Take a virtual ride on Hong Kong Disneyland's Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars
If Hong Kong Disneyland isn't in the cards for a while, you can still experience a piece of the park from the comfort of your couch.
Dash in and out of twisting caverns and rumble through Grizzly Gulch aboard a speeding mine train: the Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars.
Riders go both forward and backward as they crisscross through the land of Grizzly Gulch. The coaster-type ride opened in 2012 and tells the story of three bears that led to its discovery.
According to the park's website, the story goes like this: a resident by the name of Captain Cosgrove was out enjoying the mountain scenery when he noticed three bears scratching their backs on the craggy rocks. After the bears retired to their cave inside the mountain, the captain suddenly noticed a sparkle in the rocks. The scratching had exposed gold underneath! Cosgrove immediately staked his claim and the Big Grizzly Mountain Mining Company was born.
Hong Kong Disneyland Park officially reopened on June 18 with reduced capacity, enhanced health and safety procedures and a new reservation system for all guests. All guests entering the park will be required to undergo temperature screening and wear face masks.
