Though some may not agree, I would argue that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is probably the tamest of the three Disneyland coasters (not including the Go-Coaster in Toontown). However, that does not mean that it is tame. The ride simulates a runaway mine train careening through a Wild West desert mountain, with several little bunny hop hills and lots of spiraling turns. The theming is truly exceptional, with mining equipment everywhere, animals galore, caves and caverns, an earthquake, and the iconic dinosaur fossil at the end of the ride. I do rank Space Mountain and even the Matterhorn just ever-so-slightly higher than Big Thunder Mountain, as they are a little wilder, but it is a very close call. For the wildest ride here, sit in the back. Regardless, this is a perfect coaster for Disney, and should be a great overall experience for everyone.
