Rumours Circulating Mine Train Coaster Could be Cancelled!!!

[Lee]

So there is no confusion, the first lift hill is not inside the mine.

Confusion due to my crappy Paint skills.:lol:
The second lift does appear to be inside the show building.

Something to point out to those playing along at home...
The actual ride won't have as many tunnels as seen in the concept art. It won't be constantly going indoors as much as the art would make it seem.

Also keep in mind, this version of the layout is the third one I've seen. It is always possible that it will be tweeked again before construction.

The bridge over the track at that section will be the scene from the movie of the Dwarfs walking over the log:

Like in the art...but on the other side of the ride.

Thanks for bringing us the layout, Lee. :wave:

Thanks for bringing us the layout, Lee. :wave:

Quite welcome, as always.
I couldn't do it without the generous help of those thoughtful people (lurking in the shadows) who keep me supplied with info, art, plans, etc. Ya'll know who you are.:wave:

Big disappointment.

A ride titled "mine train" that is at most 20% inside a mine?

Ok then.

It's more than 20%, at least time-wise.

Ahhh, I see.

Nice show scenes inside with time to experience them should help quite a bit.

Lee, we need to all pitch in and buy you photoshop or something.

But seriously, thanks for the info. Looks exciting.

Sweet! Thanks guys.

Yep. That art shows the scene but it's changed now to the actual ride track going over the log.

Big disappointment.

Ok then.

Earlier plans were for it to be more indoors. But it's better than calling it "Little Seven Dwarfs train through the woods." :lol:

Over the log? Huh that seems a bit strange but interesting at the same time. Raven any info as to why this change was made?

No clue why. Maybe an attempt to put guests more "into" the attraction to gain appeal from people looking on.

Ya that'd be my guess. The one thing I have thought about this attraction from the beginning is that it will add so much energy to fantasyland.

 

[Jakester]

I cannot wait to experience this (and TLM). The Mine Ride will be a great addition.

OVER?! Why over? That's kinda weird.... :shrug:

As I've said before, the ride isn't going to be scrapped because there is something other than FLE driving the ride's development.

Juan, I am assuming THIS is why?

Disney and More has posted a couple of new pieces of art showing off different views of the castle planned for Shanghai Disneyland. They also talk about that water ride we had previously mentioned that will go under the castle, as well as Fantasyland having Peter Pan and Pooh dark rides in addition to the Tea Cups and Carousel and their own version of the Seven Dwarves Mine Coaster.

 

[Lee]

OVER?! Why over? That's kinda weird.... :shrug:

Nah...it's cool. Makes for an unusual bridge over the water feature.

Jaun, I am assuming THIS is why?

Ding!Ding!Ding! We have a winnah!

The dwarf ride is being developed for both Shanghai and MK.
(Hence my quote earlier about how if for some reason they hadn't been able to solve the engineering issues, Shanghai and MK would be in a bit of a bind.

Nice work on the layout diagram Lee - thanks!

 

[juan]

I'm really glad you pieced it together! That's exactly what I was alluding to.

And that's why I'm so intrigued with any announcements that are made at D23 for Shanghai.

ps its juan, not jaun
