Last year, the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness, aka Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, at Magic Kingdom celebrated its 40th anniversary.

Yee-haw!
But the ride went down for a short refurbishment earlier this year to get it all spiffed up for Disney World’s big 50th anniversary celebration.
And although Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was scheduled for refurbishment THROUGH today, it’s up and running instead — a day earlier than anticipated! According to the official Disney World website, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be running today during Magic Kingdom’s regular operating hours: 8AM to 9PM.
