersive theming from the lines to the ride itself.

Pros:

Long, great theming

Cons:

Line activities were broken when we were there, almost all of them!

Obviously a must-do! It does often have a long wait time, but the ride is so much fun and memorable. The queue has interactive features that help pass the time, but it's still an uncomfortable and crowded queue. Also note that, especially if you sit near the back, it can toss you around quite a bit. If you easily get whiplash, I'd recommend asking for a seat near the front. Also note that the ride is very short, but thrilling nonetheless. The theming is also incredible! I'd highly recommend this to any newcomers at Disney.

Pros:

Thrilling, fun ride Interactive queue Fun for all ages

Cons:

Usually has a long wait Queue can be uncomfortable and crowded Short ride time Can throw you around a bit

As a kid, I always thought I'd outgrow this ride. Years later.... I still haven't. This ride is always a must do when my family goes to Disney World. When the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opened back in 2013, it took away a lot of the wait time for Thunder Mountain. Thank God because Thunder Mountain is still better than the Mine Train in my opinion! The theming for this ride is incredible and I can't believe how underrated this ride still is.

Pros:

The wait time has gone down Theming Rickedyness of the Ride

Cons:

Not the most thrilling coaster

Iconic Disney ride that everyone should enjoy at least once. Most likely to please many ages.

Pros:

Nice step up from the barnstormer, but not as intense as some of the bigger coasters throughout Orlando. The wait is usually shortest of the three mountains and it seems to load pretty quickly, especially right now.

Cons:

Jerky and bumpy at times and the brakes can hurt. Kind of repetitive as it’s got three lift ramps that lead to lots of turns going down.

It's my least favorite mountain at the park, but it is still really fun. Great theming. Not quite as thrilling as splash or space to me, but that makes it great for one of the first roller coasters you bring your little one's on.

Pros:

Right amount of thrill. Great for kids first roller coaster.

Cons:

Not quite as thrilling as other mountains in magic kingdom.

i really like this ride however don’t feel it has the same adrenaline once you’ve ridden it once and gets a bit repetitive

Pros:

Cons:

it’s good unless your riding in the front, ends up being slow
