This was an idea I had of combining both the classic attraction of Big Thunder Moutian and Expedition Everst. The theme and story will fit perfectly with the mythos of Thunder Mesa and Phantom Manor.
Amongst the shops and Old West architecture of Thunder Mesa, lies a huge rocky outcropping of a moutian looming over the small town like a long forgten deity.
We walk across an old abondoned mineing faclity, complete with old minging gears and machinering that use to dig for gold back in the old day. Guests will then make their way down through a tunnel.
Inside the cavernous hall, one can spot an ancient rock carving depicting a bird.
Ocne guests have assembled in the pre show room, we greeted by a castmeber as an old shaman. He tells guests about the legend of the mountian and Thunder Bird who gaurds it and would bring disaters if those who would dare defy the spirit. As he tells the story, images appears from the smoke of the fire. He continues his story of how the outsiders who sought after the gold within the mountians and plundered it's riches. The angered spirit punished these foolish mortals and brough death and destruction in it's wake. He then warns guests that the Thunderbrid still lives within the mountian, and warns us not the disturd the spirit's habitat.
After the pre show, guests are then escorted to the boarding area, where the vehicle are shaped like mine carts, with a locomotive stam train on the front. Once guests are seated, the train starts to take us to a crossroad in the tunnel systm. Our train seems to going the left side, however it sends us the right side and we are plunged into the darkness.
Red eyes glow from within at the darkness as bats fly over our heads.
Stalagtite hang above the cavern surface, as they seem to glowing with an bright colors.
Just when our train is about to ascent to the summit, it suddenly stops and we are confronted by an enormus brid like creature. It is the Thunderbird, gaurdian spirit of the mountian. With the flap of it's wings, lightening shoots from it's wings, and our train is sent backwards.
Our train then dodges pass an avalanche of falling rocks and bolders.
We then emerge out of the darkness and into the light of day. Our train then comes to a complete stop. But just before we can relax, a gaot is munching on a stick of dynamite. The goat unwitlingly steps on the lever that activates a TnT box and causes an explotion, which will cause our train to zoom forward.
Through a series of hills pass through a variaity of intresting scenes, such as the remins of a flooded town, a log cabin set on fire, two coyotes fighting over their meal and family of possums haning on their tails to a dead tree.
Our train then passes through the skeletal remins of a T rex, as we enter through it's mouth and into to it's ribcage.
We then enter another cavern, as out train is engluffed in darkness. Streks of lighting pierce throgh the darkness, as we are once agin encountered by the Thunderbrid as it hovers above us.
We then eventualy emerge out of the darkness and from the grasp of the Thunderbird. As we plung into a hot spring of geysers that shoot water at us. Our train eventualy comes to a complete stop, as we are escorted out from the livery station and back to civilization.
