Mine Ride Construction Update

[Sped2424]

Based on a (weak) Malaysia legoland comparison many hath dubbed it Ser Kiddie of Coasters? Methinks not brave squire. You may not compare that which sucks to that which will be astounding in two days.

astounding? I think it will be a nice coaster, but I was merely comparing the actual layout, dark ride then coaster sections. I did say that the mine train would be twice as beautiful inside and out, its just the actual type of ride is similar dark ride coaster hybrid even if that lego land ride sucks. But I would save the word astounding for an actual e ticket experience (Gringotts seems like its going to be astounding) . Beautiful and cute is more what the seven dwarf mine train seems like to me. Also I don't know what is coming in two days that you keep mentioning, but at this point it surely doesn't seem like the mine train.

Not sure if this has been reported, but Theme park Connections has a picture with the Mine Train waterfall working. I don't know the date when the photo was taken. Anyone there now that can confirm if it is still running?

Beat me to it! It was running and it was pretty loud - came around the corner from the mermaid area and heard it before I saw it. Actually smelled that Disney water feature smell (and it was not from Gaston's fountain) before I saw it as well.

I suspect the mine train will be similar to this experience, if only in its set up. Except with the indoor portion in the middle instead of the beginning. And of course the track is much lower. Which makes me scared for the experience, meaning legolands coaster sections might be a bit more exciting than Disney's, although they won't be nearly as beautiful. I can see why many dub it a kiddie coaster.

There's a Legoland... in Malaysia?

Uhh...Hey boss! I wonder how the lady on the scooter at the right in your first pic got past security with that machine gun!

Holy cow - what IS that??!

Apparently she has an ax to grind with one of the construction workers. I've always been rather suspicious of scooter riders!

Haha- Its the 7DMT Senior Security Service. "10-4, all clear, snow white has left the building... over and out"

Actually it's for when people aren't walking fast enough in front of her, she'll shoot a dart in your back or rear so you pick up the pace!

You had it almost exact......"10-4, all clear snow white has left the building......wait why am I outside? Why am I holding this machine gun? I'm over this I am heading out to cracker barrel."

It does look like they have quite a bit of dirt work left to do, do they plan on putting sod in does anyone know? Or are they doing a dirt/rock mine like look?

Unfortunately I cannot answer this because we were only given the interior plans and nothing that depicts what the outside decor will be

As boring as this is, it looks to me like the "machine gun" is the handle of a stroller.

Now we know why scooters and strollers are both evil.

Based on the concept art I would guess that the green areas on the mountain will get artificial grass light they did on Mermaid.

I'm guessing these are in the queue: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...-inspired-details-to-seven-dwarfs-mine-train/ Notice how it says "when the attraction opens later this year".

Fixed that for them.

I think this is great! It really seems like the interior work is nearly complete and that the exterior work is all that needs finishing up (which I know is not a quick task to complete). I'm really impressed by all the progress made within the last few weeks, especially with the added foliage.
