0:53
year for Big Thunder Mountain to be open

so this will be my last ride Big Thunder
0:58
Mountain Railroad
1:00
assuming the weight times are decent
1:03
enough where I can get in line and get
1:04
on there and then I'm going to see how
1:06
hectic and busy and what a cluster you
1:09
know what
1:10
is at the end of the holiday season at
1:14
Magic Kingdom the weight times are I'm
1:16
pretty sure they going to be
1:16
astronomical join
1:19
me feeling it here join me that was hot
1:24
shall you heading under the archway
1:27
actually this will be my first visit to
1:29
the Disney parks for
1:32
2025 this is a roundabout way of getting
1:35
in the park for the sole
1:38
goal getting on Big Thunder Mountain for
1:41
the last time for
1:42
me of
1:44
2025 my first visit to the parks in
1:47
2025 and we'll be on my last ride on
1:50
Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain
1:53
Railroad in 2025 but in order to get in
1:57
there got to scan it Epcot first there's
2:00
a tow truck right over there that that's
2:01
interesting it's like 12:30 right now
2:04
parked over here at Dory
2:07
415 that's Dory
2:10
115 I could take the tram look how far
2:13
out I am though all the way they haven't
2:15
started filling in the other
2:17
side parked way out here I'm just going
2:18
to
2:23
walk maybe I can take the
2:23
tra why not now I'm going to walk if
2:27
your party has not crossed over those
2:28
white pools please would so as we're
2:30
calling for no further boarding at this
2:32
time for no further boarding we'll have
2:35
to wait for next sister's ter or just
2:38
walk
2:49
dri 9. 9 is that
2:49
bar can anywhere
2:52
the and since your friends did Park out
2:55
in the Dory parking lot that was Dory
2:56
4:14 or 4:15 in case we have for now the
3:01
time
3:02
now will
3:04
a the last rning until
3:20
11 all right I am officially all scanned
3:20
in giving myself a cheers underneath
3:22
spaceship earth I made the mistake of
3:23
going up to top of the montal platform
3:25
and I was getting ready to head over to
3:27
TTC and then I realized you know what I
3:28
haven't scanned in yet yet so had to
3:30
walk all the way back down missing that
3:32
mon rail but I had to make sure I
3:34
scanned in so I am now officially
3:36
scanned in with my magic band and now go
3:38
back to get either on the monil or the
3:40
bus over to MC this hairbrained idea to
3:43
head over to the bus area went back
3:45
outside of security checkpoints over to
3:47
the bus area think I'll just take the
3:49
bus and avoid TTC completely and then I
3:51
realize nope there is no bus from Epcot
3:55
to Transportation Ticket Center or Magic
3:57
Kingdom so you only can take the mon
4:00
rail so I'm now walking back out to my
4:02
car and I'm going to drive over to
4:05
transportation and tiet Center until
4:08
9:00 p.m. so that means your final
4:09
opportunity get ride back out to your
4:10
car will be 10 I thought the buses went
4:13
over there you know what the it's all
4:14
part of the experience I still got I
4:16
still got I got all day have gone back
4:18
through the checkpoints got got in line
4:20
for another mon rail to go over to
4:21
Transportation Ticket Center and then
4:22
get off that one walk down the ramp go
4:24
back up get on another one over to Magic
4:27
Kingdom I just decided I'm going to
4:28
drive over to Magic Kingdom do what I
4:30
normally do and just park there and go
4:34
over to MK that way funny thing is it's
4:36
about 2 minutes until 1 p.m. at 2 p.m.
