At last Adventure Isle Roaring Rapids is open and we have a first video filmed by Youkuber M_Patros of the full ride which include two falls and more surprises with of course the AA Q'araq creature which seems to don't be at 100% of its capacities. The ride is always in test mode and the AA creature is not working yet as you willl see. It seems that the skin of its right front leg don't cover the metallic structure so there is may be the issue they try to resolve. All the rest of the show seems to work properly but, yes, the video shows a ride not fully operational and please keep this in mind when you watch it.

Meh. Like Tron, cool on the outside, not much of a ride. The monster, even once completed, is a large let down from the artist rendering. Disney continues to concern me with their park work.
I feel like all the rides at Shanghai Disneyland look great aesthetically, but in reality they are very short. The only ride I've seen so far that is not short is pirates, but even that is somewhat of a disappointment for me because of the lack of AA's and large use of those projector screens.
The Q'araq seems a little weird, (other than the issues you mentioned) why is he scrunched into a corner of the cave? And only one creature, I watched the video of the new Kong, and this single Q'araq doesn't come close to matching, although I know they're two different types of experiences. It seems like they could have built a better story with more figures. It's much better than California Adventure's Grizzly Rapids, though. The rapids part seemed more intense, and the rock work seemed much more detailed. The most impressive thing to me was the whirlpool.
The monster not working? Not another broken Yeti I hope. Disney just can't seem to do large animatronics, like Universal.
