Mine Ride Construction Update

[Jabbas]

Damouse has a new picture on his Instagram account showing a part of the cottage. It looks about the same as the one Disney posted but just with different lighting.

maybe that's a sign of things to come.

New video. If you listen carefully, you can hear the "Silly Song" (possibly coming from the cottage?) and if you listen VERY carefully, you can hear someone (CM?) telling a guest that it should open "In two... uh, a couple of weeks". Also, about halfway through the video, you can see some wiring that may be leading to the lantern on the front car.

That wiring is 100% most definitely *NOT* for the lanterns. It's for testing equipment mounted in the front seat - typically used to measure forces and such that will be exerted on riders needed to obtain a certificate of occupancy.

Here is a screen shot from the video, wiring is definitely not a permanent part of car:

I know this is not a "thrill" ride. But, the rocking of the cars sure does look like fun. I think I'm going to want to ride this over and over. Most may say this is not an E ticket but it's starting to look like one from my opinion (you don't have to argue with me about it either, I respect your opinion if you don't think so).

Enter: WDWMagic Doom & Gloomers tirade on "TDO" quality + duct tape. Annnnnnnnnnd half the board just "confirmed" it's permanent because they "have a feeling."

Well what do you expect when the nuts over at TDO find some duct tape? I mean, it's obviously permanent...I've got a feeling that's something TDO would do. Just terrible...

That's the first time I've seen the Standby sign (there near the end of the video). I haven't read all 192 pages of this thread, so maybe I missed something. Most people were thinking that roof would be an obvious place to start the cue, but that sort of confirms it.

C'mon now. . . Let's stop hatin' on the haters--they make this board interesting! Or are you trying to "poke the bear(s)?"

I didn't think it was permanent. I was guessing that it was just for the testing phase.

Thanks for the info. It was just a guess that it might have been temporary during the testing phase. Another video seemed to show the lanterns as being lit so I took a stab at it.

You're right about "Silly Song". I had to watch it quite a few times but I heard it.

I love that nighttime perspective of the ride!

When was this shot? Old or New?

When was this shot? Old or New?

pretty old, I saw that same video already posted here at least over a month ago.

 

[Figment2005]

When was this shot? Old or New?

Considering the lack of completion on the cottage, I would think old.
