Incredicoaster Trial Runs

We’re here at DL with a room looking over CA Adventure. The coaster is running...sometimes with people on board, likely employees. Sigh. We leave tomorrow...

One coaster will come by and have maybe 1 or 2 people on it; the next a dozen. Running continuously as if in normal mode.

Well, I have to say as CA Screamin', it ranked up there with RNR. Looks not much different and just as fun.

Media Day I know a few Disney ‘social media influencers’ are posting

What's to test? Have they altered the track in any way?

Not to my knowledge, nor does it look so. However, when something has been out of commission for some time, it can't be readily assumed all is still copacetic. Sure has been a tease to see the ferris wheel lit up, the water filled back in for WOC, and coaster zooming nearby. . .

Everything was refurbed though. Need to test to make sure things are in working order.

Looks like media too and the DIS just posted a picture of Tyler in the car getting ready to ride (noted he is sitting next to a CM)

Yep media got in later. Day started with CM previews.

I watched a video of it. They have actually added audio and some light effects (and figurines) to the insides of the tunnels. It's really cool! I thought they were basically just painting it and changing the music, but it's actually pretty well-themed for an outdoor coaster. So I'm sure they had to test all that and make sure the timing elements are correct as well as making sure the coaster is still running as it should.

I’m pretty sure if you’ve at least lurked through my posts you might’ve seen my philosophy: “depends on the IP, depends on the type of attraction.” 9 times out of 10 it usually turns out good, this unfortunately felt like that one time out of 10. It was as the the incredibles were shoehorned in. If built from scratch and having more dedicated area set aside for show scenes it could’ve been less shoehorned but that’s for purpose-built attractions. It seems like a lot of good effort went into this with the sculpting, the lighting and the new preshow but I do think personally this was a let down from a refurbishment standpoint or an IP integration standpoint.

I watched the video yesterday and is an improvement over the original CS. I am just not a fan of wood mimicking coasters.

ETA: I just watched the night run and it looks so much better!

Was just going to post this video of a night run - agree, effects are much better

It literally looks like a completely different experience. Just goes to show that an attraction can have an alter-ego.
