Inscription. Cascade Falls and Ol’ Unfaithful were once prominent features in the classic Frontierland attraction Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland, which made its debut at Disneyland in 1960. Taking its cue from the True Life Adventures series nature films, this attraction took guests on a tram tour through Beaver Valley, Bear Country, The Living Desert, and Rainbow Caverns. Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland eventually closed down to make room for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which opened in 1979. These new interpretations of Cascade Falls and Ol’ Unfaithful are a tribute to the nostalgic past of Frontierland.

Erected by Disneyland Resort.
