Crush's Coaster

britincgn · June 07, 2007, 12:32:14 PM

I doubt if the waiting time will be too long in the future.Remember it was a preview and I noticed everytime they had a breakdown they spent a lot of time writing everything down for future reference.
Also without a fast pass everything should go faster anyway.
Did anyone see the Hidden Mickey?
Also loved the cue line in the main building(keep your head ,arms,legs and fins inside the vehicle at all times

My bet is that the waiting line will be as long, if longer, than last weekend. The capacity of the attraction is very low. Add the major breakdowns and you'll get a line approaching those of Peter Pan's Flight. I hope I'm wrong though.

Crush will be a ride to do first in the morning or last in the day, in order to avoid the queues...

It depends on how much weight your party is.

My mum is 14 pounds and my dad is 16 pounds but he has a shoulder problem and he may not ride.

So just think if your family was overweight and your family was on the ride with you, you might be zooming over 100mph.

I found the hidden Mickey first time. It is one of the floating mine just after the jelly fish.

A friend of mine working at WDS told me that DLRP is thinking to slow down a little bit the ride as a lot of people got kind of disea during the testings cause there is no fix decoration inside the dark ride and you cannot fix a point. You spin and spin and spin....

If they slow down the ride then it will have almost no interest left, as the fun of the ride is the only sure thing in the coaster. There will be nothing to look out for to compensate. Furthermore, I don't know how they could do it, sure they have break zones, but it already slows the vehicles too much for me

Well - in my honst opinion, the turning actually makes the ride a lot more comfortable; imagine if the vehicles didn't turn in the shar turns, you would certainly have way too much lateral G-forces working on you to make you feel comfortable.

It's just in people's minds that the turning makes you sick, as it actually contributes a lot to the comfort of the passengers

I wont get to ride it for a couple of years or so now. Our holiday was booked and paid for long before we knew the exact dates of opening for the new rides. I was in the studios park on Tuesday and both crushes coaster and cars were open and running but they were special invite only so we didnt get to ride them :cry:

tubbsy · June 09, 2007, 11:59:46 AM

Well, its the official opening.

It will be interesting if the height will be 1m07 with a parental warning given. Its a bit late for me to ask if they would do that as its all open and running, but dont they do that for Pinnochio or Snow White in Disney Park?

It seems that the queue for Crush's Coaster was already about 2 or 3 hours long this morning at 10:10 am. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad sign, especially with the low capacity of the ride in mind.

Didn't they make a special event to open the Toon Studio just like Buzz Lightyear with the Laser guns and the Green Soldiers and the Green 3 eyed monsters. It would be strange if they don't had a special opening !
