Mine Ride Construction Update

[wdwmagic]

3 minutes? Only if there's just a single train!

Note my use of 'best case'

What duration are you going for?

 

[DisneyConstruction23]

I predict roughly 2 1/2 minutes if the train slows down as much as I believe it will (and even stop at some parts)

 

[Mawg]

Does anyone know how many trains will be running at a time and what the hourly capacity is expected to be?

 

[startraveler]

DisneyConstruction23, you seem to know a lot about this ride. Are any of the cars adapted for an easy transfer from a wheelchair?

Yikes -- "Low" wait times of 60 minutes!??! I realize this is what we've anticipated all along, but to see it in print is rather jarring.

Easy transfer I would say yes but their is no cars that I can recall that are wheelchair accessible.

To only have a difference of 30 mins from low to peak means at least one of them is off.

 

[Mawg]

Easy transfer I would say yes but their is no cars that I can recall that are wheelchair accessible.

Did you get a chance to see how many trains they have?

 

[startraveler]

Thanks. Didn't think there would be any wheelchair accessible, but the opening to get into the car looks pretty narrow, unless there is one that opens up a little to slide in. Thanks again for the prompt response.

 

[DisneyConstruction23]

Look around I just found a picture of us online hahahaha Far Far left the big guy in the orange vest with his hands what seems to be in his pockets is me......(at least I think it is....the picture is not great so I cannot tell but I do remember a group photo for two companies and kinda being in the back of it. *which I think is this one*)

That I do not know, as of my last time there they only had a few cars for testing. We finished our last group of work last Friday so IDk what has been added since

They are not as small as they seem....I would say about the same width as the people movers

UGH another peter pan in fantasyland, fantastic.

 

[bethymouse]

Great shots! I love to see the construction walls down, and the pretty waterfall! Can't wait to see the inside of the mine.

 

[danlb_2000]

Does anyone know how many trains will be running at a time and what the hourly capacity is expected to be?

I think someone calculated that there could be five trains running at one time. The number depends on the number of breaking zones in the ride.

I was going for 2- 2 1/2 minutes including dispatches, lifts and holding, but I've been beaten to it!

Yeah, that's was I was trying to get an idea of was the number of break zones or slow zones. More trains could equal more slow show scenes and thus a longer ride.

There will be a media "preview" on April 30th per InsideTheMagic on Twitter. He received a "save the date" from Disney today.
