people can rock the cars themselves, no? Even when going straight.

Not sure, since I've only seen pictures and videos, but I'd guess a group of people could if they started rocking back and forth.
A bucket full of jewels probably could not on their own though.

Looks like the steps were extended as well as the railings moved further away. I thought the ride had an arm radius extending all around during walk through testing during main construction before all the decor and crap was added?
I remember seeing the weight/water dummy testing but I'm pretty sure we saw the above also. Maybe plans changed or it wasn't built with proper measurements the first time 'round?
Excited to see humans riding it, regardless. That's certainly a good sign.

The gems look different in real life
So when the mine car banks to the right it will shoot off at break-neck speed? Got it. Awesome! This ride is looking better. /sarcasm

After looking at the promo video, I take back all I have said about this not being "thrilling". This is an insane mine coaster. This looks to be a real "flinger".
I think the promo video makes it look more intense then it really is.
Yep it doesn't move anywhere near like that in reality.

I know, seriously. It implies that only gems are allowed to ride and not people.This artwork is beautiful.
I think the "video", if you wanna call it that, is pretty misleading.
Fingers crossed for you. I know how you feel.
When we visited Nov. 9-18/2012, NFL was in preview only. We were able to get in 3 of the 4 times we tried, and even scored a walk-up early dinner at BoG. I was beyond thrilled.
I hope you get to experience that same giddy feeling.

At that point, barring a massive failure, you will. It'll be open officially I believe on 5/2 at the latest.
As long as it has taken for this ride to open, we may actually need Gods help at this point. He has the only purple magic band.
