Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland

The Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland is a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge railroad attraction in Frontierland in Disneyland, that features many of the Audio-Animatronic animals in natural desert- and woods-themed environments. It first opened on June 12, 1960 as an extension of Rainbow Caverns Mine Train, which opened on July 2, 1956. It closed on January 2, 1977 for refurbishment and removed a few areas to make room for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but thankfully, the ride reopened on June 19, 1979 with slightly longer ride times due to longer and rearranged tracks, as well as making audio-animatronic animals realistic in appearance and they now move more fluid and lifelike.
