XYZ Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Great video. I always enjoy these really bizarre videos that TPR does. Heck, I didn't even know this coaster existed before I watched this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceattack52 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hmm, lift hill or walking... lift hill or walking. I think walking would have been faster, but then look at the fun that would be missed. After a while there is no fun in a 5+ minute lift hill. Especially one going that slowly.

805Andrew Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It looks like there was another side that wasn't operating. I guess that credit is for a future TPR visit. This looks like a cool way to get up to the Great Wall, although painfully slow. And the guy wearing the Granmen hat did a good job safely navigating you down.

Hercules Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 SEAN Establishing trust is the most important component in making breakthroughs with a patient. Why Maureen? MAUREEN'S only response is an empty stare. SEAN Keep up the good work, Maureen. Vinnie? VINNIE Because trust, trust is life. Oh Great Wall of China? I thought you said Good Will Hunting...... Sorry.

Nrthwnd Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 First of all, there was a long, long walk up to the entrance near this part of The Wall, from where the bus parked. And honestly, after it was all done, all of us I am pretty sure, much preferred the way we went up there, on the alpine 'lift' coaster. There were still tons of walking to do, with a lot of steps, and all along the wall at the section we were closest to. And after that, everybody seemed pretty 'done' and really looking forward to just slow-coasting back down from it. (And the whole ride was included in our tour, too. Thanks Robb and Elissa!) And look what was waiting for us at the re-board station... Yum. But no can touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 while the theming within the mountain leaves a *lot* to be desired, it actually does appear to be faster than the real Matterhorn ride at Disney. was it actually faster? or is it just coming across that way? and it warms my heart a bit to see the skyride still operating out of the mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtafro Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Im just wondering how it compares to the real deal, speed, roughness etc; since i haven't ridden either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I got a bit of dizziness, watching it go round and round and round and... ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Looks like a painful ride in a knock-off Disneyland Matterhorn broke down right before I got to ride it so it's hard to compare both of them judging from the videos. This one seems a bit faster and rougher though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie200330 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It has a fish...Ok. A bird at the top of the lift....Ok. As for being a knock-off..sure looks more comfortable than the rest of the knock-off Chinese coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Warrior Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The ride itself doesn't look bad but just very boring. I don't know if it was just the video, but at some points it looked like if you put your hands out you would've touched the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 The ride does seem interesting. Of course, where's the Yeti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Actually looks like fun, though the theme has a LOT of room for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Very interesting. Surprised at how much it blatantly ripped of Matterhorn, but from what I heard Nara Dreamland was trying to be Japanese Disneyland in the same way Nagashima Spa Land tries to be Japanese Cedar Point. Aska truly didn't belong in a place like that, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
