Big Thunder Mountain Accident (DLRP)

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

btm-dlrp-accident.jpgNo info has leaked on the Internet regarding any accident on Disneyland Resort Paris Big Thunder Mountain attraction but when I checked my mail today a reader sent me the picture he took on Thursday. The ride was closed for the rest of that day, but reopened the next morning.

I was at the park on Thursday myself but didn’t catch any of this, on Friday I even went on Big Thunder Mountain myself…

Anybody knows more? Let us know!
