Thanks for sharing-- I enjoyed watching that. Really cool technology. I like the ability to turn your head and look at things and record what you are looking at. Also, I don't want to make the trip to Florida, but like being able to vicariously experience other versions of classic Disney rides.

There are two other effects that I'm sad didn't make it back after this refurb: The bathtub doesn't rotate anymore, and they still didn't get those possums spinning.

This made feel as if i was actually in the car and riding the Mountain. That's some piece of equipment. More info on that please Robert.

Nice picture…

I am hoping you do not use this new toy to take ‘Adult’ videos.. hahahhaha

Nice video. Did the camera do all the exposure changes from inside to outside and back automatically? What kind of settings were they?

Actually the Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland CA still has that effect. I went last month and it was still there.

Robert, I must say, the quality of that camera is amazing. And the auto iris has a smooth transition.

From Robert Niles on November 20, 2012 at 12:26 PM
The camera was all in auto mode throughout. I think the flat lighting of the overcast day probably helped with the indoor/outdoor transitions, but I'm not an optics expert.

@ Tom:

I rode it two weeks ago and the Possums spun for me!

What was more disappointing was that the geysers/rock pools at the ride's end weren't working so the grand finale was a shuffle past some empty basins....

Generally speaking though the ride looked great and is still a classic piece of Disney - mild enough to be family friendly, but detailed enough and thrilling enough to give seasoned enthusiasts a good time :)
