Mine Ride Construction Update

if they care to do it.

Which they probably don't.

Well at least I will be selfishly getting my wish...I was just hoping that the Mine Train area wouldn't be an eyesore when we go in the beginning of Jan. 2014. The agonizing slow progess was beginning to frustrate me. That yellow mesh and unfinished rock areas should be pretty much done by then. I at least hope to see some test runs on the track with the trains while we are there.

it looks great

Saw it last night it looks amazing. I hope it lives up to it's exterior!

I can't get over how quiet the coaster is, but maybe it will be different when the walls come down.

It seems pretty quite walls or not. I think it would need to be quite since it's in the middle of New Fantasyland, or at least I hope it will be

The track is probably filled with sand and the top speed is probably not too high.

Wait until it's filled with screaming guests. I know, I know it's just a kiddie coaster, but I scream like a little girl even on Goofini. IMHO you can't truly enjoy a roller coaster of any kind without putting your arms in the air at least on the big hill and screaming.

Look at those beautiful trees :') Finally bringing some nice foliage back to the magic kingdom.

Also remember its probably hard to hear anything with all the ambient noise and soundtracks in the background. Plus Once the ride opens I am sure that area will have its own soundtrack music (Which I cannot wait to hear) playing enticing guests to come and ride.

It's coming along nicely. I really like that angle with the train running by, the cottage wedged in-between and the (coming) foliage. I hope it becomes a favorable spot!

The speed is a lot slower than I thought it would be, but it might be because it's at the end of the ride just before the station. But then again I have always been horrible at judging the speed of thjngs

I was wondering about speed, it looked pretty darn slow. Wonder if that was toward the end of the track or slowing to enter show scene in mountain.

Nice to see whole coaster. Good sign. Kept looking for that rocking motion of the cars.

Kept looking for that rocking motion of the cars.

The amount of rocking may be dependent on the weight in the car.

If it really "rocks" as intended, I may not want the cars to go especially fast, personally.

 

[Rose&Crowner]

It's silent because it's brand new.

Yeah, don't know. I wasn't anticipating a fast coaster however it just seemed very slow, but maybe it is the end of the ride.

 

[A1st]

Maybe they're having the ride go so slowly so that people can't say the ride is 90 seconds long...

Someone on disboards reported seeing testing with passengers (workers) on Friday 12/13. Also, lots of trees, including it looks like some over near mermaid/gaston and some on the Storybook side. Sorry for the links, but I'm not sure how to embed twitter photos (or if it can be done at all).

@wdwmagic - I'm ready for a photo update @photoflight - aeriels are acceptable too

 

[tl77]

It probably won't be very fast or loud because the lift hills aren't that high, and all that adds up to "family caster"
