Big Thunder Mountain closed for a lengthy and extensive refurbishment from November 2nd 2015 until December 16th 2016. The ride reopened on December 17th 2016 with the whole ride and surroundings being refurbished and new effects being added on the final lift. |
In 2021 the trains were adapted so that one car on every train now has an easy to remove side panel to make for easier disabled access. These modifications were done by Reverchon. |
