Here is a bunch of photos from the soft opening of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! It has been closed for sometime and I know many of us have been waiting for it to reopen after its lengthy refurbishment.

Special thank you from Amy W for sharing all these great photos with us.

A few things to look out for are:

• When Amy asked one of the Cast Members what the boxes in the queue were for, they got all mysterious and said we would find out on Monday!
• About halfway through the Queue (right where the new flooring is), the handrails changed from the square kind to these cool pipe kinds. (see photos below)
• Amy thinks that they switched the standby line and fastpass lines.
