You would think that if they were going to build a coaster with swinging trains they would have checked clearances through and through. I guess that is another whoops. This link was emailed to me a few minutes ago from @brandglover twitter feed (is that the right name for it? SOcial Media is foreign to me).
This definitely isn't checking for swinging and if heads have an issue, this lift hill will be without swining. That system on the car is checking for arms, and how far arms can reach... as you can see... people can touch the rock... bad move Disney.

No, I don't think they were saying it will be a few months until it is open. I think they were saying it won't be open by May 3, but it will be open by the time he comes back in a few months. To me that suggests a late-ish May opening. JMO.

Glad to see your keeping the thread on topic, not devolving into a pointless debate with little to do with the subject at hand....
You thought the cars would be swinging on the lift hill? Gives your "bad move Disney" tons of credibility.

Still a good photo! Thanks for the update
Something else based on personal observation.Still a good photo! Thanks for the update
Looked through the planters at the entrance, and it looks as if the Fastpass+ Entrance Kiosk isn't even fully complete. Sorry, can't spoil that magic with photos.
As much as the fact they're just now having to check the arm span diameter of the ride. But keep trying to antagonize; truly is your forte....

Umm, I didn't say anything about me thinking they would have the cars swinging on the lift hill, I know they won't. I was commenting to all the people who thought that device was too check for swinging, making sure they knew it was to check for hands... Which as I pointed out, can touch the rock work.
But thanks for coming out and playing.

Looks like ride envelope testing. Could be some sort of auditing to ensure the attraction passes the final safety requirements... or could be explicit testing to validate/catch some concerns.

You mean the overflow queue? Ok, yeah, one area does... when it's used.. but we could say the same thing about Everest having some sides if you goto the ride areas that look like crap too.
Your attempt at a jab is kind of like saying Main Street is a bare industrial area... because sometimes they use the backstreets as overflow exits.

so.. the concern right now seems to be... the possibility of a dumbass trying to touch the rocks/surruondings as the carts move fast around the tracks?
I say dumbass, because I dont think kids will be able to reach that far.
I'm extremely disappointed you did not bring your $50,000 DSLR with your $20,000 USD lends to take a photo of these lamps!!