4:39
you can park hop on weekdays and since
4:41
today is a weekday Friday can park into
4:43
any can go into any of the parks I
4:46
should say not Park out but just go into
4:47
any of the parks at 2 p.m. if you have
4:49
an annual pass which I do so if I just
4:51
waited till 2: and rolled over to Magic
4:53
Kingdom I could have avoided all this
4:55
but I thought I'd get in there a little
4:57
bit
4:58
early great
5:00
thankfully I'm able to go today because
5:02
I was checking just for the heck of it
5:04
Disneyland reservations holy cow there
5:06
are like none for like the next two
5:08
weeks take a look at this if you were at
5:10
Disneyland I have the Inspire key if I
5:13
was out there trying to book I couldn't
5:16
book anything till the 13th like there's
5:18
no way I even get in today no Park
5:20
hopping no DCA no
5:24
Disneyland wild so at least here you
5:26
could snag something throughout the
5:28
course of the day and Par cop over or at
5:30
two you know 59 minutes from now if
5:32
you're a passholder just scan right in
5:36
here's the temperature where I'm going
5:36
to be going not too much not too far
5:38
from Epcot but over at Magic can
5:40
64° sunset at
5:43
534 it's going to dip down a little
5:45
cooler than that throughout the course
5:46
of the day feels good haven't looked at
5:48
the weight times for Magic Kingdom since
5:50
this morning curious to see what they're
5:52
at now especially at two when all the
5:55
passholders scan
5:56
in I mean it's a capacity now the
5:59
reservations are at
6:01
capacity but I can imagine it too when
6:04
all the annual passholders are allowed
6:05
in it's going to even get busier and I'm
6:08
one of them too I'm I'm I'm one of the
6:09
pass now that I'm thinking about it the
6:11
smartest thing would have been to go
6:12
ahead and park over here at
6:13
Transportation Ticket Center take the
6:16
Montreal over to Epcot scan in then get
6:18
back on the Montreal and come back over
6:20
I think I'm overthinking this yeah if I
6:22
have done
6:23
that and it's a good thing here that I'm
6:25
going to be at the end of the end of my
6:27
day here I don't have to go all the way
6:29
back over to got so I think I'm making
6:30
the right
6:32
choice actually no choice is the wrong
6:35
choice because either way I'm going in
6:39
322 not sure which character that is but
6:42
322 take a little shortcut around this
6:44
little BM that I hope one day becomes a
6:48
platform for the
6:50
Skyliner yeah one can dream I hear
7:00
it through the trees
7:00
the pine trees and the
7:02
swamps there
7:04
goes the monter that's the one going
7:07
from Epcot I decided to park over
7:10
here go this Direction all about choices
7:14
and I get to see Heavy Metal Mickey
7:16
which I would not have seen but I stayed
7:18
on said monil so Hello heavy metal
7:22
Mickey good afternoon everybody and

orang all right Mella orange I'm
7:49
off also you can't even buy a ticket
7:51
today so even if you're trying to buy a
7:52
ticket sold out it looks like I'm going
7:55
to be getting in the park around 1:30
7:56
it's 126 right now get ready to a
7:59
crossing crossing the streams of the
8:14
monals still going to get in there a
8:14
half hour
8:15
before 2m. com they clear the doors at
8:18
all times not any specific time at all
8:23
times sometimes it's very cramped in
8:26
here though that you have to stand next
8:27
to the doors could never lean against
8:30
the
8:38
doors all right going out I collected my
8:38
belongings it is now
8:46
130 1:30 entering at 131 here I leave
8:46
today and enter the world of yesterday
8:47
tomorrow and fantasy in a circular
8:51
circular form not rectangle like the
8:54
entryway into Disneyland which says the
8:56
exact same thing but different different
8:58
signage but same wording there it is Big
9:01
Thunder Mount railroad climb aboard
9:03
hanging on for the wildest ride in the
9:05
wilderness only a couple more days left
9:08
before it closes for the entire rest of
9:10
the year 2025 and then partial 2026
9:13
getting a peak down Main Street looks
9:15
looks pretty hectic but not too too
9:17
hectic I checked the weight times
9:18
momentarily but first popping in after
9:21
right as I look towards the castle on
9:22
Main Street popping into the Emporium
9:25
over here check out some of the
9:27
merchandise in the Emporium or some new
9:30
colorful items all along here got a
9:33
