My DW and myself enjoyed it, especially at night. Its no Beast, Manta, Dueling Dragons, or Expedition Everest with various levels of theming but those are just coasters... have lots of those around and are a dime a dozen. Not exactly immersive (Bird on a stick anyone when it works ? )

What were you expecting?
A 45 minute roller coaster that goes 200MPH with 7642 loops and no waiting. Typical TDO failure.
Ummm...that seems a bit unrealistic to me, Mr. Crazy Pants. At least dial it back to 7640 loops.

It doesn't matter which thread you go to for 7 dwarves mine train... There's always a bunch of posts that complain about the ride. So why should this thread get more attention? Everyone's just going to repeat themselves on here.. You should just add your complaint post to one of these..

Because everyone wants their own soapbox to stand up on and beat their chest.

Think of it as a replacement for the old Snow White dark ride. It IS better than that, although I don't understand why we couldn't keep the former.
A disappointment in terms of length, but it's a solid D ticket with a ton of theming and detail. It needed one more scene and the end seemed rushed, but it's the most ambitious attraction they've built in the last several years.
Disappointing? Maybe slightly, but I think people expect a bit too much and are too hard on it.

Or it is a message board where people can post...But please give me a list of things I can't post in the future...thanks

....and I would give you an F for not taking two seconds to pay attention to every single press release and construction update that Imagineering ever published.

Because the Fantasyland Expansion was first and foremost planned as a glorified meet-and-greet area. The site of SDMT was originally supposed to be a joint area for Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty versions of "Enchanted Tales With Belle". You'd go into Cinderella's mansion, or Aurora's cottage, lots of special effects and then get your picture taken.
Original blueprint, with Snow White's Scary Adventures still intact.
When they decided on a new coaster for the Seven Dwarfs, they decided "Hey, we still NEED that meet and greet area!" "Let's close Snow White because it will be represented by the Dwarfs. Besides Snow White is OLD and NOBODY likes stuff that's old!"
As evidenced by Peter Pan's Flight.

WOW, thanks for sharing the original plan. It would have been great.
I couldn't help but notice the Pixie Hollow area, which IMO is a much needed spot in MK (was very disappointed there only is a Tinkerbell meet and greet in the park
)

I'm just curious how bad the drops are on this ride. I hate drops, but can tolerate them if they are mild. I really want to try this ride but I want to be prepared.
There really aren't drops per se. More like gentle slopes. I can't imagine anyone being unable to handle the Mine train. My timid five-year-old rode it no problem.

There is no sense in getting upset about previous plans because there are probably 50 others out there and many of them might be better. Speculative plans are just that... speculative! That doesn't mean that they were ever going to get built or that even the designer thought they might. It's a "run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes" kind of thing. There is not even the slightest chance that that particular set of plans were ever going to see the light of day. It ended up being just about right for it's purpose.
