Disneyland’s Big Thunder Trail Reopens

The Big Thunder Trail in Disneyland park reopened this morning after being closed since the beginning of 2016.

The path behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad which connects Frontierland to Fantasyland will be one of the main entry points to the Star Wars-themed land that is expected to open in 2019.

They’ve been joined, however, by a pair of turtles that have been put in place to repopulate the pond.

While the Big Thunder Trail is open, no other attractions have reopened, though river traffic is expected to resume soon, with the Disneyland Railroad and an updated Fantasmic! returning later in the summer.
