This is my first ever REAL roller coaster ride and as someone afraid of both HEIGHTS and ROLLER COASTERS, this was an absolute banger! Not too many high drops and not too overwhelming. Just perfect!
as somebody who absolutely cannot stand medium-sized drops this would be pretty fun. I like that the drops are pretty subtle and there aren't many drops.
@@oliviareyes8872as someone who absolutely HATES drops, I hate the drops on Cars. I’ve never been on Space Mountain so can’t say, but the “drops” in this ride are barely noticeable imo
After avoiding the Disney world version of the ride multiple times I finally decided to give it a try . I’m not really a fan of rollercoasters and I usually chicken out of getting on them . I was forced to get on this time by my mom and boyfriend. When I sat down in my seat I felt my anxiety creeping out so I started freaking out and I I was begging the workers to let me off but I had to do it . I can honestly say I enjoyed this ride, once I decided to live in the moment , I found myself raising my hands in the air and screaming. I enjoyed it so much that I went on it twice . What a way to celebrate my 21st birthday, by conquering fears and making new memories 🩷. Disneyland 4/23/24 🎉
Hey, I know this comment is a little old, but I'm so glad you enjoyed the ride! I also struggle with ride anxiety and you just described what I go through all the time with rides (panic, begging to be let off, etc), but I managed to get onto this one willingly and I agree it is SO much fun! A great, "easy" coaster for those of us who struggle with these things. Happy for you! Also happy late birthday!
Big thunder is such a launching point for so many when it comes to roller coasters and even as an adult it’s so much fun to ride. It only goes like 25 miles per hour tops 😂
For any first-timers who are interested in this ride, I went here on my trip to California around a year ago, and I gotta say, this ride was definitely my favourite one. It’s such a small rollercoaster, but the intensity levels are skyrocketing when you’re actually riding it. As a person who used to be very anxious about rollercoasters in general, I would say that the scariest part of the whole thing is the minor drop at 2:04, just because it feels like you’re about to hit your head at any given moment, and the pressure from the big turn it puts on your body feels a bit weird, but other than that, it is probably one of the best and most classic rides in the park.
No, it is definitely not bad at all! Yes, it’s definitely fast and a bit jerky, but there are no actual very large drops, like classic rollercoasters. It is very fun, and oh, for the anxiety aspect of it and the goat part, just hang on tight and close your eyes if you even want, because it is over very fast!@@vicentenunez9390 I believe in you! Have fun ^_^
This is my favorite ride at Disneyland and this is coming from someone who is also very anxious about serious coasters. One thing I like about Thunder Mountain is that that drops after the inclines are never super steep. They always ramp up gradually before they go further down. In my opinion, don’t expect to be scared, just expect to have a whole lot of fun.
Yes this ride is the best there! I have a tradition where I wear my big thunder mountain railroad shirt and magic band on the last day! its amazing but what is sad is because it is more than 40 years old its really starting to break down a lot it breaks my heart :(
My sons first thrill ride. In home in Australia he doesn’t meet the required height. But because they use the British imperial system in America they round it off higher and he qualifies
This was closed when I went last week so I couldn't get the credit. Like not all day, but just when I went it closed due to some weather concerns and didn't reopen that day.
i’m kinda scared to try out this ride when i go to disneyland next month. whenever i go to an amusement park for a field trip or with friends i usually chicken out on the bigger rides. i went to knott’s a couple weeks ago and the scariest ride i went on was jaguar… it’s not even the fact that i’m scared of rollercoasters, i actually just hate the stomach-dropping feeling. but sometimes i really wish i didn’t because most of my friends love big drops, and it’s usually just me and a couple others who are stuck waiting in line with our less-wimpy friends. it kinda sucks, never getting to go on the bigger rides.
update: as a wimp, this ride was SUPER fun! the drops are very small and it’a not too fast. on the other hand, space mountain was a bit too much for me. it can get pretty jerky and it seems super fast while having sharp turns.
