Update November 23 Wednesday w. Scott (wdwscottieboy)
More great tidbits, mostly from Joan.
Loading time is actually (according to her) about 62 seconds. With a cycle time of about 4 minutes. She's been on it every day.
She's looking for a projected capacity of the upper 1800's.
They have 5 trains, but its hard to do that well. 4 trains is more realistic. They are actually hoping for a 6th.
The cue line isn't long enough according to her, but half of it will be air conditioned (hooray!).
The backwards section of the track reaches 40 mph! And lasts 20 seconds with a full helix according to her (complete dark) (my pictures don't show that, whatever).
The water falls have been run and tested, they just aren't on all the time.
There is supposed to be a snow effect on top of the mountain to give the blowing effect (off of a mountain).
There will be snow in the caverns.
The lift hill is variable speed.
As mentioned before in my previous post, the Yeti is at the end of the ride (Yeti EE that is).
The yeti is like bigfoot and about 20 feet tall. The animal is scary and not cartoonish and quite powerful. He's much more advanced than stitch (Scott asked this question).
Pics to come later (nothing new really).
Jose and Scott (sorry MKT, we were out while you emailed).
