jarmor Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 One thing i noticed in the video. As it switches to the POV of the vertical lift housed inside the main building you see a dark sky, birds flying over head and lightning striking a sign that covers the hole (supposed to look like an escape route i guess. Anywho, i reckon that's a screen that actually play's that as you are going up. which is just ingenious, i hope there are more things like that inside. I hope that hasn't been said before but i'm not going to read every comment on all 32 pages hehe. From what I was told while at the park, yeah its just a rumor, but it is suppose to be a lit fuse going up on both sides of the wall as you are going up the lift hill that causes an explosion (seen in the video) at the top of the lift hill then it is suppose to be an explosion as you exit the building (kinda goes together after looking at the track and how it looks like the train will be a flying object coming from an explosion). But that information isnt confirmed by anyone just what was said when talking to an employee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memphismass Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 There is a new video on the Mystery Mine site that has an interview with a designer from Gerstlauer as well as some nice shots of the construction site: http://www.dollywood.com/mmine/progress07.htm Also I was snooping around the site a little bit and found the music that will be played in the que for Mystery Mine: http://www.dollywood.com/mmine/mmine-qmusic.mp3 I kinda like the way they incorporate details in the story of MM (the dangers of whistling in a mine) into the que music.

That's weird, because I had never heard that. I thought the Adam's Family coaster was going to be a B&M. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheArchfiend Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Wow, this ride is looking way better than I thought it would. And since this is a Mystery Mine does that mean the car is the Mystery Machine Mobile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Dood Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 That has to be the tiniest itty bittiest 90 degree turnaround I have ever seen in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 i guess rotten themed truck rides are going to fit the name of 'Mystery Mine' because the track scheme is also looking like kinda ancient..... the track concept is really loopy and twisty. i was not thinking the park would be going to put lots of loopings on it.

Great pics, but we have already seen them. ^^ They do show how great this ride looks though, it's a shame I won't be able to ride it for a long time yet. Great themeing especially, why can't they do something like this at Thorpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesdillaman Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I don't understand why so many people underestimated this ride, unless they haven't been to Dollywood lately. I've found their rides to be well-thought out and fairly well-themed. I don't even have to mention how fun they are. I'm STILL excited about this ride, as I have been since day one. -james dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 ^Yeah, somehow the Hershend's are just now coming into the limelight, and they're coming out in force. Just back in 2000, not too many a person really knew much of SDC or DW as they only had a couple of coasters a piece. Now suddenly, with WildFire, Powderkeg, Thunderhead, and Mystery Mine, the Hershends have somehow rocketed to enormous heights in quality and sheer size so suddenly that many are just now starting to notice. Yup, the next decade of the amusement industry might just see the Hershends begin to dominate. They do have a seriously impressive formula of incredible thrill rides mixed in with unparalleled atmosphere and total experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr.gumbo Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Dont know if its been told yet but theres a new video about the construction on MMs website www.dollywood.com/mmine/MMine-Construct.html I also change my mind about how the ride looks to being phenomenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happened? It's a good thing you posted the correct link so people can see it if they haven't already. **EDIT** - Well I just figured out what's wrong. You have to click on the picture to see the new video. If you click on -"Designing a Ride" Franz Maier, Gerstlauer- then it takes you to the old video. Oh well.

I always expected to see a great ride to be built it's just that the look of this ride and the "rumors" about this ride have more than over-impressed me at this point. I've thought from the get go that this ride should be getting the most new ride hype for the upcoming year but Maverick is just stealing the spotlight thus far. But that's to be expected when Cedar Point builds a new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
