Disney World recently announced that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will close on January 6, 2025, for a very lengthy refurbishment, which will include some new enhancements according to Disney World.
Here is the official statement:
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will temporarily close for refurbishment on January 6, 2025. The attraction will reopen with a little bit of new magic in 2026.
No word on what exactly the “little bit of new magic” is, but we are hoping it includes adding Disneyland’s version of the indoor lift hill with the explosions.
