Favorite Disney Parks Attraction Showdown: Round 1 - Group B2
Videos and propaganda under the cut!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: Disneyland, WDW Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris
Propaganda:
Disneyland version: "It has such an effective use of underground sections, especially when they're completely dark and give you the illusion of going even faster. The first one can catch you off guard, which makes it all the more effective! The canyon theming is gorgeous as always, and while there's a shorter town section, it's still fun to look at. The cave for the lift hill after the first dark section is also great and I love the use of water features in the ride"
Disney World version: Ok so this is a bit of a story. There was a doctor who noticed that lots of his patients had passed kidney stones after riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. So he and a collaborator rode on the ride a bunch of times while holding a backpack with a 3D printed kidney filled with urine and kidney stones. Amazingly, around 60% of the time when sitting in the back of the coaster, the stone would pass! The study also notes that other roller coasters in the park like the rock n roller coaster or space mountain did not have the same effect.
