Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Coming this Fall?

Let’s pretend it's the summer of 1979. Guess what’s coming to Disneyland this Fall? Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. “A strange force has unleashed the run-away mine trains of Big Thunder Mountain, but everyday Big Thunder strikes – It could only happen at Disneyland” (YouTube Link to a great commercial).

This poster was an advertisement for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and for Disneyland’s Magic Kingdom Club members to buy tickets.






This 1979 Passport to Disneyland is a few months earlier than the above ad, but this little ticket was actually mine in 1979, I remember the day very well, I used that pass to ride Adventure Thru Inner Space at least five times and a few America Sings shows too.






The Magic Kingdom Club “Magic Key Ticket Book”. This admission ticket is actually from a 1977 ticket book, the rest of the post if from a September 1979 ticket book.





Behind the admission ticket is the welcome message and the first of 11 “Magic Key Tickets”






The remaining five pages look like this.

One heck of a deal for $7.50, so great that Dumbo looks happy as can be.
