What is this ride?

[squeedle]

I saw this in a YT video but it had no credit other than canobiefan.com which is dead. It doesn't look like a rendering, ot looks like a photo, but that drop can't be real right?

Seven Dwarves Mine Train, Magic Kingdom.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom in Disney World. It's a Vekoma Swinging Coaster

Awesome, thanks guys. So is that some kind of insane forced-perspective shot or a rendering? The POV video had nothing like that in it.

I think that image is the real deal, albeit with the camera at an angle. It's the drop after the second lift hill.

Drop at 1:50 in the above video.

Yeah, looks like a super screwy forced perspective of around 2:05 here:

Not really 'screwy', looks quite normal to me, but glad we found the ride!

 

[Hixee]

We could just ask @CanobieFan...?

CanobieFan, who the hell is that?!

I still own the domain. Sites been offline for a few years now but the message board is still active...ish

As far as the photo goes, it was taken with a pretty normal point and shoot digital camera. That drop is the large one near the end of the ride. The viewing area is elevated so the camera is pointed down and then tilted slightly sideways
No trick, no pro tools.
