The timing is off on these videos... the music in the dark areas is not synced up, right? Is that maybe a problem they are having? the DIG DIG DIG song is on at the second portion of the video, and not the first. and Heigh Ho is on the first one and not the second?

InsideTheMagic just reported on twitter that they will announce the official opening date tomorrow.

Two things I noticed in those night shots was thats the first time we've seen two mine cars on the track at the same time and the glass windows into the cottage scene are huge! It almost looks like the whole back of the cottage is a window.

It also does seem that the lantern on the front of the cars is lighted.

According to Inside the Magic:
"Disney will be announcing an official opening date for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train tomorrow!"

i noticed that too. Something that they're still working out I guess, but I'm pretty happy with what I'm seeing of the ride. Everything looks wonderful!

has anyone spotted any animals around the outside part of the ride yet? Curious if they put smaller animatronics in the forest section besides the vultures

 

[mratigan]

Two questions. What are the white strips in the middle of the track for and what propels the trains in the dark ride scene?

What I don't get is why the Cottage scene windows are so foggy...you can barley see into the scene and from one of the ride throughs the Guests in the back barley get to see it...

Yep, those windows should be gluten free!

Sorry, had to.

Yes it does seem that way, but it could be the video. I love to ride this at night though!!

Probably to hide the fact that the old figures inside aren't particularly well-animated and would look rather dodgy compared to the new ones.
It's kind of a neat idea, really, since distancing the train from the figures by use of wavy/opaque glass creates a separation between riders and characters and seals up the cottage, communicating the idea to the rider that the dwarves have made it home, are having fun in there, and everyone is perfectly happy and safe from everything that could happen.

I have to say that last show scene was fantastic! For this ride to truly knock it out of the park as a d ticket I think sometime in the future some sort of show scene should be added to the right half of the mountain. It's a little barren.
