It looks like dumbo has most of the elaphants on

Whoa, thank you for sharing the link. You can really get a feel for the scale of FLE when the video was from the Dumbo ride. It looks absolutely great. I feel like every day it looks so much closer to completion. Things are just flying up.

thank you, but i didn't take it. HAHA. I think that the best part of the video is showing the workers on the mine train ride. It really put into perspective how big it will be.

Woah, that mountain is going to be huge for Fantasyland.

Never mind the flying elephants....I like the flying tractor at the 21 second mark! I also get a kick out the the people "appearing" out of nowhere (behind the blue wall)!

I don't know about "huge." Everest is huge. The rolling hills of the Seven Dwarf ride are maybe 60 feet tall? Not huge. Appropriate for the family ride found inside.

I think the 'huge' factor will be in the overall footprint which is massive. Add force pespective and before Imagineering is through the thing will look like Everest.

I think that last part if a bit of a stretch. The size of this thing is nowhere near Everest. They can do a lot with forced perspective, but they are not miracle workers. It will look great I am sure, but it is still very much a Fantasyland scale project.

I think another aspect of the "hugeness" feeling is because it's so close. The peaks of Everest, Big Thunder, Splash, etc are a bit removed from the pedestrian walkways. But the Mine Train mountain is like it's *blam*, right there.

I meant the mountain in Nepal. :lookaroun

You continually try to make this ride into something it's not...and views like that will lead to anger in 2014 when what opens is not an E-ticket. Suggesting it will look anything like Everest is laughable. If WDI could make a 60 foot mountain look like Everest, we would have gotten a 60-foot mountain at Animal Kingdom.

The Seven Dwarfs ride is NOT an addition to the Magic Kingdom Mountain Range.

Actually I was mocking those who do what you are accusing me of.

I don't care too much about the ride itself but the aesthetics of the show building should be amazing. And that will please everyone even if they are expecting an Everest type attraction.

Oh yeah, speaking of MK mountains, I really hope that one day they consider a radical option for Splash. I'd like to see the exterior removed and all the theming ditched. Then a new show building built that better suits the land it is in. Simply add a franchise that can better fit the area. Possibly a franchise not even thought of yet. Possibly based on a Native American legend or lore that could then be incorporated into an attraction. And no I do not mean another Depp animatronic from the Lone Ranger franchise. :lol:

Perfect fit for Pixar or Disney animation. IMO.

Looking at that video, I can't help but notice the views of the big green show building from Dumbo. I also noticed that with the location of the second spinner, the show building will be front and center for those riding. There is no way Disney can let that building stay as is. What can they do though? Aside from planting a forest of fully mature trees?

While I do hate the large green queue building, it doesn't appear to me as if the soon-to-be-opened spinner should have any more of a view of it as the currently open one does. The whole thing's pretty symmetrical right?

 

[PhoenixSpirit]

It looks so much better now that there are more trees. The Beasts Castle looks more realistic now. Can't wait for the next batch of aerial photos to see more of the Mine Train

Wanting to get rid of Song of the South is just blasphemy.
