How is the Tower of Terror connected to Disneyland Paris's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad?
In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we continue our exploration of the "crown jewel" of all the Big Thunder Mountain Railroads, the one in Disneyland Paris. After a brief discussion of concept and construction, we check out all of Pat Burke’s amazing antiques in the queue, including a few with some surprising stories. From a coveted piece of rare machinery to a tribute to one of WED’s great model makers, this queue was meant to be the pinnacle of all the versions of Big Thunder. After waxing nostalgic about stamp mills and woodstoves, we continue down to the loading dock where Kirk is delighted by a particular prop. Kate gets embarrassed by an accidental turn of phrase, Kirk makes fun of how she says pan, and we laugh way too much as we near the finale of our Big Thunder Mountain series.
