Compare the model to this: You see that soon to be partially enclosed cavity to the right of the big 'hole' in the mountain on the second level with the sloped roof? To the right of that generator? Right before the track reaches it's zenith? Bingo.

Looks like it is happening, right where the model said it would be. It is just a minor structure, easy to build with the access to the mountain . . .

While else would they put in a wall there? Why the tar paper/roofing there? Why is it in exactly the same spot that the mine entrance should be in the model? Of course there will be rockwork around it, it is exactly where it is in the model!

Actually, looks like that "grey" wall there is the right side of the mine entrance, maybe the entrance is more 7-8 feet wide by ten feet high, instead of just a square 10' x 10'. Odd angle, but you can see progress, (I believe) on the mine entrance and on the rockwork below, and to the left) of...

Tar paper is black . . . it is used for roofing, it looks like they put down some stuff on the right side of the tar paper to protect during welding or something, but I would say that this is roofing for an exposed area, i.e. a mine shaft that won't get strictly horizontal rain, but yes, some...

The angle is horrible, but looking at the model, all of that new steel is for rockwork in the area to the left, and downward a bit, from the entrance. You can still see the "floor" for this area. The big tip-off is that it looks a heckuva like roofing decking, and tar paper, with some stuff put...

The angle is horrible, but do you see the "wooden" floor, i.e. decking for a roof, i.e. an area that will be exposed a big to the elements? It is on the lower left, horrible angle, but you can clearly see the mine train entrance in the other photos! I would wager that the "entrance" is 10' by...

Seriously, this picture shows the mine "entrance" it would theoretically be big enough to allow a train to enter (at least the opening), but it is just a clever bit of a construction. Yes or no? You do see the roofing tarpaper and the steel made for a cavity here? The other picture you show is...

Not sure why you'd thin that the log would be up in the air like that, but, yes, I am figuring that the lower water crossing might well be a "log". Either a traditional bridge or a "log" bridge are just superficial rockwork added on around the track as the pylons support the track, not any of...

Those pictures, I believe show the "real bridge" on the upper level, not where the log-bridge will theoretically go, i.e. down where the water is . . . Another trick question . . . the insiders are tricky!

Looks like there is evidence of the fake mine shaft right in this picture, you have a floor (part of it covered with tar paper, and the metal support structure to obviously hold a roof over this section, this is exactly where the fake mine entrance is supposed to be! East of the second lift...

Wouldn't be the first time that Disney had a false mine entrance: Or built a cave type structure with voices coming from it . . . Or maybe the voice of a critter . . . Sounds to me that 7DMT might get a 'mine entrance to nowhere', with the faint, but appreciable, sound of the...

Nemo 2 is Finding Dory, it is about helping Dory find her family. Dory has memory problems, so she may well have forgotten who her family is. Possibly Dory gets her memory back (short term at least) and wants to go on a pilgrimage to find her family, with Nemo and pals in tow. Dory is a blue...

Wasn't the witch in SWSA getting ready to drop a boulder down on guests from a hilltop or something? I don't think she was ever physically "inside" of the mine in the film. If so, a logical place to put her would be in an outside area of the ride, IMO. A problem with the old SWSA was that...

Funny, but given that Nemo is Pixar's #1 film (inflation adjusted box office gross, it beats Toy Story 3), I doubt we'll be seeing any less of Nemo in the parks, especially with Nemo 2 coming out. For what it's worth, I like the Finding Nemo ride in Epcot better than the one in Disneyland...

Do you know who the ringleaders were who cattle called everybody to storm City Hall?

There was a time when upkeep at Disneyland wasn't very good, probably about two decades ago. Look what you have today: the Alice in Wonderland queue has had a "temporary-permanent" scaffolding on for years . . . but it is true DLR has a large local/AP presence. I would respectfully disagree ...

I should clarify that I'm talking about opening day DCA, before Toy Story Midway Mania, before Tower of Terror . . .I'd take the Great Movie Ride, Star Tours, and the theming of DHS over DCA opening any day of the week. The only thing I liked with opening day DCA was Soarin . . . GRR is boring...

The mine shaft in question is encounter by guests right before they go down the first lift hill, and before they enter the inside of the mine to see the show scenes . . . I would guess that it will be used for foreshadowing, likely you'll hear the Dwarfs singing, before you meet them in the...

That's true, but WDW gets a lot of first time/once in a lifetime guests, and folks who haven't been in 15 years . . . I bet foreigners especially get a kick out of the Hollywood feel of DHS, and the stunt show. Recently, all of the new Disney lands completed and planned on on undeveloped...
