The cottage scene doesn't bother me at all. It will probably look much better at night being lit up from within. Plus it leaves you with a "watch out snow white!"/"to be continued" vibe.

I think it looks amazing!!
People look at all they did in the mine scene and how much it looks secluded while going through the "forest". It looks awesome. Yes maybe a witch peeking behind a tree would be a nice touch but I think it looks...yes AMAZING!! I assume that the cottage scene will be just as ..... amazing.

It's cute, but this isn't going to compete with the HP expansion at all.

Nor was it ever really intended to.

I'm, for the first time in a while, completely impressed by this. Granted, it is not a large ride, but judging it for what it is, it looks awesome. Maybe a little repetative with caves, mines, and mountains everywhere, but still looks awesome. Now all we need is a large dark ride of the same thought and quality and I will be happy.

I have to admit, for what this is, it looks spectacular.
I think you will be able to see more of the cottage than you see in these videos. Cameras provide a much more limited view than one of us would actually get. They can also easily play around with the timing there (and may very well do so to better allow for running multiple trains.

I'm no longer a Doom and Gloomer. I'm a proud Pixie Dust Snorter! Fantastic Job Imagineering! Now let's carry over this level of creativity to a New Avatarland, Star Wars Land, Carsland, Disney Springs and updates to Epcot, go on, get moving. Hey, will you pass me some of that there Pixie Dust?

Good point. If your train is stopped right here waiting for the previous train to unload/reload, you will likely get a touch more time to look at this last scene.
I think overall it is okay. I know it's not supposed to be a massive E ticket but I still feel like it is missing something. IMO the cottage scene is terrible and embarrassing, however the mine scene is great. Makes me wonder why they felt the need to keep the Barnstormer when they now have this in New Fantasyland.

Really I thought the second vid showed so much side to side rock I am almost wondering if I am going to like this coaster. But I loved the mine scenes and the music.

Totally agree. There are enough M&G.

IDK from the video... It did seem that the train stopped at the cottage. However, the back of the train has no view inside the cottage while stopped there. Then the train is pulled into the station extremely fast.

Don't you love it when a story just ends with no resolution?

I kind of felt the same. The mine scene is truly fantastic, well worth the ride. But that cottage scene felt lacking, almost distant. If the windows weren't as blurred out and the train slowed a little bit more as it passes by the cottage, the scene would feel a bit warmer. But I love the witch at the end and that elements of the old Snow White ride are incorporated into this one. It may not be a headlining attraction, but it is definitely a solid addition to the park. Also, after watching the POVs and rider reactions, I think we can put to rest any worries that the swinging won't be prominent, in fact it looked somewhat intense in the second half of the ride.
I feel they did a great job with this coaster. It's not suppose to be a huge thrilling ride. It fits fantasyland's age/height demographic. Could they have done more.....yes. You can say that with anything though. The Disney community ALWAYS has ways to improve a new ride/attraction. There are always going to be people to find ANYTHING wrong. Go and enjoy the ride for what it's worth and suppose to be.......a fun "starter coaster" for the little ones and the family. Judge the ride on the kids' faces who exit the ride. i'm sure they'll be smiles and giggles.

Yep, because no one has seen the movie... we have no idea what happens next.

Right, but at this point, I think they only had 1 train on the track at the time. There were I think only reports of multiple trains starting today. I feel like if there is a train there in load, the stop at the cottage might be extended a touch. It's all speculation of course, we'll see once people start getting on the ride for real.

That's why I enjoy watching it halfway through and then suddenly just turning it off. Extra fun when you're with people who actually haven't seen the movie of which there are probably a lot more than you think.
