This ride was slow and boring. If it wasnt for the scenery i wouldve given it a 1. I mean, come on disney! At least put ONE thrilling roller coaster. I thought this ride was a complete waste of time. Im not sure about MK being the "Best Park".

Oh come on, its better than a three!

OMFG! The scenery alone gives it a 5. The other 5 comes from an enjoyable ride. Now lets see, 5 and 5 = 10, not 3.

Doesnt this ride have three lifts? If so, I dont see how you could say it is short.

Thats because its not.

The ride isnt short but it is boring and doesnt deserve the 10 tacoking says it does, I would give it a five for the overall ride.

ok, it is slow, and it is boring. it isnt short if you count the lifts, but i dont... only the first one. IMO, scenery isnt everything. Ok... you convinced me... ill raise it to 4, the overall of our opinions.

Dang we got some stupid people here.

The ride is the fastest, biggest, longest, most exciting, and best mine train EVER!!! It deserves much more than a 3.

Like a 10. I dont see how it is boring.

Actually MovieCoast TM is the 7th fastest, 5th longest mine train. TM was the most thrilling coaster ever..... When I was in Kindergarden! I cant see how anybody can honestly give this ride a 10! This ride has two things to offer: scenery and ride time.

Theres 3 things: GREAT scenery, a pretty fun ride, and then ride time. all that equals a 10.

Ten isnt divisible by three. The only semi-exciting part is the helix coming off of the second lift.

Umm...ok. Arent we are the hotheaded one? You dont have to be so uptight, you know. It wasnt built for thrillseekers and if you cant see that, then theres no point of you going to DisneyWorld, or especially not DisneyLand.

Dude, I know its not built for thrill seekers. If it was it wouldnt be a disney. Its a family ride. I still find it exciting. You cant get a ride like that on any other coaster.

No you cant. Its the wildest family coaster Ive been on. Disney does build intense coasters though (i.e Space Mountain @ DL Paris and California Screamin), they just arent in Florida.

Thats not entirely true, they have rrc @ mgm. other than that theres not any exiting disney coasters in Florida. Hopefully Expedition Everest @ Animal Kingdom will be a good ride.

Rockin Roller Coaster isnt intense though. The launch is intense, but not anything else cuz of evil trim brakes.

Ya, your right. But thats as intense as they get at Disneyworld

Ok, let me rephrase. If you want an intense coaster DONT go to MK.

Thats a given

Well, the coasters there may not be intense, but theyre great. Space Mountain is very thrilling, but not very intense as is Big Thunder Mountain, and I think theyre both better than Rock N Roller Coaster.

The theming of Thunder/space mountain builds alot of the excitment of the ride. Both have great theming to them, even though space mountain may be do for a renovation on some its theming. If you took the theming out youd have two bad coasters. But thats what Disney does best, good theming. I also agree on the Rock N Roller Coaster comment.

Disneys best ride is its a small world.

youre on glue.

hahahahaha

Its a small world after all.

its a world of laughs and a world of chher its a world of calfs and a world of beer... or something

ok, just stop there.

I wasnt talking to you, tacoking. I was saying that to swimace.

I never judged Disney on the intensity of their rides because, first of all, they JUST pulled into that business. The quality was what got me. Some rides have are absolutely devoid of any theming or atmosphere at all and just go straight for the thrills (Titan-SFOT and most of the Cedar Point coasters are my examples of this). There is definitly nothing wrong with that but, like Ive said before, it would be better if the whole package was there. Disney goes a step above and everyone knows it. Thats probably why a lot of their coasters (old and new) are so re-rideable, even though most hardened coaster fans could fall asleep on them if they wanted to (Rock n Roller Coaster and Tower Of Terror are exceptions to this. Especially ToT. I think that ride totally brings you into the experience, creating , arguably, the most enjoyable ride ever built. I havent heard of one person has come off dissapointed completely)

What were you saying to swimace Magnum?

I confused whos saying what to me?

Thats exactly what I want to know lol.

[As stated in message #12] Umm...ok. Arent we are the hotheaded one? You dont have to be so uptight, you know. It wasnt built for thrillseekers and if you cant see that, then theres no point of you going to DisneyWorld, or especially not DisneyLand. (Now I feel bad. Swimace is probably going to ask me why I said that next...)

That was confusing since you said that 16 messages later.

You already said that in message # 13, do you have a point or did you just feel like saying it again 16 messages later.

Oh well no big deal. I found Space Mountain better.

Ya, I agree

I was repeating what I said because in message #32 you said what was I saying to you. Anyway...

Ok that didnt help, but anyways, those dark coasters are fun.

actually I agree that this ride doesnt deserve a 10 but not a 4 either.

that isnt the way i rate the rides. IMO, a roller coaster is supposed to be thrilling. if its not, it gets a low rating. i dont like unthrilling roller coasters, because theyre not roller coasters; theyre kiddie rides. WHEEE! im go up and down. not tooo thrilling. i obviously donot like kiddie coasters, or kiddie rides.... which is why i dont go on them. the only one i like the carousels and some other stuff. so go ahead, yell until my face gets ripped off. im still not changing the rating. i donot mean to get all hostile, but you guys just really get me mad when you crash on someones opinion. im aiming mainly on tacoking, just so you know.

Where I think you miss the point is a ride should be rated in the category it is trying to fit into. BTM is not competing with Apollos Chariot or Alpengeist it is a 30+ year old coaster and that is how it should be rated. Is it a 10 no way, is it a 4 no way but the beauty of the site is we are all entitled to our opinion. And on a typical day the 45 minute wait for this ride tells me there are more people who rate it a 10 then a 4.

Come on Chet this ride atleast should get a 6, take care.

Ok, this ride is pretty boring and comparatively slow, but it is definitely not short! How can a ride be short and have two or three lift hills?

I gotta go with sfgfan on this one

its my opinion, and youre not going ot change that

I know that. Im just arguing my point.
