This is an entry in our Disneyland 101 Glossary: Disneyland Resort definitions in under 101 words, from Mouse Brief.
Some of the biggest thrill rides at Disneyland Park are found in and on “mountains”: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Matterhorn (Mountain) Bobsleds, Space Mountain and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (formerly Splash Mountain). Across the Esplanade at Disney California Adventure Park, Radiator Springs Racers and Grizzly River Run (found around Grizzly Peak) join the Disneyland Resort “mountain range.” Referring to this group of rides as “the mountain range” or “the mountains” is not used officially by Disney, but you may hear other guests use these terms. These rides are included in the category “e-ticket attraction.”
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened at Disneyland on November 15, 2024, and some riders are getting really wet. we recommend our What to Wear for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland. And, for general Disneyland planning advice, start here.
