MK Seven Dwarfs Mine Train In Action 3/19/2014

Filmed this yesterday when I was at the park. They were testing it and you could hear the sounds of the dwarfs inside the caves if you listened closely. Sounds like rocks being hit with axes. It wasn't the workers, it was a specific sound like characters.

Glad to see it moving!

 

[Bairstow]

Hm. No water dummies.

 

[Weather_Lady]

It looks great! I love how quiet it is.

Hm. No water dummies.

They already did weighted testing, but didn't use water dummies. There are pictures of them testing with barbell style weights on metal rods.

In this video I am wondering about the stop, is this part of the ride or just testing one of the emergency stops?

 

[AllydoesDisney]

I'm dying to see the inside of it. I can't get back there soon enough if they ever open it! I hope there will be Fastpasses for it

 

[Tom]

Wow, I hope that's just an emergency brake section they were testing. That's a harsh way to stop right after a fast section through a bank.

I was just about to make a comment on the speed. You saw it IRL right? How fast are we talking? In this video, it looks like it's basically crawling along.

Thanks for posting, great to see it progressing and moving. I wonder if this is going to be like Big Thunder or if they will make it like the Barnstormer where it is short with a few turns.

I'm not good at estimating speed, especially with something like a coaster. But I would say it's faster than Barn Stormer and slower than BTMRR. The speed is ideal for a "family coaster", which is what this is.

that was yesterday?! I was there! I guess I missed it

 

[wdwmomma10]

My kiddo got all excited! Can't wait for it to be open!!

 

[bethymouse]

Wow! I hope it lives up to its hype. I just can't imagine the lines, even with FP+.

 

[tinkerblonde11]

Looks great! So excited to see the inside and experience the shifting cars

It moves slow like the barnstormer, not fast at all. It stopped on the brakes because they were testing but after that, it goes into the cave and it moves slower in the cave through the dwarfs scene.

There's no queue for this ride. It's like the Matterhorn in DL.

Help me out here... I have never been to DL. What exactly does this mean... all FP+?? Or just that the line will wind all throughout FL?

 

[DizneyPryncess]

Looks awesome, thanks for posting!! I wonder what the height restriction will be. If DD is too short, DH & I will be baby swapping!

 

[Ginzuishou]

Must have been disappointing to be there and see it moving and not be able to ride it.

 

[Patrick_Ears]

I believe they are meaning Fast Pass Plus.
