Slacking Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Grrrrrr....... at my expired pass and my lack of funds to renew! Nice pics Jose. Ride looks great! So was this the preview for Imagineers and other VIPs. I was in the MK on the evening of the Imagineers preview for Stitch. I sure didn't see lots of smiles when I watched people exiting the theaters inti the gift shop! Good to hear that response is positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 ^Yah, well, that was Stitch wasn't it lol. This morning was contractor preview (as if they havn't risked their lives enough, they are the first mass test subjects -- and their kids! hooray!) This afternoon is supposedly Imagineer preview. There is still rumored to be DAK cast preview Monday onwards. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacking Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 So who has been able to ride it so far? Sounds like just the contractors, imagineers, and I can imagine the higher-ups have ridden it so far. (and I can imagine Everest employees probably) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 There have been some folks from Asia, select cast members for the travel channel shoot as well. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Nagel Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Am I the only one who missed what the Yeti exactly does. I mean it seem like a lot of you know everything about it. But anyways this does look awesome and will really help boost AK's numbers. I mean hell I skipped it and i'm the biggest credit whore around. As much I want to ride this, i've decided to hold off on FL until Cypress gets it together and rebuilds Starliner. So damn them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maliboomer Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hopefully nobody has mentioned this yet, but a full, mildly crappy quality, POV of Expedition Everest has been posted at http://distantcreations.com/insidethemagic/. Don't watch it if you don't want to spoil the suprise. It looks fairly awesome, even if the camera is blinded frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 The 2nd video is MUCH better, not nearly as much glare and shaking. That looks amazing. I really like how the Yeti comes and rips up the previous track, so you are "forced" to make the 105' (supposed to be 88') drop into the ravine. The ride looks amazingly complex, you can see there is so much work that was put into it. The only thing I don't understand is why the Yeti is all the way at the bottom!!! Shouldn't the ACTUAL Yeti be right at the top Where you go down backwards? And speaking of the backwards part, what happens there? Thanks for the video, Maliboomer, I really enjoyed this thing!!!

BelizeIt Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Looks great! I can't wait to visit Florida to ride it! Disney has done it's job well and developed another great E-Ticket attraction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 It takes way to long to load! But other than that, the theming looks GREAT! If I didn't watch that video before I rode it, I would be scared out of my mind! I really don't like things that pop up/down during a ride. But thinking about it, Disney is genus on how they distracted the guests attention on that second switch back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Wow, I really am not sure how everyone is getting all that from the video. IMO, that video was terrible. It showed the head rest of the seat in front of you more than it showed the ride itself. Maybe it's just because I do videos, but all I can say is if that was the video *I* shot, even if it was an "exclusive" I actually wouldn't have posted it. From what I can see from that video, I think some of the themeing looks pretty decent. The ride itself doesn't look to be better than Big Thunder Mountain. And do you really fly by the Yeti animatronic that fast? I was totally underwhelmed by watching that video, but then again, that video sucked. I mean it REALLY sucked. I honestly can't say I got a feel for the ride AT ALL from watching that. --Robb "I guess other people are more used to seeing crappy video?"

maliboomer Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Here's the link to the better second video if it helps Rob, http://libsyn.com/media/insidethemagic/everest2.MOV. Right Click and Save Target As. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I thought it was great, then again, I'd be comparing that to my POV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J man Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Yeah I'm with Robb on this. You saw more of the guys head in front than the ride. But from what was there it looks like a cool ride. The headrests look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 video: bad the looks of the ride: I think the ride is better than what the camera shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Well, the 1st video definately wasn't that good. But the 2nd was alot better. You just can't stare at the horrible comb over of the dude in front of the camera LOL! But yeah, Robb, your videos are WAY better. I will now wait for a front seat POV to come out. Now, do you think that they will allow people to film onride during the PreOpening (28th-29th?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haux Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Why even post a POV if it's not in the front seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
