Big Thunder Mountain Pictures

[Imagineer Mitch]

i still haven't understood why Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain doesn't take your picture, any ideas why or why not and tell me if you think it would be a good idea or not

i don't reall think it would be that great to have photos on Thunder Mtn.....there aren't really any big drops or anything like there are in Everest / Splash Mtn. etc. The pictures are only really fun---and sellable---if they catch riders with a big range of surprise, screams, and funny faces.

And dont we have enough attractions that take your picture? But an idea none the less.

As much as "on ride photos" might seemed like a great idea some 20 years ago, in this day and age I would guess they will start to phase them out. I know that I have seen a longer line to try and take a picture with a camera of the display photo then to buy the photo.

Also BTMRR was one of the older attractions so trying to retro a photo system into it might not be worth doing.

Oh there are so many possible replies to that statement. :ROFLOL:

I agree with Jerm. Trying to give an older attraction better technology to take a picture may not be worth it. It's my favorite ride and I love it the way it is. And it doesn't a big drop like in Splash Mountain, where you knowthat everyone will have the funniest expression on their face. If Thunder may get a refurb in the future, then I guess it is a possibility. But for now, just leave it to be the classic attraction that we all know and love.

that's where i first found out about big thunder having pictures

I've always held my camera out in front of us. As a matter of fact, that is where/how my profile picture was taken.

I just remembered it didn't take onride photos once you said that. I am fine without a picture. With todays technology they are starting to take onride videos of people and you can buy them on a dvd. I agree with some of you though, I like the old feeling with no picture.

We rarely ever get the ride photos - it would be nice if you would be able to just get them on your photopass. I know one of the rides has it (can't remember which though!). They have the monitors up and you just put your photopass in the slot underneath. Quick & easy and then you aren't paying for separate photos - we always just get the cd!

You also have to remember that Big Thunder doesn't have a store or other structure at its exit like other attractions that have on-ride photos. So if they wanted to add on-ride photo, they'd have to build either an entire building or at least an outdoor stand from scratch. That would be quite an expense just to get on-ride photos up and running on BTMRR.

Test Track currently has that option.
