Am I nuts, or were there replies to this topic earlier today?

Anyway, I just saw this. Not much new info, but still interesting. They said that the ride will be a journey to the legendary Shangri-La and that the trains will seat 36 in a 2 across configuration, so there will be 18 rows. They said that the big yellow crane that's been on the site for a while is about the same height as the mountain will be.

They also went on a bit about the design of the area (genuine Asian posts, wow) and the new design software that was used. Not much detail on that, though.

Ya there was replies here hmmm that is odd.

Ya the coverage wasnt that EXCLUSIVE. I felt we knew more about it already from the boards here then they mentioned.

They did mentioned one other thing and 85 foot drop.

You know, for a 199 foot tall mountain, the ride kinda seems small...

They should of had it crawl to 170 ft. and then enter a 30 foot tunnel. Then it could have been Disney's first hyper coaster.

Then the perspective would be lost with the coaster up that tall in the mountain. Plus, where will you build the basketball course then?
