When a Disney attraction is closed, oftentimes, this can cause quite the backup and crowding of Guests in the area.
Today at Disneyland Paris, there are quite a few attractions that are temporarily closed, or under refurbishment. The attractions which are under refurbishment were among the few that Guests were expecting to see shut down; however, when a ride closed unexpectedly for maintenance issues that must be fixed, you many have a much more confused crowd.

Below, we can see that Pixie Dust (@Pixiedust_be) shared a photo of what the ride, Big Thunder Mountain, looks like right now. As we can see, Cast Members are blocking the entrance to BTM as large crowds circle in attempt to enter the queue. The attraction likely has a lot of Premier Access Guests confused as they may have purchased a return time for the attraction earlier in the day.
Big Thunder Mountain: the Wildest Ride in the West Climb steep heights and dive below raging waterfalls in this family-friendly, rattling race in a speeding mine cart.
In Big Thunder Mountain you board a mysterious train deep in the heart of a legendary mountain for a thrilling journey of dips and sharp turns beneath Rivers of the Far West and around a ghostly mining town.
Fire in the Hole! As you plummet through the darkness along a dynamite-littered track, a huge explosion shakes the cavern. But the train doesn’t slow up, hurtling you onwards amid the rumbling sounds of a falling mineshaft. Bats swoop. The tracks shake. A river rages above. Will you make it out alive?
