They were doing this on Friday night also. They were especially testing the emergency brakes right before the cottage.

I want it to be true--we're there May 3-11. I keep hearing conflicting reports however, and I'm a little nervous we'll just miss it. I can't imagine that it won't be ready for riders at the time of the media preview, as I think it would be pretty embarrassing for Disney to have put forth such an elaborate invitation only to tell the media "you can look, but you can't ride..." I mean, if the media is able to safely ride it, it also would have meet the same [safety] standards to allow for the public to ride it correct?
I've also thought maybe it's called the media "preview" because the intention is for the media to be the first to experience the ride and to have no public soft openings. Just a theory
I think your theory might be right, because I know when they opened the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland they had a special media preview at midnight, and the media were the first people to ride it, then the next day it was open to the public... the reason being is that the media reviews write ups of the ride were used to helped promote it to the public

What I got looking at that is the "we're dig, dig, digging for you" part will eventually be hanging under the attraction name. Sort of acts as a slogan.
The site is only able to operate with the funding generated by ads. If everyone used Adblock the site would close.

Not complaining at all. Just pointing out that WDW is heavily promoting MT and it is "Opening Soon"

Noticed this morning during the commercial shoot that the first lift hill has the same fin as Everest's and just like Everest was quiet while the train went up.
Yep it seems to be the same system. The entire ride system is very quiet.

...Some of us make it a point to click on a handful of these banner ads a day just to help out a bit....
Just sayin', but some of us do that.
Cool! That's a helluva piece of equipment they're using to film with.

The queue details look great! Almost like a "bejeweled" kind of idea. Love it!

I just disabled mine on this site, as a small gesture of support. I biggest reason I use a blocker is for objectionable material, so hopefully this site will stay unblocked.

I make sure to click all the Adobe ones just because I don't like their business practices

It seems like if it is safe for extras to ride then it would be safe for the public to ride, so I am hoping for a soft opening sometime after they are done.

I wonder if everything inside is good to go? Like whether the animated figures are actually up and running.
