food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom is changing big time!
Cinderella Castle
A new Villains Land is in development, Cars Land is about to begin construction, and a few of our favorite attractions are getting some TLC! Big Thunder Mountain has been closed for months, and we are FINALLY getting a look at the updates coming to the classic attraction. Let’s check out this wild ride!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closed
This popular ride in Disney World will be closed for at least a year, reopening sometime in 2026 with a “little bit of new magic.” If you wanted to ride it one last time, you were able to do so on Sunday, January 5th, but now you will have to wait at least a year before hopping on “The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” once again. With the closure, we noticed Disney made another small but impactful change at Magic Kingdom!
Take a look at this stunning horizon. The iconic Big Thunder Mountain stands tall in the background, and we see not a cloud in the sky. What a beautiful Florida day!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Well…that’s not the case anymore. During a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, we spotted something new on the Frontierland horizon, and you might not like it.
A super popular ride has been temporarily closed in Magic Kingdom. If you wanted to take a ride on the “wildest ride in the wilderness,” you may have been out of luck recently! But we’ve got some good news, dear readers.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
If you’re brave enough to take on Disney’s roller coasters, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad may be the ride for you! This fan-favorite attraction takes you up, down, and all around — it’s like you’re riding a runaway train out West. But the ride has been temporarily closed for a few days for some routine updates and refurbishments.
Guess who’s back?
Frontierland
Disney World rides shut down for maintenance all the time, and while we hate to see them go, sometimes these rides need a bit of upkeep to make sure they’re in perfect condition. Plus, we get to celebrate when they come back. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad fans rejoice; the iconic attraction is back!
