  • Big Thunder Mountain Re-Opening Day and More

    Hello at all, here is the article of the day dedicated to the reopening of Big Thunder Mountain, but also at the Boot Hill, the Riverboat Landing and the Indians Village … in any case, we can say that we have here, the reopening of Frontierland.

    To start the day with some emotions, what better than a reopening ceremony? For this, Daniel Delcourt, Deputy CEO of Disneyland Paris, comes back on its 13 months of effort to burnish the Big Thunder Mountain and make Frontierland a nugget that shines grace of Disney employees. Then, Mickey and Minnie Mouse accompanies Mr. Delcourt in the cutting of the Ribbon symbolizing the reopening of THE attraction of the Land, and maybe the Park!

    Big Thunder Mountain, what else than what we wrote yesterday? Reminder

    After more than 13 months of renovation the result is stunning! All props, animated or not, are back. And the adventure is even more epic due to the explosive final of the ride. The cleaned, repainted and colourful mountain looks better than ever with new vegetation and effects fully reviewed. The theme of the whole ride has been strengthened for our biggest pleasure!

    For the reopening, we are among the first to experience for the wildest ride in the wilderness… in the sunrise ! For the first visitors of the morning, they receive a surprise by Disney employees, a Thunder Mesa newspaper to mark the occasion.

    A little detour after the Big Thunder Mountain, the tanks of CO² for the smoke effects inside the attraction are now hidden behind a new hut. The result is striking, we have the impression that like it was always there!

    Go to the Thunder Mesa Riverboat Landing for a cruise on the river of the Far West.

    Here too, the efforts were considerable. All has have been redone, work on the mountain is simply remarkable as the highlight of the show, the geysers. What to say … grandiose? Amazing? We can’t say in front of this wonderful quality of execution and the return of effects… more than 10 years after their disappearance. We discover all details, all elemments, all the geysers… For the visitors and us the experience is more enriched!

    Finally, to finish our visit to Frontierland, we offer a last video to resume the experience on the spot, between the launch of the first train on the Big Thunder Mountain, the discovery of the geysers of the Riverboat Landing and the atmosphere of the Land!

    After all the excitement, what better than a lunch at VaPiano at the Disney Village? We’ll still succumb to their Italian cuisine in this modern and chic setting to our delight. Come on Discover.
