The ride looks pretty neat with some fantastic themeing and the AA are on another level. The young'uns are going to love it for sure, shame my young'un is not so young any more and couldn't 2 hoots about the Snow White or her bloomin dwarves. Which is a shame as when it was announced she was all into Princesses, Pluto and Pooh and couldn't wait to ride 7D. Morale of the story, kids grow up quick and Disney are sooooooo damned slow!

There will always be other kids to ride this, and some kids and adults that will refuse to grow up.

The "Disney" back row POV really shows the swaying much better. It's not crazy, but it's definitely there. Looking forward to more impressions from people around these parts.

Well I'm just saying a example, I'll definitely do single riders if it's that bad. Disney barely has a single rider option so I have no choice but to skip it. Disney for the love of god show your loners some love

If they didn't cut out track and added two more show scenes out doors of some sort, it'd be perfect. Right now it's lacking. Blue balls of a coaster.
I wish it could've been the story of scary adventures with a roller coaster in it. Mine, spooky Forrest, dance scene and tons of witches. The ending seems like something that was going to be added to the ride itself in bigger detail. Another thing I noticed from the POVS in the back is that they zoom right past stuff like the witch and sometimes miss audio ques. Hopefully that's fixed in the future so everybody gets a equal ride experience

Some facts to register
This ride is the second fastest in MK after BTM
Ride length is the longest in MK of the coasters and only 5 seconds slower than Everest
While it is shorter than planned I think for what it set out to be(not Everest or Potter) it is a homerun for Disney

BTM is 3 minutes long and I timed this based on the video of the whole ride to be 2 min 30 some seconds. So it is not the longest in MK. I believe that it would be faster than space mountain as that is a pretty slow coaster. Now I do think it is longer than anyone predicted, which is very good for capacity if they can get a forth car on there.
I haven't sadly but I have watched multiple videos and it seems short, I'm not the first person on this site to say that either and nobody else has ridden it

I think the fact that half the time is inside the mine, and the other half is short coaster parts makes the ride seem shorter then it really is. I think there could have been one more indoor show scene to make the ride just the right. Oh well.
