SDMT is one of the budget wastes ever in a park. It doesn't dominate the skyline. It isn't even worth the theming for the effort given the capacity at all. I would gladly take to lower budget rides that are more fun.

I agree for Shanghai, but in Magic Kingdom it was a last minute replacement for two meet and greets, so I’ll always look on it a bit more kindly there.

It’s definitely not worth the lines it draws, but that’s more a MK capacity problem than anything else.

Sorry, but Mine Train is a good-to-great ride, especially for the demographic it aims at. Universal would do well to have something similar

Considering the mega E-ticket like MK, and the all ages family omnimover of Yoshi, something in the middle makes complete sense. And to me, that's..kind of what Donkey Kong feels.

Sure, it's an extremely innovative take on the steeplechase system, but it's not going to be the main star of SNW. And honestly..that's perfectly fine.

As someone who’s never been on SDMT I thought it looks pretty nice and if donkey Kong is in the vein of that ride I’d love it

We like SDMT a lot, especially the cave scene. It's a ton of fun, just a tad short. If it would have had another dark scene, or two, like some reports rumored, it would be a great attraction. Bottom
line, though, it's one of MK's best attractions.

I think SDMT is a great D Ticket.

But given MK's average attendance, it really should have had one more lift hill giving it the added capacity by being able to run one more train. Right now, capacity is too low for a park as popular as MK.

As long as it has more than just one indoor scene I’m good.

To bring this up, as I feel like it'd be interesting to say.

With Universal having Hotel properties around the Universal Studio's Japan park--perhaps we can see them wanting to put in something similar to what Orlando did with Hogsmeade--testing out the land with a limited amount of individuals. Those individuals, being hotel guests.

With Disney and OLC seemingly going to test it out with Beauty and The Beast possibly, and with this being something Universal has done in the past--perhaps it'd be a way to iron out anything extra that they may forget about.

SDMT suffered from Disney and Disney fanboys overhyping the ride as a pre-emptive strike against Diagon Alley. It's a fine ride, I'd wait an hour for it, no more.

In the leaked permits, it appears that the queue gets really close to the (presumably) indoor section. Maybe the guests can interact with the coaster somehow?

Does anybody know location of the station? I thought it was near the spike jump (the long section that's right up against Mario Kart), but it looks as if it could be inside the main temple as well (below the waterfall).

Dang, it looks like we'll have a lengthy indoor section then. And if the direction on the leaked model is correct, then we'll start with the barrel launch?

It was supposed to be longer.

The green version would’ve still fit in the exact same spot btw.

Ya not to downgrade but take back what I said about it being better than MK lol. This still seems wonderful however. I’m hoping for 2:15 ride time at best

I was merely pointing out there’s a legitimate criticism to be made especially considering there was no actual big ride added with New Fantasyland. Donkey Kong and Yoshi on the other hand are compliments to Mario Kart. I imagine there would’ve been less backlash from fans if the expansion also gave us the B&tB ride that’s about to open in Tokyo. SDMT would’ve had much less pressure.

Yeah. It's actually a very similar situation to that over at Hong Kong Disneyland, where their version of SDMT (Sliding Sleighs) doesn't have a lot of expectations on it due to it being a supporting attraction to Frozen Ever After.

Yeah, this ride will be fine. I'm really wondering what the indoor section will be like, as it seems a lot more lengthy than I originally anticipated.
