Beckers 1,136 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's only a 1:21. Could the ride really be that short?Also, it didn't seem that the car was swaying, I wonder if they turned it off for the video? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I don't think it's the whole ride - there are a couple noticeable edits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's only a 1:21. Could the ride really be that short?Also, it didn't seem that the car was swaying, I wonder if they turned it off for the video? Wow- that's short. They left off the loading and unloading, and I think they sped up the tape on the lift hill- but looking at the tape, the main part of the ride does look really short. I am afraid that this is going to be another case of them going cheap on something that could have been much better. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 So why are they calling it a FULL pov? (Caps directed to Disney, not you mo). Wouldn't you consider a full pov the whole thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yep, I would. Unless they're playing semantics and "full" means they're showing the ride from beginning to end... but not necessarily every bit in the middle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 For what it's worth, Inside the Magic is saying... "Walt Disney World has released an *almost* full POV ride-through... (Still a few surprises to come...)" https://www.facebook.com/insidethemagic/photos/a.391990882034.180401.10300702034/10151991460297035/?type=1&theater Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm completely underwhelmed by that video. I hope the actual ride is more exciting. I was expecting something along the thrill level of BTMRR. That's a pretty sedate looking ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YENSIDCAMPER 66 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Okay for once I may have some fresh news. One of the CMs on the ride is the child of a friend of mine. I have not watched the video and I won't until I ride the thing in June. I also have not read anything about the parade. I like to be surprised by the real things. The word is the ride is pretty cool and the scenery/story is awesome, but it is not a coaster and anyone wanting anything with a coaster appeal is not going to like it. Not hard to put that together but this is from an actual person who rode it. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not hard to put that together but this is from an actual person who rode it. Managing expectations on this one will be tough....as it "looks" like a coaster. It will be quite a while before I get to ride it, so by then I'll have heard enough about it that my expectations should be in check. For me, that will help. I hadn't heard much about the Under the Sea ride before experiencing it. You all know how that turned out. I suppose if someone had told me before hand that I'd just be slowly moving through some plastic scenes from the movie, and the only really appealing aspect would be the air conditioning and the undulating sea monster with huge....ah, eyes....well, maybe that would have given me a better perspective.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I figured this would just be a newer version on the Barnstormer. I never figured big thrills in Fantsy land but I am ok with that. Now that I have a little girl I am glad to see they are putting in rides that a family can ride together that are faster then The old Snow White ride. Although when I am tired a slow ride is nice. But that is what the golf cart at the fort is for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I guess this is why Lou keeps reminding us it's the Mine TRAIN and not the Mine COASTER. Still looks fun, but I agree that expectations are the key. I shall expect it to NOT be BTMRR, The Sequel. ... when I am tired a slow ride is nice. But that is what the golf cart at the fort is for.

Lots of family fun! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152417788623566&set=a.382599058565.162665.194340658565&type=1&theater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 From Facebook... Orlando Attractions Magazine3 mins ·We just rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Disney's Magic Kingdom. It's was great! Here's a complete ride-through video with front and back views from start to finish, no cuts.Warning, spoilers! #MineTrain #Disney Video...http://youtu.be/R0wJar2XF2U Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 From Facebook... Video...http://youtu.be/R0wJar2XF2U So the earlier Disney video left out the scene near the end of the ride. But, the whole thing is just about two minutes. The dark part looks nice. The description of it being somewhere between the Goofy coaster and BTMRR seems pretty accurate.

devores 382 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 And this is what bothers me about the "media" these days. Its not about reporting new and interesting stuff. Its about "Look at the cool stuff I got to do that youll never be able to do" Rubbing it on our faces that they got to do something that the average joe will never get to do. And why? Because they have 3 followers on twitter, have no job, and live in their moms basement. And would it kill ya to invest in some decent video equipment? That video was horribly shot. I cant take a reporter seriously when they are using their I phone to document the news. BradyBzLyn...Mo, Momof6....aka Marty and Tri-Circle-D 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I cant take a reporter seriously when they are using their I phone to document the news. I wish I could give you more than one up arrow for that post! Excellent, and I couldn't agree more. I think the whole promotion of this attraction has been handled very poorly by Disney. It irks me too that they cater to these bloggers and continue to tease their paying customers by posting video after video on the blog. Today, they posted one about the interactive queue, but still no word about when a paying customer might get to ride. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 It all boils down to 2 words... free marketing ... still no word about when a paying customer might get to ride.

I can only check 30 days out since I don't have a current room reservation. Going out to May 31, nothing shows up on MDE for Mine Train FP+'s. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
