Big Thunder Mountain Trail reopens at Disneyland

(FOX 11) - It's not a ride or a major attraction at Disneyland.

But it's still a big deal.

The walkway between Frontierland andFfantasyland has been closed since the beginning of 2016 for construction on Star Wars Land.

Big thunder trail reopened at Disneyland on Thursday and It's now easier to get from Frontierland to Fantasyland.

Today's big thunder trail pathway is not the same as visitors walked before the construction project. The pathway, which connects Frontierland to Fantasyland behind the Big Thunder Mountain railroad roller coaster now follows a slightly different route, to allow for the construction of the 14-acre land.

Now the the newly opened pathway will be one of the main entry points to the Star Wars themed land expected to open in 2019.
