I joined this forum because I love Disney but sometimes this forum seems like a popularity contest. Your not cool unless your bashing Disney or a "Well-known member." Sorry it's just kind of awesome to see them reveal details little by little and then once I read a post it's an instant buzzkill. I don't think everything about Disney is awesome, even thought it seems to be the general consensus if you say something positive. I can't stand Hollywood studios but Im sure not gonna go post and critique it every chance I get.

We're in agreement. What I was trying to say is that too much time, money, resources, etc. were placed on a few elements at the detriment of others.
What was above expectations? Nobody credible was saying they would reuse the figures from Snow White's Scary Adventures. These figures are right in line with what was expected.

In my head is this frightening image of what the dwarfs will look like if the face-projections fail. Imagine Dopey without a face!!! Talk about nightmare fuel...

I got a free minute and decided to replace the awful weird music in the Dwarf Animatronic video with "Heigh Ho" -- as you'll see, it worked especially well for Bashful (though he sings Grumpy's part, but I recall hearing the dwarfs voices are new recordings, so I'm sure that won't be the case in the ride), and generally suits the video better than whatever that random music was:

I think there is some revisionist history going on here. Up until a few months ago nobody on here was talking about projections for these AAs. What we heard were rumors of recycled figures from SW and/or animated figures that were not impressive or were nothing special. Only one guy who got himself banned said anything about the AAs being great or impressive or the best thing ever. He had no details and never mentioned anything about facial projections. If it's your opinion that you just don't like the projection technology or you don't like the AAs that's fair, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Any way you slice it these things were a bit of a surprise compared to what info we had.

And going on this forum and constantly praising something no one has ridden yet isn't kind of obsessive? Disney has released official pictures and videos for the public to see, judge, and comment on... Members here (and elsewhere) have posted their own personal pictures on here (and elsewhere) for us to see, judge, and comment on... So, we aren't supposed to comment? Or is it we cannot comment unless we only have positive things to say? Negative comments aren't allowed? Are people supposed to just fall in line like good little Disney minions?
People speak the truth about the condition of WDW, how WDW is run by TDO... I'm sure you have seen plenty of those threads and comments... There are people who just cannot handle it... The cannot hear (or read) of anything negative about Disney or WDW because it ruins their day, and their actions on this site (and elsewhere) prove it... Wonder why 74 (and others) say many WDW/Disney fans have a mental illness? Read their responses... Proof in the pudding... Some people just cannot handle the truth...
Heck, 74 was just attacked by someone because he dared speak the truth about Universal the other day... Uni fanboys aren't any better...

I've seen you post that a couple of times already... Who said they were just going to recycle figures from Snow White? I don't ever recall @Lee or any other truth worthy insider mentioning that, even as just a rumor... If they said it, can you please point it out? I may have missed them saying as much...
I do remember Lee debunking DC23 and his utter nonsense that these animated figures were going to be better than Ursula and the greatest things ever, until he was caught and called out then backtracked on EVERYTHING he said... Sadly he pulled people into his nonsense and had them believing him, only to be proven (now officially) to be a fraud...

Not all of us bash everything, and not all of us bash everything for the sake of just bashing... Many of us give praise when praise is warranted... Look at the positive comments about the new parade... Many of us here are praising the work they are doing to expand the Hub... Many of us have said WDI did a great job with the theme of NFL, but many of us feel they fell short with the substance... Are there some people being negative for the sake of being negative? Sure... just like there are people who are just being overly positive for the sake of being positive... There are people who just cannot give Disney any credit, and there are people who just cannot give Disney any negative comments... And then, there are some who just to way out of their way to defend all things Disney... I have said plenty of times, TDO can feed certain people dog food, and those DISNEY CAN DO NO WRONG people would brag how it was the best and most magical meal EVER!!!

It was mentioned on page 1 of this thread:
I'm not going back through hundreds of pages in the construction thread, but it was mentioned there too. I never said Lee or anyone else said it.
I still stand by my statement that the figures are a pleasant surprise based on the low expectation set here.

Really glad you did this. Definitely leaves a better impression of the AAs for me. As many have stated before, they may not be groundbreaking, but they look like they fit well for this kind of attraction. Of course, opinions will change once they're seen in the context of the ride as a whole. Still, I can't help but feel if NFL had a headlining E ticket attraction, LM and the Mine Train would have been received better.

You are spot on.

I can't imagine that there isn't a plan B. If the projection fails, the figure could just be programmed to turn away and just keep mining and whistling. No big deal and certainly not nightmare material.
Can't please everyone now can ya. It is what it is. Guess people like me aren't welcome here.

Very happy to see that I was proven wrong. This ride is shaping up to be exactly the kind of mid-tier attraction Disney should be building in the parks.

Or they will just throw a bag over their heads like they did with Madame Wardrobe.

The way it was being phrased by you in previous posts sounded like Snow White figures being brought over was considered "credible" info.
This thread had no purpose when first created since there are several others focusing on the mine train here. From how I read it, that post you quoted, I was hardly going to latch onto it and then believe Disney was recycling the figures. In fact, the post was written in a question format.
And besides, the general consensus regarding the attraction was not that they were bringing the figures over. That was an outlying opinion.
While I agree that the low expectations helped stimulate a positive response to the figures (I had even said that earlier), I don't think the low expectations stemmed from everyone believing that the figures would be recycled
