Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is set to undergo a major transformation as its beloved Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster closes for an extensive refurbishment in early 2025. The iconic Frontierland attraction will be closed for over a year, undergoing renovations that promise to enhance the guest experience and ensure the ride’s longevity for years to come. This refurbishment will mark the most significant overhaul in the ride’s history, with Disney promising to introduce ‘a little bit of new magic’ upon its return in 2026.
