Once the height requirements were released, it became quite apparent it was a family coaster. However, I find it amusing that initially Japan was having trouble with speed and height of the carts, which apparently made it very scary and nauseating, but it’s clear they were able to fix it, which is probably why it appears so slow now.
@@matutake5401 That’s interesting and I’m guessing the reason for the asymmetric load distribution is due to the structural center relying of the anchor/support arm. So, it would make sense that the cart would predominantly favor rightward turns and that shifting that weight to the left side would cause unequal force and instability (thus the jittering).
In the un themed area I think it’s the camera , I saw another pov today you couldn’t see the inside walls or ceiling only the track. People riding it yesterday gave pretty decent reviews
I did the math first I counted the dispatches. I counted 9 seconds, but I also did 10 seconds in case it was an error. I did 60 times 60 to get the number of seconds in an hour. After that, I divided it by 9 and got 400. So there are 400 dispatches an hour and each car can hold 4 people 400 × 4 = 1600. If the dispatches are 10 seconds I did 3600 divided by 10 and got 360. 360 × 4 = 1440 So the capacity probably ranges from 1440 to 1600 an hour, which isn't bad. Please let me know if I did any step wrong. I was able to do the bath from another video that showed the station.
I mean the fact this ride even EXISTS is good enough for me. I think most of these people don't understand the technical limitations with rides like these (Dynamic Attractions sadly went out of business because their hi-tech rides couldn't open)
This ride needed to be fully indoor set in the mines. The new POV isn’t much different to be honest. I also think this needs to be slightly longer. Maybe they should build the one in Hollywood indoor?
Stop coming up with excuses guys. This is the finished product and you all know it. If this were Disney, you’d rightfully be tearing them a new one for screwing up such a great concept. To be clear, I fully understand that there’s a strong sense of betrayal with Disney’s decisions over the past few years and can tell some of you want to see Universal take the top spot away from them as revenge. But no matter how much you may personally want to see that happen, you should be able to put your biases aside here and acknowledge Universal’s attraction quality is still WILDLY inconsistent in terms of theming even if the lands themselves are otherwise very well done in that regard. Disney, at least for the time being, can easily fall back on the overall quality consistency of their pre-pandemic output as a competitive advantage to maintain their market share. Going forward, I hope you guys can report on Universal’s parks for what they are both good and bad rather than what you want them to be. Outside of the aforementioned attraction quality inconsistency, they’re generally designed to have a different appeal from Disney’s parks and are never going to be able to properly replace what’s being lost from them. If that’s what you’re looking for out of Universal, I’d kindly suggest that you put all of your eggs in the OLC basket instead.
I swear, does Disney pay people to go around and say "well Universal and Disney arent held to the same standard." Because this looks super fun, and well above the caliber of what modern Disney is capable of producing.
@@Heifer2997 I’m not being paid. I tend to watch and even subscribe to some of these channels because I’m just as disgruntled with some of Disney’s decisions as the people on them. That being said, none of my personal feelings change that Universal and Disney are in fact held to a different standard. In some cases, this different standard is completely fair. For example, you can’t be upset at Universal for being all about IP when their original slogan was “Ride the Movies”. However, there are other instances where one gets a pass where the other one wouldn’t just because of personal biases and this is a perfect example of that phenomenon. Also, Disney does have rides that are a on a similar caliber to this in terms of fun. Slinky Dog Dash immediately comes to mind and that’s actually a bit longer than this is. Yes, that ride is an example of pre-pandemic Disney, but a relatively recent example of pre-pandemic Disney nevertheless.
@@JRH-1007 The fact that you compared this to slinky dog dash, kind of proves that Disney is increasingly being given a pass. This ride is, empirically, WAY better themed and more complex than Slinky. I haven't ridden Mine Cart, but I'd rather watch the POV of this than ride Slinky Dog Dash (yes I have ridden Slinky) Slinky is more along the lines of the upcoming werewolf coaster at Epic. And even that looks better themed. And before I get accused of being called a 'Universal Stan' my favorite park in the world is STILL DisneySea. But as Disney fans we've just got to be honest with ourselves. The stuff Universal is doing is just better at the moment. I was absolutely blown away by my visit to Super Nintendo World.
@@Heifer2997 Yes, there are some people who give Disney an increasingly biased pass, but I didn’t use Slinky Dog Dash as an example to do so. I used it because I felt it fit the exact criteria you used to give Donkey Kong: Mine Cart Madness a pass. If we’re being objective here, neither ride is “empirically, WAY, better themed” than the other. In both cases, it’s mostly static figures and minimally animated props with the standout element being an animatronic set piece (Wheezy in Slinky Dog finale and Cranky Kong and Sqwuaks in DK queue). That’s in addition to the fact that both coasters seemed to be designed with a very similar level of thrill in mind. To be fair, I wouldn’t disagree that DK has the more complex ride system with the hidden track to make it look like it’s jumping. That being said, Slinky Dog still has its own advantages in both ride length and not going through a pitifully themed indoor portion. There’s also the issue of DKC having much more potential for a roller coaster than Slinky Dog. As Brer Oswald commented in the video, there are so many environments and elements from those games that weren’t utilized even though they should’ve been. Also, I tried to make a clear distinction between OLC and Disney owned parks my initial post, but since you’re bringing Tokyo DisneySea into this discussion as something in Disney’s favor, we can’t ignore the recent addition of Fantasy Springs. The Tangled and Frozen attractions blow this out of the water in terms of theming and are one of many reasons why I see OLC as the theme park operator people should be looking to if they want a proper replacement for Disney owned parks used to offer rather than Universal.
@@JRH-1007 No, if we're being objective, Mine cart madness is better themed than Slinky. Mine cart madness looks like a Donkey Kong level. Slinky is an outdoor roller coaster with some props scattered around it Six Flags style, but better produced. Perhaps the indoor section on minecart could be better, but now I've seen a few POV's and the indoor scene looks WAY darker than that first POV. Even if it weren't though it's still better themed than Slinky. I only brought up DisneySea to show I'm not a Disney hater. The OLC can still do amazing things, but to compare this to frozen, is also nonsense. As Frozen is an E-Ticket and This is a D-Ticket. This ride genuinely looks awesome and I think it's exactly what Nintendo and Universal wanted. A low height requirement family coaster (lower than slinky) with amazing visuals. I think they nailed that.

