Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Track Replacement Project Tracker
Check out the latest photos and news for the lengthy Big Thunder Mountain Railroad refurbishment starting in January 2025 and stretching into 2026
We’re tracking the extensive refurbishment of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. The attraction closed January 6, 2025 and it won’t open until sometime in 2026. The refurbishment will add “new magic” to the attraction, according to Walt Disney World. The attraction will also receive extensive work to replace the roller coaster track as well, mirroring updates made a decade ago at Disneyland Park.
