At the end of 2024, Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris closed for a lengthy refurbishment. It was first announced that the attraction will reopen in the summer of 2025. Now we're hitting the summer months Disneyland Paris has announced that Big Thunder Mountain will reopen on June 21st, 2025. Big Thunder Mountain at Walt Disney World is currently also closed for refurbishment and will reopen in early 2026.

During the refurbishment in-depth maintenance of the tunnels and rails took place, with certain stretches being completely replaced, the mountain itself was entirely cleaned using drones – a first for the Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams. Some of the attraction's water, visual and sound effects have also been reworked or restored.

The highly detailed scenery of Big Thunder Mountain was not left out – certain wooden elements like Mill Camp Tower were dismantled for restoration before being reinstalled on the mountain. Hundreds of accessories, visible both throughout the attraction and its queue line, have been carefully cleaned, repainted, and given a patina in the Disneyland® Paris Central Workshops to preserve the authentic, timeworn look of this gold-rush-era mine. For larger pieces, such as the Lavinia steam engine visible from the queue area, the work was carried out directly on site. The attraction's animal figures, such as the mules, opossums and bats, were restored and repainted in the Central Workshops, and some were even given a brand-new coat, like the emblematic the goat.
