Mine Ride Construction Update

[coolbeans14]

Oh, I think it could be good, but there's always the possibility it's going to be style over substance- which unfortunately is a lot of the expansion.


Should have been clearer before, sorry.

what makes you think this ride is going to be awful?

peer pressure

I'm really starting to get excited now! It's really starting to take shape and look nice. Although it won't be opened by the time I get there (December), I still can't wait to ride it the next time I'm out.

Any photo updates anywhere? It's been a few days.

So with this opening in 2014, it is inevitable that it is going to end up being pitted against Gringott's Vault, which is also billed as a "family coaster".


Oh, this is going to be ugly!

I'll be experiencing both

Thoughts: UNI needs more family attractions period.

The Mine Train is a lot bigger than I thought seeing it in person. And that top track is HIGH. This doesn't look like a kiddy coaster to me. I'm actually getting excited or it, which I wasn't before.

I'd love to see some aerial shots!

If it's not open by this time next year, they should shut down all the parks and try something completely different.

Tom-if nothing else, they'll have a beautiful backdrop for a Snow White meet & greet, which will free up a space in Princess Fairytale Hall.

Does anyone know the estimated ride length? I heard 3.5 minutes, and I also heard 2 minutes. Just wondering what the actual ride time will be.

I think, if I remember correctly, it's something closer to the 2.5 to 3 minute time frame.

Add in the standby line of 2 hours, and you have a 2 hour and 3 minute experience.

It's not the length that matters. It's what it does with the length that counts.

From today, in the last photo you can see the entrance for the queue into the mine train. In the first two you can see the pathway with the wooden fence posts has started being installed.

Thank you DJ for another timely update.

 

[djkidkaz]

Sure thing!

Awesome pics, thanks!

This attraction is really going to put Universal in it's place.
