Big Thunder Mountain and the Gold Rush Legend
At Tokyo Disneyland, Big Thunder Mountain isn’t just a wild runaway mine train—it’s steeped in the legend of the 1849 California Gold Rush.
According to the tale, spirits haunted the mountain. Miners who dug too greedily triggered mysterious disasters, and the booming mine town soon became a ghost town. 👻⛰️
