Mine train cars have started run throughs

[marni1971]

Ironic this isn't the only new ride in Orlando that's circuiting under ride power?

I don't know, I watched the video 2x and I didn't notice any swinging effect at all. Am I missing something?

Watch the first car the second the train comes into frame you can see a little bit of swinging. It's on a straight away at that point so the swinging isn't very pronounced but it is there.

Any thoughts if those cars in the video are going at the full speed they will when the ride is up and running? It may be my imagination but they seemed a tad slow.

I find that coasters often feel faster and more intense when riding them then they appear when watching.

While at MK today, October 25th, we saw the train cars make a run under their own power. I only saw it happen twice and from the bridge near BOG, but it's looking good.

I did take a quick video with my phone as I saw the second one come up the inside of the big lift. My apologies for the quality and that it was taken in the phone/ up and down direction. I waited a while to get a better video from the peek through windows but didn't happen again.

I hope this YouTube link works:




Good sign that they are already starting run throughs.

Thank you very much for the video, but please watch this PSA...

Rotating a small object 90* clockwise or counter clockwise is a simple quick motion.

When you're grabbing your phone out of your pocket with one hand while holding a bottle of water in the other, clicking the camera button and pointing it quickly as I saw the car come toward the top of the inside lift, it didn't even dawn on me to turn the phone until it was over. I know, it's a pet peeve of mine too, but I figured posting this was better than nothing as proof of this next step in this ride getting closer to completion.

I'm sure better videos will come in the upcoming days as the cars continue to make circuits that we can enjoy

See my original post where I offered a preemptive apology as I knew someone would bring this up

 

[CTXRover]

And we thank you for that.

You're all welcome.

New Harry Potter coaster?

Don't worry, it wasn't directed at you. You replied to my other post, I "liked" it, and moved on. General reply since I drew so much attention from others.

I'll be there tomorrow hopefully and will get pics/video if they are running.

Wow! And Scout is a "premium member"! I guess being premium is no guarantee that someone will stay classy!

Are people really moaning about the position of the video? Dear god, it's not like the video is flipped upside down.

Thank you for this video, it's the only one I've seen on the internet and appreciate very much. I wonder if they'll be doing this more.

Just having some fun. Thanks for posting either way

I only was able to see the effect when I upped the resolution to about 720! Try that and see if it helps!

I hope that you understand that I don't seriously believe that there is some higher standard for premium members. I just saw a bit of irony, that's all.

Really? All the time I spend making sure my posts are finely crafted olde world quality is wasted?

If you complain about the position of the video go to wdw right now and record a new version for yourself, if that isn't possible for you at the moment then don't complain

I can't do that so I'm happy for any angle video I can get, even if I have to stand on my head. ...which I also can't do.

I found this video today of the Mine Train going through more testing. You can really see more of the swinging motion around the halfway mark.

It's whisper-quiet for a coaster, too!

Looks like the middle cars get the most "swing" -- that's where I'll be!
