Disneyland Secrets: Frontierland
Note: Some of these secrets may be out-dated. If you are absolutely sure one if false, please tell me.
You may notice that quite a few of these secrets are about Nature's Wonderland, please comment saying if you would be interested in me creating a video on it.

Rumor has it that for the first eight months of the parks existence, the shooting gallery used .22 caliber ammunition. This was later changed due to the obvious safety concerns.

The sound effects used on Big Thunder Mnt. RR for the train going down the tracks were also used in Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Temple of Doom (1984) for the mine cart sequence.

The fort entrance (and the fort on Tom Sawyer Island) are made out of real logs. These logs were floated across the river, similar to how they would have done it to build an actual fort 'back in the day'.

The "Old Mine Train" was an old Disneyland attraction which was removed to make way for Big Thunder. You can still see one of its cars/engines on the railroad tracks at the "dried-up" waterfall near the Rivers of America.

When you near the end of Big Thunder Mnt., notice the buildings to the left. These are the original buildings from rainbow ridge (Nature's Wonderland). These buildings are actually half-scaled.

Near the McDonalds store, there is a boarded up cave, and it use to be for Nature's Wonderland. You can still see some of the train tracks. On the top, Marmots would pop up and down as the train went in.

Cascade Peak, an old Nature's Wonderland scenery, is a rather unknown mountain the train use to go by. It is now dried up and the one of the ride's trains sits by it (Rivers of America).

Where Big Thunder is now used to be Rainbow Cavern that used black-lighting affects to color the water. You can still see at the of start Big Thunder a honor to what once stood, but they now used a different affect.

The names for the trains on Big Thunder Mnt. are: U.R. Daring, I.M. Brave, I.M. Bold, U.R. Fearless, I.B. Hearty, and U.R. Courageous.

Walt Disney was so determined to see the Mark Twain afloat that when corporate completion money ran out, he paid the difference himself.

The Sailing Ship Columbia is a 10-gun, 3 masted vessel. At 84 ft tall, this is a full scale replica of the first American ship to sail around the world.

That concludes Frontierland secrets. I have many more secrets, and I may make another video to put them in. Also, a comment or two about any secrets not mentioned here, or even about the ones mentioned, would be great!

None of the photos in this video are mine! I got all of them off of Flickr and the music from

I don't think the I.M. Brave train is used anymore on Thunder Mountain after it was involved in a fatal accident. I believe they replaced it with a new train named I.M. Loco

@mdjk89 Ya, probably not huh. :)

Also the tracks and tunnel across the lake was the old Natures Wonderland bear lake tunnel. The trains would leave rainbow ridge cross the current walkway and duck in the tunnel by the Frontierland River landing slightly NE of the Twains Dock. Then it would go out to Cascade Peak, do a 180 turn under the waterfalls and go back through the second tunnel and go over bear lake.

Correction the Caverns on the lift hill for BTMRR was new created as a tribute toward Natures Wonderland. The actual Caverns was a big long building butting up against storybookland and ran across big thunder trail.

This is great! Do you know anything about the Cave of Intrigue? I'm dying to know what it was for? It is the cave next to BTRR and it has the fake fish in the lake below the bridge.

[10purpleprincess]

at 1:17 actually the mountain for big thunder is not really near of what was the main part of rainbow caverns. most of the building for rainbow cavern is still there but being used as a storage place and some other parts of the building was torn down.

[zac613]

I've looked at "Then and Now" pics of rainbow ridge. Now where thunder mountain passes the buildings use to be the 2nd and 3rd layerd set of the rainbow ridge. there use to be buildings where thunder mountain passes rainbow ridge.

[deflepnBonJovi4ever]

they sure changed a lot of Frontierland. It used to be like a train ride like the one at Knotts right?
