Attractions

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Height Restriction: 40" Ride Length: 4 minutes Use Fastpass Here This roller coaster, set in a gold mine, is one of the most popular rides in the Magic Kingdom. As a less thrilling roller coaster, Big Thunder Mountain attracts younger riders as well as those who do not like as intense rides. Lines tend to be long and the wait area does not provide much relief from the heat, so be sure to use Fastpass at this attraction.
Visitor Comments: "My favorite roller coaster. I don't like big drops and this one has just enough to make it fun, but not enough to make it uncomfortable." - Lorie
Country Bear Jamboree Show Length: 17 minutes The Country Bear Jamboree is a 17 minute show which children of all ages can attend, but this show is a little bit corny for older viewers. During the Christmas season, a special holiday version is presented. Visitor Comments: "They change these every couple of years. I love the animatronics. Don't forget to look for the Moose and Deer to your left at times throughout the show." - Lorie
Frontierland Shootin' Arcade An extra charge applies if you are interested in practicing your target aim in this arcade.
Splash Mountain Height Restriction: 40" Ride Length: 11 minutes Use Fastpass Here After being loaded into log flumes (each flume has 4 rows that hold 2 people), visitors travel through the story of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear. The detail of the Audio-Animatronics animals and their homes is really impressive (You'll notice different things each time you ride). There is one spot (when the log flumes are located so that riders can see other people dropping) where the people on the right side of the flume will get wet. The story continues with Brer Rabbit begging Brer Bear and Fox to not throw him down into the Briar Patch. The drop that follows is very steep and everyone in the boat will get wet (extra water is added on hot days). Tip - sit on the left side in the back of the log flume for the driest ride.
Tom Saywer Island Transported by raft to the island, visitors are free to explore once there. There are places for adults to sit, while children can play in caves and explore trails and bridges. Aunt Polly's Dockside Inn, located on the island, serves sandwiches and drinks. Visit early in the day, because this attraction closes at dark.
