Mine Ride Construction Update

It's a neat photo. You can see Cosmic Ray's on the left with the walkway leading straight out to the hub, with the Crystal Palace in the distance

Was Tomorrowland Terrace at the time...

Post on another forum last night said there were people on the trains. Anyone have any knowledge? Assume it was CMs?

So... Just another two years until opening?

Has anyone posted exterior pictures in the last couple of days?

It seems most of the photo updates were taken on Sunday when the grass started going in. I'll probably be at MK this Sunday so I'll get some photos to see what a weeks worth of progress entails.

This photo is really early, and I didn't realize the Enchanted Grove/Cheshire Café wasn't there at opening

Also the meet and greet with Merida isnt in that photo.

Was that restaurant better than now? the fast food served there is terrible.
Id say Mcdonald's burgers are better than what they offer there.

Are CM's asked not to video POV rides when they are in testing?

I would imagine so, but I don't know for sure

My family often laments the loss of the chicken soup from the old Tomorrowland Terrace but I've never heard anything else about its menu. The odds of most of it being better than it is now are low considering how food was managed when the resort opened - taste and quality weren't really at the top of their list of priorities.

I think people miss the atmosphere more than anything...but considering how crowded the parks are (and this restaurant in particular) these days I doubt that ambience would still remain even if it didn't convert to Cosmic Rays.

I've seen it cycling with people on the ride, almost certain it was exclusively WDI though

Thanks Mr. Bill. I was just trying to confirm. I'll be there Sunday and will report back.

Yes, it was mentioned in another thread. Based on the previous chats they have done I have very low expectations for this.

This is all I've seen recently - shows grass on other side of mountain appears to have been installed. Hopefully @djkidkaz can get us a good photo update soon

As of tonight it appears as though there is finally thatched roofing on the cottage, went to take a pic and my phone died but figured it was worth mentioning.

In addition, they've put a big statue of King Triton outside the DVC stand. Just the top half of his body; does anyone know why?
