Greetings, fellow adventurers! Ripley here, scurrying through a sunny Orlando morning where the air is a crisp 67° and excitement is building at the Magic Kingdom. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is officially set to reopen on May 3, and I cannot wait to hear that train whistle echo through Frontierland again.
🎯 Don’t Miss This
- Big Thunder Reopens May 3!
The wildest ride in the wilderness returns to Magic Kingdom with fresh track work and updated effects. - Hogwarts Scrims Down!
The scaffolding is clearing at Islands of Adventure, revealing a beautifully refreshed Hogwarts Castle exterior. - Epic Universe Demand!
Wait times at the newest park continue to show high demand for Dark Universe and Super Nintendo World attractions.
With temperatures climbing into the low 80s today, I recommend hitting the outdoor coasters like Big Thunder or VelociCoaster before the midday sun peaks. These clear skies are perfect for photos, but that Florida sun is no joke!
