The Big, Thunderous Isle

When it comes to prominence, grandeur, and impressiveness, it doesn't get much more epic than Disneyland Paris' Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which is situated on its very own island and features magnificent, towering buttes surrounded by the waters of the Rivers of the Far West.  It's an amazing vista that really evokes the far-roaming spirit of the Old West, and it also reflects France's enduring fascination with pioneering Americana.  Or perhaps it's the country's wondering of what could have been if they hadn't sold the Louisiana Purchase?  Either way, the environment is spectacular!
