Get ready, thrill-seekers! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Walt Disney World is undergoing a major transformation, and the latest updates are showing some exciting progress. Since our last check-in, the iconic coaster has seen new scaffolding pop up, hinting at the next phase of its refurbishment.
New Scaffolding Signals Progress
Remember those construction walls that expanded recently? Well, now, a fresh scaffolding structure is clearly visible near the loading stations. This indicates that the Imagineers are hard at work on the guest-accessible areas of the mountain.
A Golden Milestone
Walt Disney World recently marked a significant achievement with a golden spike ceremony, a nod to the traditional practices of American railroad construction, celebrating the completion of the completely rebuilt steel track. This is a big deal because it signifies that the core structural work is nearing completion.
What's New?
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been closed for about a year while Imagineers have been giving the classic ride a complete makeover. The coaster will feature new ride vehicles, refreshed Audio-Animatronics, gold props, and an updated Rainbow Caverns opening scene.
When Can You Ride It Again?
The reimagined Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is scheduled to reopen this spring. Get ready to experience this classic attraction in a whole new way!