little Mickey I'm not actually to be
9:35
honest I'm not sure if this is new but
9:36
the color red if I've seen the the red
9:39
color also yeah I got to keep reminding
9:42
myself that it is
9:44
2025 isn't that wild isn't that so crazy
9:49
that it is now
9:51
2025 it has been 25 years a quarter of a
9:56
century since Y2K what in the name of
9:59
heck is time where's time going that is
10:02
a sweet magnet right there right okay at
10:06
137 checking the wait times here looks
10:09
like it's an hour and 15 minute wait for
10:11
Big Thunder I kind of that's kind of
10:13
what I expected 75 minutes for pirates
10:16
though yeah I'm if I'm going to wait 75
10:17
minutes for something it's definitely
10:18
going to be big one of the last days of
10:20
big CER mountain is open 50 minutes for
10:23
Jingle Cruise cuz they still still have
10:25
the Christmas stuff up here for a few
10:27
more days 60 minutes from man
10:30
Manion let's see Tron which is now
10:33
standby 5 minute shy of 2
10:37
hours 75 minutes for Space Mountain
10:40
Space
10:41
Mountain but really I have my sight set
10:44
on
10:46
this a minut it to win it this is some
10:49
merchandise that just came out this is
10:50
more like springtime summer it's is like
10:52
a summer shirt I don't know if it's like
10:54
a New Year's shirt but I like this right
10:56
here I might have I like blue shirts
10:59
there's also this Fanny
11:03
package right
11:09
here and there's also this
11:09
little well not little but there's also
11:12
this windbreaker here which is cute here
11:15
going to show this little scale model of
11:16
the castle and then I'm going to walk
11:17
down Main Street again and look at a
11:19
little close view at the real castle as
11:22
I walk right down the middle Main Street
11:25
USA Castle here is just about two times
11:27
the size of the one in California
11:29
Disneyland's castle not exactly I mean
11:32
it's a little little bit over and under
11:34
of the the twice the size but let's just
11:36
call it twice the size might be like 40%
11:39
of the size or
11:40
60% of the size Disneylands I mean
11:43
versus this one so let's just say twice
11:44
the size if you're looking at both the
11:47
castles two different Castles all right
11:50
this is crowds in Frontier land right
11:53
there you can hear the Liberty Bell off
11:56
in the distance all right it's now 148 I
11:58
was looking at lightning Lane perhaps
12:00
now the wait time for Big Thunder is now
12:03
up to 85 minutes the next multipass
12:06
experience which is the new version of
12:07
lightning Lane is at 305 but it's also
12:12
$35 to purchase that to even take a
12:15
chance that you could get on it in an
12:16
hour and 15 minutes or I could just get
12:18
in line and be on it by the time I would
12:21
pay $35 to just get on it there's the
12:23
confirmation $35 lightning Lane
12:25
multipass for $35 Magic Kingdom per
12:28
guest
12:30
and that would get me to the front of
12:32
the lightning Lane
12:34
line I don't
12:37
know and that the thing is I'm worried
12:39
if I was to to pay the 35 like what
12:42
happens if it's later than 305 like what
12:44
if it's like what if it's all like some
12:46
kind of a a trick it's going to be like
12:47
9:00 at night or something it's gracious
12:49
this is the line 85 minute line right
12:52
here there's the cast members with the
12:55
sides oh wow what do I want to do he the
13:00
35 take a
13:02
chance maybe I will maybe I'll just pay
13:04
the 35 this is interesting so by paying
13:06
the 35 I can choose three lightning Lane
13:09
experiences for my party the party is me
13:12
which would be Big Thunder Mountain
13:13
Railroad but take a look I would I
13:15
wouldn't even be able to add jungle
13:16
cruise in Peter Pan's flight on there
13:18
Space Mountain on there or Tiana's on
13:20
there maybe because it's later in the
13:22
day or maybe they're just not available
13:24
but if I wanted to I could go on Small
13:26
World buzzle out your Dumbo man tea
13:29
party which I've done many many times
13:31
and usually don't have much of a weight
13:33
I'm not really interested too much in
13:34
doing those even Mansions so like yeah I
13:37
can see it maybe if I could get on
13:38
Mansion but even Mansion is unavailable
13:41
so I'm going be paying $35 to possibly
13:43
get on in an hour I have to wait an hour
13:46
and 5 minutes to possibly do a 305 for
13:50
