Here's another ride video with the full queue walkthrough this time.
I've watched every video I could find and the pacing on this one I think is spot on (as far as it was designed). The very last musical cue has the ride vehicles looking at the rose, they rotate to face unload on exactly the last note and the doors pop open. Perfect!
Now all that said, a few comments (just my opinion of course)...
I was surprised during load while waiting to enter the first scene, you could hear the entire musical number from the first scene while waiting for the doors to open. I am sure it is loud, but I don't think you should be able to hear the first number before you even enter the first room. BTW - love how the champagne bottles pop and spray (looks like fiber optics) on exactly the right moment and stop on the right moment. That part must be sort of a think that would break.
Ice scene - hmmmm...I noticed there are some physical clouds hanging down in one video so that's good and the floor is initially lit in swirls. I think they need some additional lighting effects in this room since as others have said there is not much to see.
This video is the first i've seen with a good view of the transformation. Pretty neat seeing it up close.
As other have said, the lack of forward motion seems a bit of a weak spot in the attraction.
Finally - ball room....sort of disappointing for me. My wife asked why does Mrs. Potts look like a pig. That's what I thought also. I don't know what they could do to enhance this scene other than maybe some projections/effects outside the windows.
I've been to those parks, and I've seen the people there clap after an attraction - for something so new, they didn't seem all that excited at the end....Perhaps it was the masks that made it hard to gauge response.