I’m so super scared of rollercoasters , ( I’m 11) and I’m trying to go to Disney for my birthday with a friend and family and i so wanna overcome this fear of this coaster . I’ve been on this coaster before but I don’t like the feeling it has like my stomach feels super weird and I feel like ima fly out
Hey guys I’m going to Disneyland soon and I’m scared of roller coasters and I want to go on a tame one which one is the best starter matahorn or thunder mountain
materhorn for sure! it doesnt have drops and it usually just glides sideways, which doesnt feel the stomach drop feeling. its a little dark at the start but i assure you theres no hidden drops or anything, it always isnt that bad you got this
Dude I was so scared of coasters and this was my first one. This is the best coaster to go on! The drops are not big and they go by quick. I just love how fast it goes! This ride is focused on speed.
Do they amp up this ride at night?? I rode it right before close and it felt like one of the most intense rides I ever rode. I'm looking at this video and the ladies hair barely moved...when I felt like I couldn't even reach over to grasp my son it was so fast and intense. It was crazy! It was fun though....but wow
In general, roller coasters tend to be a bit faster when they're warmed up. The grease in the bearings actually becomes less viscous, which means less resistance. So especially on warmer days, they tend to warm up over the course of the day and can therefore be faster in the evening. It's of course not a huge difference, but it can be noticable and make 4 or 5 seconds of difference in the ride duration. The weight of the riders can also influence the speed, more weight means more momentum. But apart from these things, I doubt they change anything about the ride's speed.
one time i was in this ride and when it was the giant goat hill (yk the one with the goat BAAA and then we drop) it stopped and my older brother yelled “ARE YOU SHITTIN ME” lol
We were there yesterday and got 4 rider in. The 2 at night seem to be hauling ass especially arounf the helix. I noticed something while waiting in line. When the train comes down by the dinosaur skellington and makes the sharp right into the brake run. The wheel is comes off the rails and makes a sounds. Was concerning.
If ur wondering thunder mountain is not bad at all! No drops but maybe some hills but like not really, not super dark, it is fast I may say and it lasts for atleast 1/2 minutes and is totally worth it! I am horrified of hills/ drops but I recommend this one, Definitely not space mountain tho! ( only if u are horrified of drops ) it has 2 huge drops and u cannot see what’s gonna happen only if it’s light inside, it is pretty fast but if u hate drops I do not recommend, and if u like drops that one is for u. But if u like drops but not in dark than I don’t really recommend! I do rlly recommend cars thoo >>
okay this is so strange- i've been on space mountain before, and before i went on it i was TERRIFIED, sweating, and panicking but after the ride i wanted to go on again. but the thing is, i also hate drops, i can't stand them. i've never been on big thunder before but seeing those screams, it seemed more scary than space mountain-
@@aeryni thunder mountain is SOO GOOD!! NO HILLS OR DROPS AT ALL- MAYBE LIKE ONE THATS LIKE SOO SOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOO SMALL BUT NOTHING ELSE! IF U LIKE FAST THAN GO IN THE BACK - IF U DONT GO IN THE FRONT!
This is my first ever REAL roller coaster ride and as someone afraid of both HEIGHTS and ROLLER COASTERS, this was an absolute banger! Not too many high drops and not too overwhelming. Just perfect!
This was my first coaster too! I was so scared but enjoyed it and went on it again at night - so good!
same here!
that must mean im a coward then lmao i was screaming like crazy on this. i was 8 tho so maybe thats why
@@MARVEL_KING1114first time I went on it I was 5
me too
as somebody who absolutely cannot stand medium-sized drops this would be pretty fun. I like that the drops are pretty subtle and there aren't many drops.
can I ask, how would you rate this compared to the drops on the Cars ride or like Space Mountain ?
@@oliviareyes8872 10. Space Mountain and the Cars ride are too much for me lol
@@oliviareyes8872as someone who absolutely HATES drops, I hate the drops on Cars. I’ve never been on Space Mountain so can’t say, but the “drops” in this ride are barely noticeable imo
I hate drops but at magic mountain I went on Twisted Colossus, which has the steepest drop in the whole park
YES OMG FAX@@insideratorr
Love this coaster. Especially since it was the first one I rode.
I feel the same way. About your mom.

