Mine Train closed today?

[raven]

Also, the dwarf who says "Heigh ho" first (Doc?) was motionless. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come.

This was very noticable as well when I rode on Sunday night. Are the blirds on the clock supposed to work? I've ridden this ride 3 times now and have never seen them work but looks as if they would.

It's also very diffucult to see the witch knocking at the door at the end unless you are in the front car stopped on the break area. Not sure why they would put this really good animatronic in an area that so few people would even notice.

In regards to the witch I really don't mind that I don't get a perfect view of her every time. I think of it as one of those details that sometimes you see and sometimes you get just a glimpse. It adds a little variety each time I ride.

Just rode again. This time, Doc was fine, but dancing Snow/Dopey and the witch weren't moving. Whatever. Perhaps it isn't physically possible for all the AA's on a WDW attraction to move simultaneously (aside from opening week, if that).

WHAT.THE.HELL????

Isn't TDO aware of how BAD this makes them look??? The ride just opened and already things are breaking down?

The crap's going on????

The thing is, I don't know if it actually makes them look bad to the average guest. Even with the most interesting cottage AA's motionless, I heard someone saying "that was awesome" as we exited the train. A lot of people might not realize (or care) that these figures are supposed to move.

I guess that's why we fans have to keep riding TDO's about stuff like that. Let them know that people DO notice it, and that, thanks to the internet, word WILL get around. Although that hasn't yet worked for the broken yeti, unfortunately...

Darn it! You all beat me to the B-mode jokes!

I'm in MK right now. It closed again right around 9:30 just after I scanned my band for FP+. It's still closed as I type. There was a Disney film crew there as it broke down. Oops!

Totally agree about the witch, the Mine Train is down for the second time today. This is starting to get a bit serious I'm afraid.

This sounds pretty bad, the freaking ride just opened and there are already problems!!

 

[DinoInstitute]

I see a really big future in this thread topic....

 

[adisneyprincess]

It's a shame that SDMT is already malfunctioning. I understand Splash Mt because it's honestly part of the ride. But it's the newest ride that took forever to build and open... shouldn't be happening imho.

Oh jeez, already?? WTH!

 

[bhg469]

Thus never happened when we attached the mine car to a truck bed.

 

[alissafalco]

Perhaps I missed the post, but did someone post a reference to the ride being closed for mechanical reasons, or was it closed for some other reason? Like, perhaps for the film crew?

The OP posted that dancing snow white, dwarves, and the witch were all motionless when they rode.

 

[Scuttle]

Currently in line for attempt number 3. God help me.

Snow White still not dancing. It's just incredible how park ops let rides die.

 

[Clamman73]

pandora is going to be a disaster

Right...what happens if the mountains don't wanna float???

How very sad.

Can't say I didn't see this coming though.

Squished guests!
