Mine Ride Construction Update

[MOXOMUMD]

Do we know what the height requirement is?

I think the assumption was 35" like the Barmstormer.

38 inches with rider swap available according to touring plans.

Disney has said it will be 38 inches.

In Damouse's newest update there's a few clumps of grass on the very top, directly above the 2nd lift hill!

Looks more like bushes/wildflowers than grass -- nice to see such detailing.

WESH has a few inside photos. I haven't seen before today.

Hope I did this right.

Hmm, the only new ones I see don't look like the mine coaster, but instead the princess meet and greet that already opened (#4 and #8). Hard to tell, though.

I haven't seen the meet and greet area yet for the princess, so thank you. I haven't been since June 2013.

I am so excited about the mine train and I have enjoyed reading the discussion here.

Yeah, those are definitely from PFTH.

Oh, how Disney has lowered our standards. Two years ago, we were excited by toilets. Now, grass is all that's needed.

Actually, I take that back. In the Avatar board, we are excited by sand as evidence of progress. Sand. In Florida.

Perhaps you are being sarcastic, but grass is a sign of progress and coming completion. It is something to be excited about, IMO. Sure, its been a long time coming, but it is coming, finally. Besides, it looks really good.

Bash Disney all you want (not you or your post in particular, just in general, I mean), but the one thing have really nailed with FLE is to make it look stunning. Yes, I'd prefer the content matched the exterior in awesomeness, but that doesn't take away from how great a job they are doing on making the area truly immersive.

You tell 'em. 2/7 will be a day long remembered for, at the very least a beautiful addition to our beloved resort, not to mention a totally new immersive experience!

I see you are no longer predicting this will happen in 2014...

I'm not predicting anything. Although I do apologize for leaving off the year! Seventh February, in the year of our Lord Two Thousand Fourteen.

lol The suspense has me on edge, what happens on that day? The soft opening? Or an announcement of the actual opening day? Sorry to be a bother!

Construction walls move back revealing 17 square inches of themed pavement. Expect a ribbon cutting ceremony big enough to attract George Kalogridis out of hibernation. If he sees his shadow, however, it'll be 6 more weeks until the Mine Train soft opens.

Not sure what could be happening with the mine train a week from tomorrow other than an announcement of an opening date.