@@AquaKeyBlade98 thank you ! I’m glad I’m not the only one 🤗🤗🤗
Awww just reading your review so glad you enjoyed it. I’m not a big fan of rollercoasters either and was thinking about riding this one 😅
Big thunder is such a launching point for so many when it comes to roller coasters and even as an adult it’s so much fun to ride. It only goes like 25 miles per hour tops 😂
I believe the top speed is 35
35*** but yeah it’s great
Too fast for me lol
Nothing wrong with that speed if the turns are tight and the ride is smooth with some ejector elements.
The wildest ride in the WIIILLLDDDEEERRNNEESS!!
I'm so ready to go back to my happy place. 2023 has been hard and 2022 was horrible too
hopefully you’re doing alright now 😎
Such a beautiful ride from start to finish

What do you mean about “intensity levels are skyrocketing” is it bad? Please answer I wanna ride this soon but I’m scared
Also what I’m really nervous about is the goat part because I don’t know it’s just that steep side hill I don’t know how to explain
Please answer 😢

That corkscrew surprises me every time. I always forget it's coming until I'm halfway in it. Such a fun ride.
Corkscrew?
Thunder mountain is to slow for any inversions
I fell in love with this ride at Disney World. I recently went to Disneyland and rode this three times. I ❤ this ride!
Thank you for the view. It is helpful because I am going soon.
Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this train mountain coaster ride at Disneyland!!!!!!!!! The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!
I love you thunder mountain! Especially when it stops at just the right part to make it look like the track blew up
my favorite ride ❤❤❤ can't wait to go back
Yes this ride is the best there! I have a tradition where I wear my big thunder mountain railroad shirt and magic band on the last day! its amazing but what is sad is because it is more than 40 years old its really starting to break down a lot it breaks my heart :(
3:26 was the exact moment that I screamed to the band director and the chaperones that I had just gone on my first roller coaster
In the mountain's way out west, chugs a mighty little train.
Currently waiting for my family to get off Matterhorn and willing to ride this next lolol thanks for the experience everyone shared in their comments
The noise of the chains is insane
LOVE THIS RIDE, JUST WENT ON RN!!!
Was it intense or anything? I’ve been on cars, but not thunder mountain
@JebediahKerman554 if you can handle cars you can handle thunder mountain‼️ the turns are kinda intense but it's fun
Is Thunder more fast and intense or space mountain?
@@vicentenunez9390im super late but space is definitely far more intense cause its indoor,dark, and feels like ur going way faster than u actually are
My favorite ride all be there tomorrow can't wait
This ride was so fun when I went on it😊
This was the first ride I rode and I loved it so much I rode it 6 times😂
So like I went on this and was in the very back. I got some motion sickness. Is it better to be more up front?
I got to ride that on this October, what a wild west ride 🎢
Do you have to hold the camera by hand, or do they allow you to clamp it to the grab bar on the train?
Judging by shakiness at 2:30 they have still hands and grip the camera tight
I was wondering what happen to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - it was only roller coaster missing from you Disneyland trip.
Somehow forgot to upload it at the time and didn't notice it until recently.
3840x2026p is 5K ?
I love that ride
God I wish I was there right now the best coaster at Disney
You and Me BOTH
Your opinion but to me I like lots of roller coasters better at disney than this one, still it’s your opinion but I do like this ride!
One of the best rides in the park ! Love this ride at night
My sons first thrill ride. In home in Australia he doesn’t meet the required height. But because they use the British imperial system in America they round it off higher and he qualifies
I saw you guys at mount Olympus in June 2022 and saw you guys recording, just wondering, when will you upload those videos?
2:25 the timing is crazy
My Favorit! 👍😃
Like this "favorite."
Originally that ride used to be Rainbow Caverns until someone put a Big Thundering Mountain on top of it!
I coulda gone on this yesterday but it got shut off earlyyy😭
I wonder why they paused on the last lift hill if they could just wait on the final brake run. Unless it was occupied too?
This was closed when I went last week so I couldn't get the credit. Like not all day, but just when I went it closed due to some weather concerns and didn't reopen that day.

2:32 Why did the train stop?
To wait for a wheelchair load. You can see it to the right when the train returns to the station.
Indiana jones coaster and thunder mountan are my favorite coasters! Good ones to start at too.
Indiana jonesand big thunder are good and fun ones

As someone who absolutely hates drops, even small ones, would this be ok for me to ride?!
No , it has medium drops which I wouldn’t recommend for you.

8/10 not that bad.. 🫤
