MK SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

[aladdin2007]

There are trains running this morning, but most are empty or with 1-2 people riding.

And wow is it a quiet coaster.

I was shocked at how quiet when walking by today, it goes right by you and you honestly dont know it unless your looking...

.But did they really need ten plus castmembers standing outside the entrance in costume doing nothing? It was misleading to guests, making them think it might be open or getting ready to and then a couple of cast getting annoyed with people asking the same question. Is it open? is it opening? is it open yet? There should have been a more detailed clear sign, and one or two cast.

How long are you willing to wait in line if SDMT opens @ the 24 hour event?

 

[George Sanderson]

I don't understand the predictions of a soft opening for the 24 hour event. If CM only testing allows them to have a group of individuals who will always "cooperate and understand", why open the flood gates to everyone on an extremely crowded day? Supposedly guests are more unpredictable and potentially unruly (see recent "mobs" of the CMs working the front rope and booing of riding CMs). If the ride needed to close or there were unexpected issues - can you imagine the kind of response supposed "unruly" guests would throw at the CMs working the front rope?? I'm not so sure they are going to choose to put themselves in that situation.

"You've got all day..."

If it's open I'm waiting...I won't be back until Jan '15. They won't soft open unless they are ready, but I'd wait 2 hours and I want to see the standby queue.

Wednesday May 28th you can ride, period, stop throwing up all over CM's when you walk by it before that date, if you planned your vacation for Memorial Day weekend. Sorry! You will have to return another time and ride it. Don't waste you day at MK on a hope and a prayer

SDMT or no SDMT, I'll never describe a day at MK as a waste. One ride shouldn't make or break your vacation or even your day.

My friend who is a CM just rode this several times and was AMAZED. Said it is super fun, a good average length, and that the AA's are the best he has ever seen.

Reading this makes me think about all the ridiculous doom and gloomers that hang out here all the time that put this whole concept (7DMT) down and down and down some more over the years. 'How stupid, this is a dumb kiddie ride' with as being in no position whatsoever to make such a statement.

And if I were asked what my opinion is as to why so many people would badger something like this when they have no basis to....I would suggest it has nothing to do with WDW or a ride in general. They have problems. They have to put everything down and so their misery and poison hangs out on these threads.

So, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are reporting to me that the mine train soft opened for about 10 min this morning and they made it on board. Mother-in-laws words, it was "very cool!"

Won't be the last time today.

Ap,Dvc or gp?

There are no Annual Pass or DVC previews scheduled, so it is just random guest previews.

Well I guess the CM I talked to knew what he was talking about. Heading over that way in a bit, hoping to get on.

 

[mcstensrud]

[DoctorDisney]

I'm going to take my laptop over to MK to work and keep an eye out on the mountain. Have to work anyway, so might as well do it there.
