The station buildings on all four versions of the ride are themed to appearance of a mining company office from the mid to late 19th century. The detailed backstory, while present in park literature and training materials, is not communicated to park guests directly. The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was founded in the old mining camp to allow wanderers to take rides on the possessed trains.
Some time later, the locomotives were found to be racing around the mountain on their own, without engineers or a crew. īefore long, the settlers' desecration of the mountain caused a great tragedy, which, depending on the park, is usually depicted to be an earthquake (Disneyland and Disneyland Paris), a tsunami (Tokyo Disneyland), a flash flood (Walt Disney World), which befell the mines and town, and the town was abandoned. Unknown to the settlers, the mountain was a sacred spot to local Native Americans and was cursed. Mining was prosperous, and an extensive line of mine trains was set up to transport the ore. Overnight, a small mining town became a thriving one (Rainbow Ridge in Disneyland Tumbleweed in Florida Thunder Mesa in Disneyland Paris). Sometime in the late 1800s, gold was discovered on Big Thunder Mountain in the American Southwest. Inspired by real-life Bryce Canyon, the Hoodoos of Big Thunder in Disneyland as seen from the Big Thunder Trail that passes behind the ride.Īlthough the details of the backstory vary from park to park, all follow the same general story arc.
