Brilliant ride with fantastic theming, although it does seem a bit slow after several sessions on Space Mountain. One thing we did different this time was to ride at night and it definitely gives the ride a bit of a new perspective.

One tip, don’t sit at the front unless you want a slow ride – the pauses at the top of lifts, followed by the slow descent as the rest of the cars carried on up the lift were very irritating.

I can recommend this ride and we really enjoyed it.

However we wanted to use the fast pass and babyswap as well. Well Fast Pass was fine but we were told for the baby swap the other adult had to wait at the exit. However when 2nd adult went to get on ride he was told no even though he had a ticket. not happy.

I agree with the review before. We have been to Disneyland Paris three times now and have been on this ride as much as possible. The first year my mum and I queued up for 2 hours but if you use the fast pass, queue time is around 15 minutes so I highly recommend using the fast pass. I am not a roller coaster fan but this is my favourite ride of all. Absolutely brilliant.

We have been coming to Disneyland Paris for the past seven years twice a year and this ride is one of the ones we look forward to the most!! It is very popular so expect queueing.

Absolutely LOVE this ride! Think it would appeal to most, even those who are not rollercoaster fans (like myself).

It is more exhilirating (spelling?) than anything as you whizz inside and out of the mountain with gorgeous views over Frontierland (nice also at night).

Fastpass works well and we were on the ride within 15 minutes whilst the main queue was 70 minutes.

Always love this ride and scream with happiness as I try to hit the possum, splash my partner with water in the waterfall and wave at the people on the boats.

Incidentally, much faster ride than the one at all the other Disneys.

Back of the train the best place to sit.

This is still the best ride at Disneyland Paris! The whole family agreed that this was the highlight of our week at Disney. Queue time was on average 60 minutes although we used Fastpass a couple of times too. If you can try to sit in the front carriage for a really wild ride!

First review! I have to say that I am Spanish but I will try to write correctly.

In my honest opinion this ride is a fantastic creation. It’s not the most extreme, it’s not the highest and it’s has no loopings, so it’s a coaster for everybody. The theming is excepcionally fantastic and has a good amount of details.

This is one of the most visited rides in the park, and altough the trains charge is good the queues are big since the first hour. Some days Fastpass is almost necessary because the queue can reach 2 hours.

Well, if i just had to say a sentence about Big Thunder Mountain, I’d say that I’ts worth it. If you haven’t been here you haven’t been to DLRP, and when you come home everybody will ask you about the mine train ;-).

That’s all.

A great ride and one of my favourites. The queue is really detailed but quite long, you really just have to chance it.

One of the best rides in Disneyland! The roller coaster looks absolutely beautiful and you can even discover nice details in the queue area.

Speaking of which, you should really try to get a fastpass, otherwise you’ll have to wait for about 2 hours.

And also try to sit in the back of the train! It’s much faster, much better that way.

Great ride. One of my favourites. But its not fast enough for my liking!

Still great fun though. It’s quite long as well which is good but means the queues are usually quite busy. Best at night when you can see all over the park.

In my opinion this is without a doubt the best ride out of both parks. Definitely not one to miss! A great rollercoaster for all ages, it’s not too scary so children can still enjoy it (though very young children might find the two dark sections scary – my favourite parts!), yet it’s exciting enough for teens/adults to enjoy. Overall the ride lasts a lot longer than some other rollercoasters (eg. Indiana Jones). Ask if you can sit at the back for a slightly more thrilling ride as it goes a little faster and the drops are more obvious.

With good reason it has some of the largest queues in the park; we managed to get on it 6 times during our three days without queuing ‘properly’ once. Either fast pass it, or twice we waited outside frontierland (there’s a rope there) at around 9.45am. At 10am they drop the rope and everyone hurries straight to Thunder Mountain – doing this we got on the second train of the day once and the first train of the day the next day!

What a wicked ride, probably the best in both parks. We have a family of 10 that go to disney ranging from three years old to 54 and everybody loved it!! Gone on this ride so many times and never get bored. Suitable for all the family and just brings a smile to your face!

The ride is amazing at day or night, the views are great, but at night time you can see all of disney park illuminated. It also lasts long, a good few minutes. Fastpast should be used though as queing can take hours. We used fastpast and was in within 3 minutes.

Just an amazing ride!!!

Rided 5 times this april , one of them at night wich was great and more thrilling, and i have to say that it’s the greatest attraction in both parks. I say this because it’s a family coaster,(even if i think children should be at least 6 years old to ride it) so all family can enjoy the thrills of a real roller coaster. It’s not too “hard” and not too “easy” to ride, it’s perfect! The theming is amazing! The ques are LONG so use fastpass when possible. ENJOY!

BTM is our favourite ride at Disneyland Park…If you’re not already in a good mood, you will be after riding this one! My sister and I find it most magical to be riding BTM when it’s dark outside! Great fun!

I’m not a rollercoaster person but I loved this ride!! Only got to go on it twice because the queues are sooooooo long (and you feel like you’re in a cattle market whilst waiting!) The music being played while you wait will drive you mad by the time you get on the ride itself as well!

You get some great views of the rise itself as you are queuing, although hearing the screams made me a bit nervous!

I screamed my head off all the way round but it was more excitement rather than fear!! Travelling that fast in the pitch black was very scary though! Great views while on the ride as well! Remember to smile for the camera!

Either go as soon as the ride opens or get a fastpass. Don’t waste too much precious Disney time queuing!!
