Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (HD POV Front) Magic Kingdom, Orlando Florida

Posted on

Check out this On-Ride, Front Seat POV of the Big Thunder at Magic Kingdom Roller Coaster in Orlando, Florida. Length: 2780' Inversions: 0 Speed: 36 mph Duration: 3:30 Elements: Lift Hill, Lift Hill, Lift Hill At the Magic Kingdom, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is almost an identical mirror image of the Disneyland version, except for having an enclosed loading station on a hillside, the replacement of Big Thunder with Tumbleweed, and altered section of layout before the second lift hill. In this version, upon entering the queue, guests make their way up the hillside past old mining equipment to the station building. Once inside, the queue snakes through the upper level of the two level station. Guests can view a panorama of the ride. The queue then travels down a gradual ramp, switchbacks, and reaches the loading station. After a wait, guests enter the 30-45 passenger trains. On the signal of a flashing green lantern at the head end of the platform, the train is clear to leave the station. Leaving the station, the trains immediately enter a dark tunnel and make a tight left hand turn. After a short straightaway during which the sounds of bats can be heard, the trains make a slight right hand turn and climb the first lift hill. A series of caverns can be seen on the right hand side of the lift hill track. At the top, once again, it slows down and riders make a drop away to the left, before making a right hand turn and going over two hops while passing under the second lift ...
