The Magic Kingdom’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closed for the entire year, leaving us wondering, "Why such a lengthy shutdown?"
Disney World often undertakes long-term projects and refurbishments, and sometimes it's years before we see the final result. With Big Thunder Mountain Railroad closed for a year, some speculate it's due to the anticipated Villains Land construction nearby. However, history suggests there could be more reasons for this extended closure.
Disneyland's version of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was closed for over a year from January 2013 to March 2014, with major enhancements like a new track and pyrotechnics. Magic Kingdom’s ride might follow this pattern to match or surpass Disneyland’s upgraded experience. The lengthy closure might be a chance to bring new thrills to this beloved attraction.
If Magic Kingdom's Thunder Mountain returns with significant upgrades, it’ll make the wait worthwhile, even if we miss riding it every visit.
