Originally Posted By alisserae I rode the attraction two weeks ago when they were filming for various marketing materials.

While I do wish the attraction had ride-along audio (like on Screamin' and the new Space Mountain,) I thought the theming was superb, and they did a fantastic job on the que line. If this is supposed to be an "updated" version on the Matterhorn, I must say it is infinitely better than when they "updated" Indiana Jones to make the Countdown to Extinction attraction.

That doesn't seem that short as im sure the video was not on the entire ride. I would love for some of the people who always are trashing what Disney does would post what they think is great.
Originally Posted By demderedoseguys ^^ I don't think the atttraction is that short at all. For a high speed intense ride it is plenty long. According to my stopwatch it lasts 2 minutes and 40 seconds and it looks like it's a winner to me, judging by the screams I heard.

A few harsh "bust" comments wont affect me....See yah at Animal Kingdom!

The view of the Mountain, alone, certainly adds a whole new and welcome atmosphere to Animal Kingdom. ORWEN: And Orgoch already seems to have a crush on the Yeti creature--after conjuring up Jim Hill's web-footed site in the crystal ball the other night. ORDDU: Wouldn't it be wonderful if the two of them finally met and ended up living their own version of Brokeback Mountain?!

It did seem short sitting here at home, but I'm sure when I'm on it it will seem longer. That's why I said I'd have to wait until I'm on it to know. With regard to the projection part I seem to remember Steve pulling up track, but not actually attacking a specific train. Maybe I missed a bit!!!

Originally Posted By utahjosh I should have been more specific. I live in Utah, and probably won't get out to WDW for several years. That's why I won't ride it for many years. But I still say it looks way fun, and I'm really looking forward to it. However, it doesn't look like something revolutionary that will blow me away. It just looks really fun. I was hoping it seemed more revolutionary and breath-taking.

What rides you say? Rockin Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, Backlot tour (okay this one is dated but it still doesn't SUCK) and even Kahli River, and ofcourse Cali Screamin. All of these were suppsed to suck and be a bust and yet...I have no problem with them. The only ride I don't think a lotta people said sucked was Mission Space and as I recall even a few said that IT sucked. Thanks for the usual negative feed back, this will only serve to help me enjoy the ride MORE as I will go in expecting it to totally suck. This means anything more than absolute terrible will be a surprise for me so keep the negative commments coming.
