I saw a pic for the train recently, does anyone have pics of the ride itself and any additions/sites throughout the ride?

Looks like a few posts just got lost, so I'll repost mine...

It's incredibly cheesy...

Here are a few caps from my camcorder.

The ride isn't nothing special, I like the ride w/o the sound system.

I hate to be negative, but ya know...

I was rather dissapointed with the whole ride.

First of all you can't even hear what Dora is saying the whole ride the volume needs to be turned up.

Then all the ride is is riding by "cardboard cutouts" of people and things from the show.

And then the lame thing is at the end she says we "saved the rainforest". Uh how is that possible. lol

Then there's this annoying song at the end "We did it! We did it!" That will stick in my mind forever.

I was very dissapointed. I hope that's not the "finished product".

You have to remember that the ride is for little kids that do not go to school. It isn't ment to impress us.

It is ment to impress 3 to 5 year olds not whole families. :rolleyes: Think about it, what times is Dora shown?

I watch it with my son sometimes and it sounds alot like the show. It is meant for the Toddler age group and the "We Did It" song is crucial for Dora... unfortunately. I am happy there is more theme than before, but I was expecting a little bit more than some cut outs. Still, I know my son will LOVE this change to the train. Thanks for the pics.

I saw a pic of the Chocolate Tree on a Park Map, is there a Chocolate tree during the ride?
