I wonder if Vekoma will be selling a swinging mine car coaster in the near future.
I wonder if the swinging car idea was collaboration between Disney and Vekoma, and if so if Disney has some control over what Vekoma does with it.

Nope sorry, it was hard to snap at with all the workers everywhere. I am sure someone will snap it soon, but the cottage looks fantastic. Also I am not sure how new this is but over by the little mermaid area there is an emergency exit for the mine train and it just recieved a cast member only sign with detailed carved owls much like the ones found on the exterior of the Cottage.
Quite a bit longer than it takes some folks on these forums to begin asking about it.
Geez, that comment made me think of that SNL episode with Debbie Downer at Disney World. . .

not much to show the thing is basically done, there were people doing patch work around here and there and some cleaning up behind the cottage, but nothing major. The ride shall be open soon enough and then videos shall flood the web.

No worries. It just seems odd to me that as soon as the first set of walls came down there's been thousands of pictures of the same thing yet everyone has been wondering about the cottage and the walls have finally come down and there hasn't been a single picture posted. Just the irony of the situation, that's all. Lol.

I think so too. There were continuous postings for every rail they added to the ride and now no pictures on the internet(that I could find) of the cottage besides the shots of the roof. I'm kinda glad though because I am leaving in 34 days and it would be nice to be surprised.

Maybe the cottage looks good, so they are not taking pictures... You know - nothing to complain about.
I dont think the cottage is visible from current areas - other than the roof.

If there is any chance of people seeing the cottage from guest-accessible areas, no one has posted them anywhere online. We do have this one from the Disney Parks Blog:
Even though the section shown has some finishing details yet-to-be-added, the faithfulness to the film is evident (and lovely) to see, birdhouse and all:

The cottage's best vantage point would be from the front of the entire attraction which is still behind walls, for now you can only see glimpses of it at weird angles from the viewing areas! But the walls around it are down.
