I love this coaster. I rode this twice as soon as the park opened. The coaster is not too quick and has a lot of fun turns. There arent any scary drops but the speed and turns are what make this fun. I would definitely make time for this.

Pros:

fun and fast

Cons:

lines, wouldnt wait more than 40/60 mins for this coaster

The first rollercoaster I ever rode and it’s still a must do for me when I go to the Magic Kingdom. Not too crazy and fun theming really makes you feel you’re in the Wild West.

Pros:

Good starter rollercoaster Great theming Great for kids, especially in the front Plus size friendly!

Cons:

Can be a bit rough in the back Can launch you out of your seat if there is a size difference between riders (this can be a good thing but maybe not for a kid’s first time on a rollercoaster)

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.
