Very cool ride....looks like a run thrill...would not mind this in some way at DCA..we can only dream
The ride looks like a lot of fun. Wish the video would have shown aview of the town from the mine cars. Disneyland's Big Thunder is similar to this. It would be cool if an some sort of confirmation of the rumored DCA mine train were to appear soon.
This ride has me chomping at the bit to visit Hong Kong disneyland, even more than i have already been.

You betcha. Here's an unbearably cool brand spanking new daytime video that was just posted on YouTube. At this point, this is the only daytime vid, and there have been only 66 viewers.

Re: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars At Night
Very awesome. I wish that it was in Disney's California Adventure though That would be pretty amazing and totally worth having to navigate around the annoying construction walls.
Just saying, Disney should consider gracing California with this coolio ride.
I think that I'm just a little jelly because we don't have this ride... because that ride is that awesome.

Re: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars At Night
Now that I've seen the daytime POV video, I have three "concerns" - and these are very petty, so I'd love to hear some feedback from those who've ridden.
1. It seems tame. I expected it to be tame, like BTM tame, but BGM seems tamer, with the track's composed primarily of banked turns. I'm guessing the backwards and the launch sections should make up for it. But are there drops that make feel like your stomach's dropping from within you?
2. In the daytime POV, the mountain looks smaller than in the night shot, oh well. Seems silly to care. Anyone else notice this? Or is it more due to the position of the rider when the video was taken?
3. Is it me or does the ride look slower than Space Mountain? I don't mind SM speed, so has HKDL released any info how fast this is? Or is it just because there are multiple pauses in the ride that it never gets to build up as much speed as other coasters?
BTM was one of my favorite Disney rides, so I'm still very psyched to ride this...maybe next year.

Keep in mind that, on video, roller coasters usually seem slower than they actually are. Another thing is that on Space Mountain they have fans blowing in your face so it seems like you're moving faster

It seems to me like Big Grizzy Mountain would be a perfect fit for the Grizzly Peak aea. It would be trippy to see the water flume and coaster interacting with one another.

Yep. Space Mountain is designed extremely cleverly ao as to create the tricky sensation that one is travelling at a much greater speed than they are.

I'd say both coasters have comparable intensity. Big Thunder has a larger and more elaborate set area.
2. Inthe daytime POV, the mountain looks smaller than in the night shot, oh well. Seems silly to care. Anyone else notice this? Or is it more due to the position of the rider when the video was taken?.
i noticed this, too. Curious.... Perhaps your thought that the position of the rider could account for the difference in perception as to the size of the mountain.
3. Is it me or does the ride look slower than Space Mountain? I don't mind SM speed, so has HKDL released any info how fast this is? Or is it just because there are multiple pauses in the ride that it never gets to build up as much speed as other coasters?
BTM was one of my favorite Disney rides, so I'm still very psyched to ride this...maybe next year.
Perhaps Big Grizzly isn't quite as fast as Big Thunder. But then, Big Thunder doesn't have a backward moving element.

I love your questions , siredge.
1. GG BGM has Very smooth and tamer track, it won' make you feel bad or headache after the ride. But BGM also has more drops than BTM, it make you scream and laugh but won't make you scare with. And the drops make you feel like flying but not scary, i love it! In my opinions , I didnt feel good about BTM track ,every time after I ride it, I was headache and have to rest for few minutes , and my back feel little painful, but BGM won't has this problem .
2. The mountain not bigger in size in fact but bigger than my expecation before i went there. but in different position , you will found that BGM looks bigger and wider especially at night . From entrance in GG surely it' looks bigger, but in BGM entrance it look bigger , but one more thing is you can see the BGM head in everywhere of the GG.
3.the ride is fast as SM in the beginning, but after backward, you feel like you re flying through the land with two lovely drops, it's a special feeling and hard to tell , just very funny but not scary.
but after exposion at power hole, the mine car is insane high speed! It's high speed as space mission two in DLP beginning and screaming coaster in Californina. And there are at least two drops as I remember. High speed as flying! It's really great!
The daytime video looks slower than night time video , but when you ride it, it's faster.
---------- Post added 07-02-2012 at 12:13 PM ----------
And in my opinion, although I love BTM too , but GG BGM is really much more exciting , tamer, smoother, lovely , speedy, theming , I love BGM over than other Disney coaster. Its something like space mission two in DLP makes you want ride more and more, yes I rode six times .
BGM and BTM is different in track system , BGM is nearly like or the same as EE track, but it's really smooth !
In my opinion, I didn't think BTM is the exciting ride from the first time I rode it to the last time I rode it .it's not my very favorite coaster in Disney maybe because of the little boring track system and uncomfortable feeling each time I rode it. Please note that it's my opinion only, please don't mind! Lol
BGM is the funny, lovely, exciting but not scary ride from the first time until six times , but I still want ride more and see more in the ride.
