Orlando's LM to be "slightly longer and a lot better"

[stitch2008]

I just went to a talk today given by Len Testa. He totally doesn't think LM will open before December and he said that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride was a mess and that he's heard it won't open until 2015.

Obviously, it's just gossip but I thought it was interesting.

Ill call that false for now. From what I can gather from pictures, it looks like the ride site for the Mine Train is about set for "real work" to begin. I call it "real work" cause of my actual coaster structure bias(you know, working with them and all:wave

Now if that slab is the bottom foundation, and it appears to be, then it shouldnt be much longer before they start spray painting to mark where supports are going.

So... seems this person out in front of the concept art may have a corroborator.

This forum's favorite rumor monger, Jim Hill, stated on the latest WDW Fan Boys Podcast that the Little Mermaid is running ahead of schedule and could technically be finished in time for Summer. The issue however is that the paths into the area will not be ready for some time possibly until as late as November.

Huge miss for timing and capturing that summer dollar of true.

GIGGITY!
classy jokes aside, PLEASE tell me this will be open in early June. I don't even care about the rest of the expansion but my sister is DYING to go on this ride and I don't think we'll ever hear the end of it if we miss it by a few weeks. ><

I would say almost no chance of being open by June. There have been some rumors of August, but I think that's even a stretch.

Based on how the site currently looks, no chance for June.

Wouldn't it make sense for it to open Oct. 1? it would kill two birds with one stone....
