Big Thunder Mountain: A Ride for Thrill Seekers

Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland Paris is one of the top rides of the park. This mine train rollercoaster is located on an island in the middle of the lake in Frontierland. The rocky island was inspired by Monument Valley in Arizona and the natural arches of the Zion National Park.

Guests board the trains on the mainland, after leaving the station, the train dives into the underwater tunnels over to the island. The rollercoaster reaches a maximum speed of 58 km/h (36 mph) and takes around 3:56 minutes, height requirements are 102 cm (40").

We are a family of five from Belgium with a deep passion for exploring Europe together. Traveling is more than just a hobby for us, it’s a way of life. Whether we’re hitting the road by car, sailing across the sea, or discovering new places by any means possible, we love the journey just as much as the destination. Our adventures take us to both well-known landmarks and hidden gems. From iconic European cities to quiet, off-the-beaten-path locations, we enjoy experiencing the full diversity that Europe has to offer. We believe that the best travel stories come from a mix of classic destinations and unexpected discoveries. Through our travels, we aim to share inspiration, practical tips, and authentic experiences to help others explore Europe in their own way.
