This Mine Train coaster is soooo awesome, so much cooler than Expedition Everest.

^Agreed. Looks like a super fun, lengthy ride with some genuinely cool/unexpected twists.

Looks pretty nifty. Also, almost everything is cooler than Expedition Everest.

I don't care for the bear theme, and some of the track events are very visible (unlike on Everest, track changes are hidden). But other than that I think it looks much better than Everest.

That looks super awesome, apart from the fact that yeah, you can see the track changes. Other than that this ride looks great.

I just watched the POV the other day because it popped up in Suggested Vids, and I actually did not see the reverse drop coming on that second lift... So awesome, and they sure didn't hide it well now that I look, but for first time riders that would probably be badass.

Also love the launch. It's probably way faster than it seems too. The way they have the low-ground layout is beautiful.

I love that reverse drop. It's much quicker and more unexpected than EE. Looks like sweet, long coaster.

This kicks Everest's valley!
A big drop is a good drop.

It has a greater top speed than Everest, or am I wrong.
A big drop is a good drop.

good post jake, that was epic. saw the track switch piece before the lift which ruined the surprise, but we you return to forward travel it's a actually really fast. Got caught on suggested videos for like an hour, i rode Shock (Rainbow ML), Sky Rush, Takabisha and various others all over again lol.

Awesome ride! personally, I think both Expedition Everest and this ride both have their own qualities. They are briefly similar, but not too much. Both rides rule since I am a sucker for anything themed this heavily.

On a similar note, does anyone have the NL ride Thunderhead Falls? I think that's what it was called. I can't find it anymore and I just switched computers.

I would so much rather ride this than EE. I hate that the track switches are exposed, but the reverse drop is awesome. How fast is that launch, anyway? It looks like it's faster than EE's drop.

This looks pretty sweet but if china keeps going they're going to have more fake mountains than all of Disney combined
What are these for?
