Very great family coaster! The theming is absolutely amazing. However, I feel like Magic Kingdom’s BTMR could use a refurbishment. Disneyland keeps theirs so maintained and has many great effects that’s Disney World does not have. Also, Disneyland keeps their track smooth and Magic Kingdom’s can get bumpy.
Pros:
-Great family coaster -Absolutely iconic -Amazing themingCons:
-Can use a re-track along with new effectsReviewed by ChefDionofLima Review Date: 09/29/2021

One of the best themed thrill rides in the MK. I dare you not to slide around. Love the theming. If you're gonna rope drop make this one of your first attractions. Pro tip, everyone usually takes the path through either Adventureland or Liberty Square. Don't walk all the way through Adventure land save time and steps by cutting between Aloha Aisle or by the Adventureland restrooms to beat the extra traffic.
Pros:
Excellent theming, high reridability because the ride experience is quite different depending on where you are sat.Cons:
Wait times can be tough. And weather can shut the ride down.Reviewed by JustinDoesDisney Review Date: 09/22/2021

A true classic (and I know that word is often overused, but this ride is worthy) Walt Disney World attraction! It is probably exactly what Walt had in mind when building The Carolwood Pacific Railroad in his backyard. It's not the fastest coaster in the world (or even Disney World), but the way it whips you around those sharp curves, it is truly an enjoyable experience for anyone meeting the 40-inch height requirement. For the wildest ride on the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness, request the back row! 🙂
Pros:
Line usually moves quickly, classic Disney experience, theming/backstoryCons:
Closes during inclement weather (ride it early!)Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 09/20/2021

Excellent theming, a nice steady and fun speed, you get really immersed in this ride as you go through caves and through the canyon. This is also a great ride for younger people who are gradually going from the Barn Stormer or Gadgets Go Coaster in Disneyland to more intense coasters. As you get older though and go on this ride more and more, you realize it isn’t as thrilling as some of the other rides in Disney World. Overall a great experience and I will ride this ride every chance I get.
Pros:
Great theming, thrilling, a great step up coaster for younger riders.Cons:
Can get a little stale over time as you can find more thrilling coastersReviewed by MaydayPeppers Review Date: 09/05/2021

I thoroughly enjoy this ride every time I get on it. The interactive queue wasn't really available due to Covid, but the queue was still enjoyable. The track isn't really a smooth ride and I definitely felt like I was being thrown around, however it added to the experience. I go on this multiple times each trip. I love it!
Pros:
Great views Two trains with two lines so the wait isn't longCons:
Some of the drops are anticlimatic and very slow. It's very rickety. If you get seated in the first row you can't see much because the train blocks your view.Reviewed by Kyla Review Date: 09/05/2021

I love this ride! The long length of the ride is worth the wait times this ride gets, and a perfect moderate coaster. A little bumpy but not too terrible overall.
Pros:
ride length queue themingCons:

This might be the most overrated attraction in Magic Kingdom (maybe even WDW as a whole). It's neither as well themed as Big Thunder in California, nor as thrilling or intense as the version in Paris. It's nice for kids and offers nice views of Frontierland, but as a ride it is a bit anaemic and suffers from a lack of imagination; I would argue that Seven Dwarves Mine Train offers a more interesting ride experience.
Pros:
It's a 'classic' I guess? The theming is fun if a bit sparse, the ride vehicles are iconic, and the views of Frontierland/Magic Kingdom are excellent.Cons:
No projection effects on the lift-hill like in the other versions. Nowhere near as exciting as the version in Paris, and nowhere near as well themed and maintained as Disneyland's. Just not exciting enough a track layout for an outdoor rollercoaster.Reviewed by BlueGill Review Date: 08/28/2021
