That is the first time a actually saw the mine car rocking... at the end as they cross the bridge.

I have to admit I'll be surprised if the rocking effect remains in place for any significant period of time.

well the whole point of the rocking is the weight differential between rider inboard and rider outboard, so you will NOT see much rocking with an empty, balanced ride vehicle

I'll be surprised if it doesn't as it is an integral part of the coaster design. The curves and banks are configured for the swinging carts. Without the swinging it may be an uncomfortable ride.

I agree,even with TDO less than stellar maintenance record, I agree.

So it looks like the "mine entrance" at the top of the first lift hill simply contains a mine cart and not any AAs/show scenes like previous thought (some suspected it might be a location for the Evil Queen).

In my experience, all other "keys" take backseat to efficiency. Safety included.

Are you a cast member? I am and have a much different experience than you do. What you may perceive as being efficiency taking the lead is misguided.

I have rarely experienced efficiency taking pole position at Disney.
Lack of safety means the potential of huge expenses. They don't like expenses.

I was. Then I got sick of it and left.
If they valued safety, they'd fix the ramming cars at TTA, put lights on the stairs at Stitch, upgrade the camera system at COP, and enlarge the rockets on Astro Orbiter.
Betcha can't guess where I worked most of the time.

That sounds more like management not doing their part. I am in monorails and let me just say that safety is definitely what comes first. I find that any variance is due to management of a particular department, not Disney as a whole.I was. Then I got sick of it and left.

Amen. My girlfriend worked the Jungle Cruise and Liberty Tree and had few safety issues, and I also worked Entertainment, and I didn't have those issues there. Though efficiency definitely overtakes courtesy in Entertainment now.

Great pics! Thanks for posting. Were these taken today? Were they running the trains?

Sure does... Are we shocked?
Oh Alissa - you are adorable.
I so have my fingers crossed that the ride is open for you.

we can't get mad at something that was never actually confirmed. I thought the talk of a Dopey AA was tied to the mine cart inside the ride? Not something outside.