Big Thunder Mountain
13:52
Railroad or do I just wait the just wait
13:55
in the regular line that's kind of what
13:56
I'm leaning towards at least that way I
13:58
get the experience of waiting in the
14:00
regular line instead of coffin up 35
14:01
just to take a chance on getting on in a
14:04
couple hours I mean it could be just
14:06
because it's the holiday crowds or it
14:07
also could be because it is the final
14:10
days of this ride for the next year here
14:13
at Magic Kingdom or could just people
14:14
want to get on the wildest ride in the
14:17
wilderness it's probably a combination
14:20
it's probably a combination of
14:22
everything but it stretches all down the
14:23
bridge here also at 3:00 there is a
14:26
festival of fantasy parade there a lot
14:28
of people will get out line to watch
14:29
fireworks they might get out of line to
14:32
to watch the parade so maybe I could
14:34
kind of bet on that as being maybe it'll
14:36
go from 85 down to an hour or do I just
14:39
get in line now all decisions might just
14:41
wait a little bit let me just kind of
14:43
soak it in try to feel feel the vibe out
14:45
and kind of see maybe if this will
14:47
dissipate see how it is in another half
14:49
hour which I don't think it's going to
14:51
dissipate too much but give us some
14:52
thoughts interesting after this reopens
14:54
it would have probably already started
14:56
on the villains landb the what's behind
14:59
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney
15:00
World announcements on the d23 which are
15:03
going to stretch back all over
15:05
there cuz this thing is going to be
15:07
closed for a while I don't believe that
15:08
being closed has anything to do with the
15:11
what's behind Big Thunder Mountain
15:13
Railroad but you never know like I don't
15:15
even know why it's closing down I'm not
15:18
sure but it is thing I do know however
15:20
for the last couple
15:23
years at least for the last year also
15:26
there's my shadow waving at myself these
15:27
geysers have not been working for a
15:30
while there's a good place to get a
15:32
photo it's known as the photo
15:35
spot I should get a photo here
15:37
document for
15:40
posterity the end of Big Thunder
15:42
Mountain Railroad for all 2025 even
15:44
though 2025 just started got the little
15:48
boats going over time soyer Island right
15:52
over there that'll be this will be going
15:54
away in the not so distant
15:57
future I should that's the most people
15:59
I've seen on time s island it's so long
16:03
oh my gosh they have two oh wow this is
16:06
something look at this I have not seen
16:08
the canoe not canoes but the boats go
16:11
over to that
16:13
side of
16:15
the to this thing the Mike Fink spot
16:18
well this is the mik Fink spot right
16:20
here so you got the mik F's
16:26
boats but the windmill I was Wonder know
16:26
why I'm drawing a blank on the word
16:27
windmill but usually they don't go over
16:29
there they usually just load over here
16:31
but it's so busy today that you have two
16:34
different
16:35
spots this is very rare this is very
16:38
rare to see one of the boats pull up
16:40
over
16:42
there I get excited when something is
16:44
different because a lot of times it's
16:46
just kind of everything's par for the
16:47
course very deep s
16:49
trombone 2011 now I thought you know
16:52
what let me look into the let me look
16:54
into doing the the lightning Lan
16:56
multipass they're all gone no more
16:59
multipass experiences for Big Thunder
17:01
Mountain Railroad however it has dipped
17:03
down to 50 minutes what the heck is
17:05
going on 50 minutes now we went from 85
17:07
to 50 and no lightning line this is all
17:10
very very confusing all right so looks
17:12
like it's going to be standby for me I
17:14
can do 50 85 is a little uh little
17:17
little much but 50 I have no problem
17:19
waiting 50 minutes for one of my
17:21
favorite attractions on both Coast
17:24
especially since I'm not going to be
17:25
able to ride this thing the rest of the
17:26
year a that wild to even think about
17:28
either that the wildest idea in the
17:31
wilderness I don't know where I was
17:33
going with that all right there's the
17:34
river boat rivers of America there okay
17:37
the line has dissipated just a little
17:39
bit not a whole lot but they have
17:42
changed the their tune of 85 minutes to
17:46
50 minutes which really is not a big
