How do the Matterhorn and big thunder rr rides compare?

Just wondering. I've been on Matterhorn but no btmrr

They're very different styles of roller coaster. The closest thing to the Matterhorn at WDW is Space Mountain; the Florida version of SM uses a similar bobsled-style vehicle. Big Thunder has larger mine train-style vehicles that have you seated higher with two people side by side, which I think provides more feeling of stability. They're similarly wild, though. Big Thunder is much rougher (and I think more fun) in the back of the train than the front, and I believe it's a longer ride than the Matterhorn.

Big thunder is much smoother than the current DL Matterhorn. (I’d say Big thunder is between DL Matterhorn and DL Space mountain)

Doesn’t DL have a BTMRR? I thought it was right there in the ranch area. Would’ve sworn we could see it from the Mexican food QS...?
