Mine Ride Construction Update

I don't know if anything is 100% certain, but merchandise and Fastpass for Mermaid would make sense.

actually I hear its Mermaid FP and DVC

Yeah, I think I saw DVC mentioned somewhere also. I would still expect some sort of Mermaid merchandise stand there since there is currently no merchandise location in the LM area.

My guess is merch (very small stand or the like) and a food/drink stand, like the one on Sunset Boulevard or the old Toontown one. Not sure about FP; we thought Pooh's would be back years ago, but they're still at Philhar.

I know its a simple model, but these buildings look more Aladdin-esque to me.

I thought the same thing. i could just picture the little hut on the right filled with apples.

Does anyone know how they will do the trees on top of the ride, will they be real and big like the ones depicted in the concept art, or small and fake?

I once read they will plant real trees on the ground areas and fake, smaller ones on top. I doubt they can pile up enough soil on top of the structures unless they've planned on integrating several containers with enough volume for the trees to grow natural roots in.

If the Beast's castle area and the grasses on TLM are any indication, I can only think the foliage on SDMT will also look great despite being fake.

 

[danlb_2000]

Since one of the lift hill looks like it will come out high on the mountain, there are limits to what they can do with forced persepctive here.

 

[djkidkaz]

The "trees" they added up near Beasts castle look pretty bad in my opinion, so I hope they don't use more of those. I just don't think they sell the effect well.