17:48
deal at all 50 minutes you have the sign
17:52
right there staing s 50 minutes give it
17:56
a few more moments I might go walk
17:59
around for just a little bit I'm going
18:00
to see it's 2:05 now I'm going to wait
18:02
till about
18:04
230 to make my decision I'm going to
18:07
wait till 2:30 to make my decision it
18:09
dissipates is the word of the day if it
18:12
dissipates less than less than 50
18:15
minutes who knows if that's even
18:17
accurate cuz it was like it's like 25
18:19
people less than the 85 minute weight so
18:21
I don't know you can't you you just got
18:23
to you just got to got to pull the cord
18:26
and get in line just see what happens
18:27
it's all part of the experience kind of
18:29
interesting that the final days just so
18:30
happen to be on the basically the
18:33
biggest most packed holiday time frame
18:36
of the Year people still here from
18:38
Christmas and into New Year's parks are
18:40
capacity you can't even buy single
18:42
tickets you can't even you know you
18:43
can't book a reservation if you're a
18:45
passholder without doing the park
18:46
hopping thing because they were kind of
18:47
Gone by The End by the beginning of the
18:49
day or the end of the day or beforehand
18:52
had to do the whole Epcot first and then
18:53
park over here
18:56
thing but it just makes it more of a
18:58
challenge to do Big Thunder before it
19:00
closes for the entire year during the
19:03
busiest days that there are known to man
19:06
in the Parks right over there got to
19:09
make my decision here in a few minutes
19:11
and beside what I'm doing all right it's
19:14
226 60 minute wait they're saying so
19:17
I've gotten in line and I got
19:20
a a little refillable popcorn bucket
19:24
here not sure if this is a new year
19:26
popcorn bucket but the most magical
19:28
place on Earth with a long weights all
19:30
right there is the 225 is when I got in
19:33
a minute later 226 start chowing down on
19:36
this popcorn and Tim in this out all
19:38
right shifting over here
19:42
now shifting everybody over this
19:50
direction Le I got popcorn and D water I
19:50
got the line stretching down that
19:51
direction but I think something is wrong
19:54
because the line has stopped moving for
19:55
the last 5
19:57
minutes already
19:59
goed a little bit of that
20:02
so I don't know why the line sto moving
20:10
now know truthfully I don't even mind
20:10
waiting in line over in Frontier land
20:12
there are worse ways to spend the day
20:14
than waiting in line in Frontier land
20:16
love it over in here and it's moving
20:18
it's starting to move again slowly but
20:20
surely and I'm not doing in direct sun
20:22
there's a little bit of shade here so
20:24
yeah not too bad to get these get these
20:26
fantastic views while you wait and
20:28
popcorn uh all the steam things just
20:30
heard the train give a little toot heard
20:33
the boat give a little
20:35
whistle again yeah it's uh it's all part
20:39
of the wonderful experience here do it
20:41
is Flowing pretty quickly well not
20:43
quickly but it is Flowing at a minimal
20:46
Pace it's been about a half hour
20:48
stretching outside from out into the
20:51
shave of the trees and into the Sun and
20:53
then continues along wraps around a lot
20:56
of double triple quadruple backs and
20:59
even going into areas that I've never
21:01
waited in line for Big Thunder before
21:04
really I've already been in line for a
21:05
completely for a pretty much like a half
21:08
hour already it's already been 30
21:10
minutes it's been half of an hour and
21:12
now I am underneath this little area
21:14
which is kind of nice it's in the shade
21:16
again but it's out of the elements
21:18
underneath this little section here with
21:19
these fans so you got the fans up top
21:22
right there overlooking at the line
21:24
there's a 30 minute wait out there and
21:27
then continue on so I'm probably going
21:29
to have I'm guess I'm not even in the
21:31
regular queue yet I haven't even gotten
21:33
in the line which usually once you reach
21:35
this point it's like 45 minutes from
21:38
there maybe even an hour so this might
21:41
be on on par to be an 80-minute wait
21:43
time you can see it stretches up the
21:45
side of the hill and then that's that's
21:47
really where the internal queue begins
21:49
with the theming and everything and this
21:51
