If you are heading to Magic Kingdom today, you may not be able to ride one of the most popular coasters that the park has to offer!
At Disney World, it is quite common to see attractions close down during park hours due to mechanical or operational issues. Typically, in situations where the attraction temporarily closes and was not scheduled for a refurbishment, Guests can see the attraction reopen shortly. Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress and The Haunted Mansion have both experienced situations like this recently.
If you want to hop on the wildest train in the wilderness today, be sure to keep yourself in the loop with the My Disney Experience app, which will update the attraction’s closure and opening status accordingly.
The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness Legend has it that soon after gold was first discovered here in the 1850s, eerie things began to happen. Trains would take off and race through tunnels—by themselves.
After you arrive at the legendary Big Thunder Mining Company, descend into an abandoned mine shaft and board your train. As you enter the cursed cavern, the engine speeds up along the rickety track. Dodge exploding dynamite and falling boulders as you swoop around turns, drop into canyons and dart through the mysterious ghost town of Tumbleweed.
Your rip-roaring adventure proves that some legends are true. You’re sure to have a real blast!
