  • I felt like this ride was longer and better themed than Disney world, but not as intense. It depends what you're looking for. I'm glad I rode it.

  • Great smooth roller coaster, good fun to do both in daylight and night as you get to see the park. Best time to do is first thing in the morning.

  • Short line up and short ride. We all loved the railroad. Great way to get the Heart pumping for a few minutes

  • Every time we head to the park my son has to make sure we ride Indy at least once. He absolutely loves this ride. It is fun but unfortunately I think some times the ride is so busy it tends to break down at some point every time we are there. The line is always fairly long but the que is neat and very visually appealing so plenty to look at and pass the time while in line. Even on warm days it always seems a bit cooler in the area since it is a shaded area of the park. Indiana Jones is definitely considered an e-ticket ride, it is fast and fun but fairly smooth.
  • Such an amazing ride that you can go over and over again. Big Thunder Mountain is another one of my favorite ride at Disneyland. The standby lines can take long but on a good day like when I went, there was like only a 5 minute wait. It's so much fun and of course you should try to take pictures during the ride since this is like a Rollercoaster. I also took off my hat since I wasn't want to take the risk of losing my Project Rock hat.. The staff are friendly and it will feel like only a second once the ride is over. We were able to go twice since the day we went before Halloween Fest became live didn't have a lot of people at the theme park.
  • Went to Disneyland for my sisters graduation in January and went on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad since it was closed back in 2013 December, man it was awesome it’s always been my favorite ride as a kid and will always will be. Overall it’s a cool ride to go at Disneyland.
  • One of the Disney classic rides, and in my opinion, the best ride in the park. A fast paced mine cart coaster through a mining camp. No big drops, just quick turns and dips. You can usually ride this first thing in the morning as everyone runs to Galaxy's edge, or in the last hour before park closes.
  • As a semi coaster enthusiast, this ride is awesome! If you sit in the back row, you get ejector airtime! Make sure to leave your lap bar up a tiny bit to get that extra bit of airtime!
