Big Thunder Mountain Turnaround

[fredster]

My DS9 and I have been reading these threads and he has an important tip that he wants to share with everybody:

"When the fireworks are shooting and you take a turn on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, turn your head around just until you can see the fireworks and it will be very fun."

Promise me I won't get whiplash?

I agree. Riding BTMRR while the fireworks are shooting is a lot of fun.

Great tip! Night is my favorite time to ride BTMRR.

Good tip from another young Disney fanatic! You really are rising him right.

 

[fredster]

Thanks for the comments, folks. He thought they were cool.

We found this out 2 years ago and always try to ride during at least one show.

i ll make sure to see when i go i love BMRR in the dark i never see anything coming

Is the point of it to just see the fireworks, or does it have an effect like the "goat trick" on BTMRR at Disneyland?

Ahh - tell him thanks - I love BTMR at night

That's my favorite!!! We did that on my first trip and b/c the we were the only people that rode and we just kept going around and around..... got to watch all of wishes

Ooo I've never tried that- we're usually on Main St. for Wishes. However, we have done Test Track during Illuminations and it is GORGEOUS on the outside bend when the fireworks are going off and the wind's hitting your face.

Not to hi-jack your thread but many many years ago we went to WDW, probably our 15 trip, and took another couple and their children for the first time and we all went on the Liberty paddle wheel boat around fireworks time, giving no thought to the time interval. As we rounded the bend to head past the HM, the fireworks went off or started and they stopped the boat, my buddy says how cool is this and I told him I requested this to make his family's trip special, he bought it completely. Not sure if they run the boat any more during the fireworks or not but it was a Disney moment we will remember always. Something as unplanned, relaxing on deck and seeing the fireworks over the castle was very special and they couldn't thank us enough for inviting them on one of Disney vacations.
