I don't recall. Since my wife got pregnant, I told her I wouldn't ride coaster since she couldn't. She said I didn't have too, but since Space Mtn is her fave, she would be sad just sitting there waiting for me for 3 hours....HAHAHA Yeah...like it's 3 hours. I mean 4 HOURS!

Yeah... my girlfriend flat out refuses to go on Thunder Mountain because it's so rough. Matterhorn can be a white-knuckle ride, too.

I don't think it is rough. Its my second favorite ride in the park, but my least favorite CM runned ride. Aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaaiiaaiiaaaaeeeeeeeeee.

ORWEN: When us Cauldron girls rode it last week we thought it was smooth enough. But it was a little jerky at times. Maybe that's what you mean?

I love BTM and the CM who run the ride. Theyve always been super nice.

I always try to give them a "HI-5" as I exit the loading area, but they never 'heed my 5'. How can I get them to give me a HI-5?

Actually when I ride Matterhorn I always fear flying off the track. That is a rough ride.

It is, after all "The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!"

Re: BTM is Rough!

It is getting rougher! They finally added the pouches for them hats and glasses!

Re: BTM is Rough!

naaaahhh, it's not that rough.... if anything I would say Matterhorn is the worst...

Re: BTM is Rough!

Hmmm...
I rode it quite a few times this past weekend and it did not feel rough to me (and I love riding it at night better than in the day) Granted it is not as smooth as Space Mtn. or Ca Screamin'. To me, the Matterhorn is the bumpy and rough ride, but I guess that is how it should be considering it is a "bobsled"

Re: BTM is Rough!

I have found the ride unbearable in the back. It swings you around like crazy! We try to sit in the front two cars when we ride. It is a lot smoother up there.

Re: BTM is Rough!

But the back is where the "goat trick" works best!

Re: BTM is Rough!

I love riding in the back cart of BTM. I've never noticed it being "rougher" as of late, but it is faster. Matterhorn is the bumpiest, particularly if there are single riders per sled. It's not as bad when you ride it when there are two per sled. It all depends on the weight???

Re: BTM is Rough!

It's not to rough. I mostly just slide back and forth on the seat. Now the matterhorn is another story. It is very painful coaster, very rough.

The worst was at magic mountain. The viper snapped my sunglasses in to. They were in a side pocket of cargo pants and it bangs your head around too.

For a smooth ride on almost every Disney roller coaster is a secret known to Bobsledders and Motorcycle riders. Always Always always lean INTO the turns.
