Both are well-themed coasters overall. This being said, 7DMT just barely edges out Thunder since I run the risk of going deaf every time I go up Thunder's first lift hill.

BTMRR is way better, but 7DMT is actually close to being more competitive if they had just added a second indoor scene and some additional track (especially on the second half). What's there is actually quite good, it's just not enough for 7DMT

If you are looking for or judging on the thrill, I think WDW is the wrong place entirely. When I want a thrill ride I will head back to Ohio and go to Kings Island or Cedar point. At WDW I am more interested in the stories and immersive qualities. In that capacity it's 7DMT.

BTMRR by far. I don't even go on 7DMT anymore. To lame.

BTMRR hands down. A fast thrilling ride with plenty of scenery to try looking at as you zoom by. Has a better queue line thats filled with interesting items as well as some unexpected Disney things. I dont think 7DMT was ever built to be in competition to BTMRR, so its an unfair contest. The new swinging ride car design led us to believe it was more promising than what was delivered. Still its a ride I stand in line for and dont pass up. I wish the ending cottage scene with the Witch was more viewable.

This ain't like "Let's Make A Deal's " curtain #3 'cause I'm actually just fine with the goat, rusty crates and an old bathtub.........Big Thunder all the way.

BTM.
I always expect to enjoy 7DMT more, and am always disappointed. I always expect to be disappointed by BTM, and I never am. Anyone relate?

I definitely agree that BTM wins due to its length and - at least at WDW - it is an iconic pillar of the park (whereas at DL is seems just squeezed into the middle).
That being said, while 7DMT loses out on its brevity (which was a blessing for our young one who didn't want something too adventurous), it has some really enjoyable drops and curves and the indoor area is far more engaging than BTM.
Different rides for different ages. I enjoy them both but now that my kids are older, I won't wait/waste FP on 7DMT anymore.

It's also much easier to ride BTMRR because it doesn't sell out of FPs weeks in advance or require a long standby wait.

Ugh. No comparison.
BTMRR is a much more enjoyable experience. 1. it lasts longer, 2. it was made with adults in mind, 3. it doesn't have the stupid molded seats that are a literal pain in the patootie.

I am not a coaster fan, but I actually enjoy both of these. If I had to choose only one it would be BTM.
