Our rating:
Very good - and quite wild.
This is a magnificent example of what Disney do best - the wild 'coaster ride which looks much worse than it is. In this ride, even the queuing is an attraction. Shuffling past genuine tents and '40s vehicles and on up into what appears to be a ruined Mayo temple flanked by gigantic stone Cobras you see a rickety, Heath-Robinson type construction which you realize - with some horror - is what your life - literally - depends on. Disney have recreated the near-to-collapse mine train from the film so well that you have to be looking very hard to see the modern steel rolling gear and the advanced safety systems, disguised, as they are, by old planks and masses of rubble. Since altering the ride so that you experience it backwards, queues have reduced somewhat. This is possibly because the 360o turn is very tight and - backwards - even the strength of the average teenager is tested over a couple of visits.
This is aFastPass Ride.
