Because the longer the wait the higher the anticipation and expectation. You build something up, and if this is just a cute ride many could be dissapointed. I know when I say I am not alone in that train of thought.

The Mine Train 'temper your expectations' thread
- Thread starter ptaylor
- Start date
I still think they should have left Snow White's Scary Adventures open until the Mine Train was completed...but gotta have another M&G location
I agree. Plus, they should've left Mr. Toad's Wild Ride open until Winnie the Pooh was never built.

Yeah, probably half that start to finish.

If anyone is expecting the ride to change or be improved somehow because it hasn't opened yet then I agree they will be disappointed. The extended construction time is not because they are adding anything to the attraction or enhancing it in any way. The layout of the ride and the plans were leaked a long while ago and the finished product looks pretty much exactly in line with the drawings Lee posted here a long, long time ago.

Well, after seeing the Mermaid ride, I've already tamped down my enthusiasm over the Mine Coaster quite a bit. It'll probably be full of visible mechanics and plastic dwarfs...

You know what's funny?
I am thinking you will get pleasure if 7DMT is a dud, and will give it no credit if it turns out to be great.

On the contrary. If I love the Coaster as much as I love Be Our Guest, I'll be ecstatic, and will trumpet my esctatic-ness on this board. Stay tuned...

Yeah, I am super psyched to see be our guest for myself and I would LOVE, I mean LOOOOOOOOVE for this ride to be an instant classic but we haven't had one in so long, its hard to be positive. Pixie dusters seem to think we are doom and gloom but I want nothing more than another ride that captivates my attention like haunted mansion does.
For a moment, I envision myself coasting through a diamond mine with amazing effects of the likes I've never laid eyes on, smiling from ear to ear while rocking back and forth in my mine car racing through the mountain, life like animatronics singing and dancing, surrounded by scenes of such intricate detail that the outside world ceases to exist and I'm transported into a magical wonder land!......Reality quickly slaps me in the face as I remember that WDW is ran by people who only receive that kind of happiness from profits and bonuses and would rather build a new hotel than expand a dream of a magical place created by someone with more vision than they could ever afford to buy.

After I posted that, I started thinking how slow the train cars were moving in the videos that we've seen so far and ran a stopwatch timer on my phone and tried to think how long it would actually take...

No shot it will be on par with HM. I don't think instant classic is likely, but it could be a fun little addition to MK. I think it could become a must ride attraction for me, but is unlikely to be a true headliner.

Plastic dwarfs at least trump cardboard cutouts
I really hope the 1 main show scene is actually well done and has good AAs. With Mermaid there are a whole lot of moving parts but this only has a few so they should be well done.

You assume that everyone is in the know that the average guest doesn't think about that, many of my passholder friends aren't in the know like any of us. All they know is that the ride has taken this long to build so they expect it to be fantastic. They keep thinking its going to be the next it ride, when frankly its not. So yes time does have a serious perception on peoples expectations.

I guess they didn't think much of Transformers
. I doubt the average guest has any idea how long construction has taken, but we could go around in circles all night. I guess we should just agree to disagree

That metaphor works perfectly, if it took a year to make a fantastic ride my goodness Disney must be making a doozy then. I guess agree to disagree indeed.I guess they didn't think much of Transformers

Indeed. And the Tower of Terror - the Imagineers' last really great attraction.
Be Our Guest is delightful - it has a genuinely magical atmosphere, and the food (at least the dishes I tried) is excellent. I do hope that TDO commissions a better Beast suit though, for when the Beast is presented as "your host" and visits with the guests. He looked positively shabby the last time I was there...

I tend to think kilamanjaro version1 was the last great one but yeah, its been a while.

I'm sure the Beast was just as appalled and disappointed with the shabby attire of his guests dining in his Ballroom. T-shirts and flip flops, oh my !
