Mine Ride Construction Update

[phi2134]

That one is shows all the details and the trains running. Best video I've seen as of yet.

Not to mention they actually got Kenny G to provide the score for the video as well.

I'm really not concerned, give it a few months and the ground covering will obscure the fence completely, they very clearly have planted it to fit that purpose. (The 2:03 mark in that video shows the view from the other side, I actually argue it's probably more immersive to not have that on ride view - once foliage picks up)

It's nice that they were seemingly cognizant to get the trees in ahead of time so that the foliage would fill in by opening. Every update it's noticeably more "forested". The birch trees seem to be lagging but those should hopefully catch up in April.

Seems like construction is winding down...which means the Fantasyland Expansion is finally over. After the Mine Train opens, this particular board will be shut down no? Not much else to talk about.

There will still be those meriting the ride, those critiquing every little detail and those still posting about how long they took to build the ride.

Yeaaah...I had to turn the sound off.

It sounded like the soundtrack from a 70's o film. Not that I would know about such things...

i totally had to struggle to see that...

It's a shame they need to dummy proof the site, but you know if they did not, some dork would have jumped the low fence and run out there.

There is no shortage of dorks in the World.

I vote for survival of the fittest... Too many people allowed to make it to adulthood now.

I was dreaming of this being opened for our April trip.

Hoping and praying it is the first week of May which so far seems to be the case.

 

[Disneyhead'71]

It looks like they actually sped up the running footage.

I just want it confirmed so I can relax and stop stalking FP

It really is not that bad...and is just plain necessary.

Its absolutely necessary, I once watched a mom let her 3 kids climb over the fence and bushes near japan pavilion during illuminations so they could get a better view, about 10 feet at the most away from where they launch the fireworks from the shore. She called them back very very fast after that part

It sounds like the intro to an early 80s sitcom.

Hi, if you do post that there is a soft opening, where can I find it???

They may put it on the front page of the site, otherwise someone will likely start a new thread here about it.

If you hashtag Seven dwarfs mine train on Instagram there is a picture of the queue line. It looks like its still under construction. Sorry can't post I am at work.

The caption says it was taken on 3/15, so presumably there has been progress since then.
