The ride is looking quite promising! Definitely takes the best of Thunder and Everest and packages it together with it's own unique twist! Love the trains!

Actually, after I saw the video of this coaster, I immediately thought of
this being (could be) like the MK's Dwarves Mine Coaster.... on steroids, LOL!

If you're expecting this to be similar to 7 Dwarves you will be miserably disappointed. 7 Dwarves looks very nice and the highlight of the Fantasyland Expansion, it is much tamer, with no launch, no backwards section and simply put an more kid-friendly layout.

I know more about donkeys than women!

The ride looks amazing! Dare I say that it's so good that BTMR at either DL or MK should be flattened to make way for this?

Why flatten DL's when there's a Grizzly themed section of the park across the street dying for an E ticket? :P

I honestly don't believe its so different/improved from BTMR that its worth flooring one of the largest, most immersive coasters on the planet.

Wow, looks fantastic!
Vekoma have really been making some awesome rides in the last few years. They've long passed the days of crappy loopers and SLC's. Hopefully.

This B&M donkey is so smooth!

Wow, that looks really cool! I haven't been following this one and the reverse section took me by surprise for the first time in quite a few years! :br

Daytime ride looks great!
And I love the little geysers area
between the backwards and forwards
parts of the track layout.

But actually? I think the night-time ride
is going to be more fun, in comparison.

Anyway... great, great, woo hoo!
