ABC is queuing up for its Big Thunder Mountain project. The network just gave a pilot order to the show concept titled Big Thunder based on the long-time Disneyland theme park ride.
“When a brilliant, late 19th century New York doctor and his family are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to relocate to a frontier mining town run by a powerful, but mysterious tycoon, they quickly realize that not everything in Big Thunder is as it seems,” goes the logline

Sounds really... interesting? No, not really.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the plot of this is, but every time I see the title I start singing Big Rock Candy Mountain (to myself of course, I'm tone deaf.)
ReplyDeleteStrip away all the sci-fi from Terra Nova and it's basically the same plot.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I keep think 'Race to Witch Mountain'
ReplyDeleteDon't like the title, sounds like a theme park ride.
ReplyDeleteBad title, but the story might have some legs. It depends how they develop it...