is the exterior queue what I'm in I
21:54
don't even know what you would refer to
21:56
this as I mean it is themed but it's not
21:58
an area that usually has any has any
22:01
people in it I've already polished off
22:03
my first section of popcorn and I was
22:06
kind of thinking I would get lucky to be
22:08
able to go past this other popcorn stand
22:10
which is right here because the line
22:12
does not go in front of it so I'd have
22:13
to get out of line to get a refill and
22:15
it's also
22:16
$2.25 now for the refills on this I
22:19
think it used to be a dollar and now I
22:21
think it's like 225 to get a refill but
22:24
some point I might get another one might
22:25
get 35 minutes and I'm now made it into
22:28
to the precue here as you walk up and
22:33
now I'm uh I'm Minute to Win It imagine
22:36
too much of the theming changing but you
22:38
never know what they have up their
22:39
sleeve for all of this it's upside down
22:41
Minecart the little uh cacti over there
22:44
was that a Hidden Mickey right there is
22:46
that a Hidden Mickey made out of Gears
22:47
maybe the throngs of people waiting to
22:49
get to the point I'm at now and also
22:51
another one of the fairy boats river
22:53
boat not fair boats river boats are
22:54
coming by going by finally made it up to
22:57
evil Tony backer
23:04
version kind of see you got the got the
23:04
light right here kind of silhouetted out
23:06
show it a little different so imagine
23:08
here Tony back to have created this ride
23:10
this ATT traction he has a sweet
23:13
mustache I mean I don't think it's
23:15
supposed to be evil Tony back I always
23:16
refer to that he's got a little scepter
23:18
right there in his hand will the Apple
23:19
Dumpling Gang make the cut on the referb
23:22
time will tell Tim Conway and Don not
23:24
right there
23:35
iny at
23:35
all all right it's been 55
23:39
minutes right now 55 minutes I'm at this
23:42
point looking up at evil backer looks
23:45
like it's going to be kind of right
23:46
about an hour wait which honestly it's
23:49
really not that bad an hour I can handle
23:52
an hour anything over an hour starts to
23:54
get tedious but yeah not bad an hour
23:56
they asked to sit in the back and they
23:57
said just stand up against the wall next
23:59
to the trash can I'm going to see UB UB
24:02
daring is going to take off and then I'm
24:03
going to get to go load in the back
24:04
right it's
24:06
happening Happ in a popcorn bucket in
24:09
hand I got to get a refill when I'm off
24:12
last r on Big Thunder for 225 and my
24:15
first of 2025
25:40
still went on the train
26:24
W woo
26:49
Bones those guys are are
26:56
working
26:56
put AES
27:07
ah one and only ride on this for me for
27:07
2025 crazy to think
27:10
about little time to get over here doing
27:12
the whole park hopping thing from
27:14
Epcot confusion over there I didn't scan
27:17
in then I had to get off the monil
27:18
platform and then try to find the bus
27:20
and then do that then took my own
27:21
personal vehicle drove over to TTC then
27:24
took the mon from TTC to Magic Kingdom
27:26
waited an hour about an hour
27:28
is I think it was exactly an
27:32
hour again my one and only ride on Big
27:35
Thunder Mountain of 2020 High we'll try
27:37
to let that sink
27:47
in did it here's more of those geysers
27:47
that haven't been working for a while it
27:49
could be the reason they're going to be
27:51
uh some downtime and then maybe some
27:54
other subtle
27:56
repairs see what happens
27:59
and I'm sure in 2026 when it reopens I
28:02
will
28:03
be riding on it once again I'll be best
28:06
removing them even though I did leave my
28:08
glasses on I didn't have a hat to take
28:10
off but if you're wearing hats or
28:12
glasses the Old Prospector says you best
28:15
remove
28:20
them you know I say that when I'm on the
28:20
attraction makes sense but when I'm
28:22
standing out here by myself at the exit
28:24
people are staring at me when I say it
28:25
that way it's kind of awkward really
28:28
glad the attraction did not go down
28:31
because tianis has gone down so that
28:34
little uh a little uh just sneezed
28:37
beside me somebody this right here means
28:41
Tiana is down 75 minutes now for Big
28:44
Thunder that would atin you wait an hour
28:46
in the line and then it went down also
28:49
speaking of things that are now
28:50
currently down Tron is
28:54
