Disney’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is in Frontierland and opened November 15, 1980.

It is a runaway mine train that rolls across the top of the mesa modeled after Monument Valley in Arizona. It opened in the Magic Kingdom on September 23, 1980. There are six trains that run at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. They are U.B. Bold, I.M. Fearless, U.R. Daring, I.B. Hearty, U.R. Courageous, and I.M. Brave. The ride queue has guests climb up a hill to the station building. The path consists of old mining equipment including crates of explosives called: “Widowmaker Explosives” and “Lytum and Hyde Explosive Company.”
