Mine Ride Construction Update

do my eye's deceive me or are they beginning to put grass on the tops of the hills?. Also snow's cottage is starting to finally come about

I'm not seeing any grass in the photos but I saw a few sprigs in person somewhere along the Mermaid or Teacups edge a week ago (I was there Wed and Fri). I figured they were test pieces. I haven't noticed them in any pics since then, so either they are hard to "pic" out or they were removed after the test.

EDIT: I think maybe I do see them above the fake mine entrance by the second (oops, first) lift hill. The ones I saw were somewhere near there and were only a single line along the very edge.

I didn't notice it in person. Let me post a few more pictures. Maybe we can see a little better.

Has anyone heard any info that the mine cars are having issues when they come back into the unload area?

I've heard the rocking back and forth has caused issues when the cars come back in.

Can you elaborate ? Is it the swaying that won't stop in time or added stress to the track or something?

Ok so now I'm confused. He showed up in one of my pictures. I could have sworn he was on the other side of the tracks at one point

Yes, the swaying is supposedly the issue when they come back in.

He was there in September.

He was there in September.

Did a little research and he's been in the same spot for quite some time. I guess I thought he was on the other side of the track.

Now I definitely have to see when I go in April.

Interesting! I wonder if this is related to the issues they had back towards the beginning. I remember there were multiple reports of issues with the swaying.

Drew you have any info on the lanterns being axed or not?

I didn't see it in person either. It's not there. I think it will be by the end of next week though.

You're not blind. If they are there in the pictures one must half imagine it. Here is where I think I may see a few sprigs:

I am, however convinced I saw a little bit of grass/vegetation somewhere relatively near that spot either January 8 or January 10. At the time I thought it was testing and not installation since there were so few, so they may not have been there very long.

Those are some nice over the wall pictures, definitely enjoyed the new one of the entrance to the show scene area. But all I gotta say is there is still a ton of work to be done.

They don't have a way to lock the cars in place?

Right. All the poles you see sticking up are for fake trees.
