Mine Ride Construction Update

[DisneyConstruction23]

I would never say someone is lying about pain etc. but is this the only part of the park that causes you pain? My GF has a joint disorder and has a lot of trouble over near the splash mountain bridge (which is why we rent wheelchair) *Which btw if I get one more person giving her a dirty look like she is faking some kind of injury I may snap* (sorry a lot of anger built up with that remark lol)

Yeah. Let's talk about the roller coaster now. You know, the one this thread is about?

 

[DisneyConstruction23]

Yeah hahaha sorry got off on a tangent (after 123 pgs. its not odd to see the topic swing a little)

 

[G8rchamps]

yea- lets not de-raill the thread...

How tall is that rock wall? Looks awfully close to that track.

You can see trash cans next to the wall in the 3rd pic. That would put the wall at around mid-torso height for the average person.

Wow! Things are shaping up nicely! Thanks for the pictures

Really looks great! Can't wait to see it in person when I'm there this summer

Doesn't look any more different than Thunder Mountain.

I politely disagree.

The waterfalls and trees make it feel very earthy and organic.
I'm not actually a fan of the look of BTM from a distance, whereas the mine train is shaping up to be lovely from all views.

I am just so happy to see the walls coming down. Shan't miss them one bit!

Is there a gift shop or some Dopey meet and greet that will open with this ?

 

[rioriz]

yea- lets not de-raill the thread...

I see what you did there

 

[Wikkler]

yea- lets not de-raill the thread...

And then I'd get all Grumpy about it.

I can't imagine there WON'T be a gift shop; hoping they carry the cottage theming into it. I've always wondered about a M&G. I'm sure they will reserve all 7 Dwarfs for the ticketed parties, but it would be cool if Snow and one or two of the dwarfs were there on a regular basis a la Ariel's Grotto...

There is already a Seven Dwarfs themed gift shop across the from ride which I believe is currently being renovated. I don't believe there is any place around the ride where a M&G or shop could be.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad doesn't just come right to a wall the way these pictures show.

As long as they have Dopey waving somewhere, I'll be happy!

Looks great! I think this will be the perfect coaster for my almost 6 y/o daughter who finds BTMRR too intense, but Barnstormer too short.

Interesting that they built a scrim around the cottage.