aome just sneezing Mo out away never e
28:57
TI a tractions like that shut down it
28:59
means other other popular attaction
29:01
lines get super super super long so
29:04
Mansion which usually is kind of the
29:06
line stops right there on a busy day
29:08
wraps around double backs triple backs
29:11
and goes all the way down that direction
29:14
very busy over in fantasy land they have
29:16
a cast member here with a keep right
29:19
sign right here you very rarely will see
29:20
that happen usually you can free flow
29:23
either side but they're alerting
29:24
everyone to stay on either side they're
29:26
walking on what to do next or should I
29:28
even continue trying to do other things
29:30
cuz it is very very busy I set out for
29:32
the goal and accomplished it and did Big
29:35
Thunder but I do believe popcorn refill
29:39
is in order if I can find a popcorn sand
29:41
oh coming
29:49
by the Beast Castle up there on the hill
29:49
oh wow you know it's busy when Raceway
29:53
has a lengthy outdoor que line look at
29:56
this this is Raceway this is the line
29:58
for Raceway it's never like that it's
30:01
always just you know like 20
30:05
minutes look at this outdoor view the
30:07
Raceway honestly I think I might just
30:09
start heading out I mean I think
30:11
everything else is going to be such a
30:12
lengthy time wait time really don't know
30:14
if I would have popped in today if it
30:16
wasn't for the last chance I would get
30:17
to go on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
30:20
so I did it and I'll uh battle the
30:23
crowds on the way out down Main Street
30:25
back over to my car TTC wild as busy as
30:29
it is there is absolutely no line for
30:31
the spring rolls over here at the cusp
30:33
of Adventure Land I'm going to get some
30:34
spring rolls for 950 you can get one of
30:37
each or you can get two you want to do
30:39
950 for two of the cheese or two of the
30:41
pepperoni I'm going for one of each for
30:44
950 here yeah surpriser like no I guess
30:46
everybody's in life for the attractions
30:48
and the
30:53
rides oh yeah absolutely the shortest
30:53
weight time ever there's another one
30:55
tucked underneath there got the two
30:57
dipping sauces
30:59
yeah don't mind if I do completely
31:01
walked right up usually this line even
31:03
on a normal day is like a 15 10 or 15
31:05
minute weight not
31:07

31:20
the spring
31:21

31:24
Adventure
31:25
Land I was thinking about going over and
31:27
getting a do up and I was like holy cow
31:28
there's nobody in line for the spring
31:30
rolls what are the odds after all those
31:33
we times the two of them I think I
31:34
prefer the hamburger one pepperoni was
31:36
good I think the hamburger one with this
31:38
dipping sauce right here whatever this
31:40
dipping sauce is is top too pepperoni is
31:42
good but the hamburger and this dipping
31:44

33:07
celebrate the fact that you'll be able
33:09
to ride Big Thunder Mountain throughout
33:10
the course of the year because that is
33:11
going to be gone gone gone gone but if
33:15
you're watching this and you want to
33:16
come out here and do it make sure you do
33:18
it before Sunday Sunday is the last
33:20

33:23
I was reading a Big Thunder Mountain at
33:25
Walt Disney World for the rest of year
33:28

33:37
really want this this is still available
33:39
I did it Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
33:44
right there the wildest ride in the
33:47
wilderness this poster was made in
33:51
1979 right there that was the year the
33:54
poster was created I saw the goat
33:58
look how extreme this looks too so you
34:00
got it coming over the top I mean that
34:02
is quite the Ascension so like this
34:04
would be the angle of how it would look
34:06
as the other train is comes above
34:08
busting out of there right there going
34:11
around this turn and then up the
34:14
steepest incline known to man which is a
34:16
little bit it's a little exaggerated you
34:18
don't go quite up this extreme incline
34:20
like that this supposed to be rainbow
34:23
Ridge over here which is like kind of a
34:25
nod to the one at Disneyland there's a
34:27
little portion of that here too as well
34:29
but this kind of a mixup of both of both
34:33
coasts perhaps I don't know nonetheless
34:36
I did it see you next year see you 2026
34:40
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad I'll be
34:42