More like a Baby Coaster.😂
二度目の巻き上げ後ドロップに左折を挟むのですが、その時にたわんで振動を感じると聞きました。
恐らく基本右折しかしないのは、構造上支柱がある右側以外に負荷がかかると凄まじい振動に襲われるからですね。
やはり重心が右に寄っているようで、後列左側が一番遠心力を感じるそうです。
ほぼ自走しているので浮遊感は少ないですが、良くも悪くも振動が凄いようです。

yeah, I heard people praising it. I have no clue why people are so upset
This ride looks a bit herky jerky
I have seen the whole video of a new POV of the Donkey Kong ride. And yeah this ride sucks. Even a Carnival Dark ride is better than this ride. 😂
People who rode it say it’s a lot more thrilling then it looks
My issue with this coaster, is it looks like it will have terrible capacity. The land looks better than the ride.
I did the math first I counted the dispatches. I counted 9 seconds, but I also did 10 seconds in case it was an error. I did 60 times 60 to get the number of seconds in an hour. After that, I divided it by 9 and got 400. So there are 400 dispatches an hour and each car can hold 4 people
400 × 4 = 1600.
If the dispatches are 10 seconds I did 3600 divided by 10 and got 360.
360 × 4 = 1440
So the capacity probably ranges from 1440 to 1600 an hour, which isn't bad.

@@bryancurdi451
dispatches → 13 seconds
途中停車した場合は再乗車するオペレーションが取られています。
USJの場合は閑散期での総入場者数の1/5ぐらいは処理できそうですが、
実際は殆どの人がこれを目指すので、任天堂エリア自体への入場を整理券で制限しています。
Epicでも任天堂エリア自体の収容能力は多くなさそうなので、
入場者が多い場合はエリア入り口の土管を封鎖するかもしれませんね。
Man, even Mole Miner Max made the cut. He is more important to the DCK brand than King K. Rool.
The full POV is out now and looks much better
No it doesn't look better. It looks unfinished. Huge Disappointment.
@@hihellothere100 I mean if your really looking you can see the light access points in the tunnel but other than that it looks good.
I mean the fact this ride even EXISTS is good enough for me. I think most of these people don't understand the technical limitations with rides like these (Dynamic Attractions sadly went out of business because their hi-tech rides couldn't open)

Would have cost a stupid amount more if they built an entire building all around this ride and themed everything
