Are there tommy knockers in Big Thunder Mountain?
And what movie do you NEED to watch to understand this queue?In this episode of Distory, we inch our way through the queue of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Walt Disney World. But we don’t get very far; in fact, there are so many hidden details and secrets in just the foreman's office that this entire episode is dedicated to that space alone. As we take in all of the hidden mining (and Disney) history, references, and secrets, we realize that one Disney movie above all else is mentioned way more times than we expected, and is a must-watch for any Distorian who wants to understand the queue of this iconic attraction. On our visit to the Big Thunder Mining company office, Kate points out an inconsistency with a wood stove, Kirk explains the mystery of Tommy Knockers, we both go a little cross-eyed trying to read the town bulletin board, and Kirk gets irritated with Kate (but she wins him over by talking about lamps).
