SPOILER: POV of 7DMT

[ArwenMarie]

It looks great for what it is supposed to be!

 

[Liljo22]

Yup!!!! You can see it's not the full video. It looks real nice though.....much better than I expected!!!!! I'm still hoping to see Snow White!

I believe Snow White is in the cottage scene at the end that is suppose to be the party scene in the movie.

It's strange that Disney would post a POV of the ride before grand opening. Have they ever done this before? I can't figure out if the purpose is to generate hype or temper expectations.

CM were telling people on sat in front of entrance to sdmt 2 months more before it will open. They were saying at first it was middle may but problems have caused a delay. Workers were on tracks were working on rails.

Wait til the comparison with Gringotts begins!

You mean this ole thing?

How long did this take again? Oh, yeah....

And just what is up with the Rapper Dwarfs (with nifty shades to boot) being filmed for the commercial? Seriously?

Wait? It only took 17 posts into a 7DMT thread on the WDW theme parks attractions and strategies forum.....

Never mind, misread.

This again?

Why are you not all over the posts that talk about non Disney theme parks in a way that is flattering to Disney? Still just as off topic. Not to mention, comparisons and talk of Universal are allowed here, like a mod told you already.

For the 400th time this week, it's not that it's not allowed or that it shouldn't be.

But we're talking about a partial video of a ride no one has been on yet and it already has been (negatively) compared to a universal ride that no one has been on yet.

On a thread ABOUT the Disney ride. It took 17 posts for someone to bring up Universal. It's compulsive, I tell you.

I didn't bring it up first at least. I figured there would be more fawning over this coaster video. Huh...

It's only going to get waaaaay worse once Gringotts does open. I would probably prepare oneself now.

I'm sorry, I'm not aware of those posts. If they popped up in every WDW thread, I'm sure I'd notice. Until then....

Yep, it's amazing how much they can do in such little time in comparison to Disney and the quality of the ride and experience is equal.

Disney is so old school and they figure, people are going to come no matter what, so we aren't in any rush and we don't need anything new.

Sooner or later it will catch up to them and bite them in the rumpus

Well, to be honest, A&E is causing all out mayhem at MK on a daily basis and those are just characters! It's not even a ride. Don't underestimate the power of "the brand."

It may not wow you (or me,) but clearly it's drawing in the crowds.

 

[disneynewbee]

Is that the actual speed it will go? My youngest is a pretty big sissy when it comes to rides. I wanted her to see the dwarfs but was afraid she wouldn't get to since it was a coaster but I'm thinking she'll do this.

So this is the end result of 20 years? 20,000 leagues closed 20 years ago.

I know next to nothing about 7DMT, how long it's been in the works, etc...but the dark potion looks AWESOME to me!!!! Love those shiny gems. Going to WDW in Oct, gonna FP+ it and gonna have a blast

 

[UpstateMick]

Um...that's it? wow?

 

[DOOM1001]

Um...that's it? wow?

Are you overwhelmed or underwhelmed?For me it's basically what I expected,it's a nicely themed junior coaster with a dark ride section.It's a good addition,it's going to be mayhem trying to get on this thing without a FP+ but it should make getting on the other major rides a tad easier.I am a little upset if I don't get to ride it on my trip May 14th.I was expecting to do at least one or two of the major rides opening at the parks,7DMT at MK,Falcon's Fury at Busch Gardens and the Gringots coaster and Hogwarts Express at the Potter addition at Universal.I knew from the start the Universal ones would be tough,Falcon's Fury was supposed to open tomorrow May 1st but now is delayed and last I heard 7DMT will open late May but a soft open is still possible.I'll be checking these boards and other news sites up until my trip to see what I can ride,if anything,otherwise I'll be waiting until my next trip in August after some kids go back to school.
