Seven Dwarfs Mine Train gets named.

[lazyboy97o]

I honestly was not trying to be cute. I was just explaining why I think its a E ticket.

AKK

What is "over the top" about the design?

 

[orky8]

The themeing and kinetics it adds to Fanstasyland is E quality, but the ride itself is probably D. It is a perfect addition to Fantasyland (though, of course, a longer version would have been nice). And, if it wasn't the only damn thing of note added in 10 years besides magic bands, we wouldn't be bickering about whether it was technically an E or D. Yes, it is not Gringotts. It was never intended to be and this will have broader appeal -- as in all demographics can ride with very little limitation based on height or apprehension.

And all it took was the opinion of a single complete stranger that has claimed to have ridden the attraction.

There have been no cast member previews. The ride has not been handed over from WDI at this point. Any riders are construction crew related.

Ok, put down the computer and get ready to start your shift at Universal. You wouldn't want to be late.

Nonsense.

I still wonder why these "edgy" kids come here to boast about this and that with their lies?
I mean.. how does it benefit them?
Also, I wonder if its the same guy who was caught lying before nonstop. (aka a pathological liar)

Barnstormer 2: Storm Harder

BARNSTORMER: THE RETURN OF THE BARN

Gosh, it does seem like a lot of Uni Team members aren't working today. I thought they were real busy!

Ohh low burn there!

Wow. That joke is even funnier the second time you say it. On the same thread.

Maybe if he mentions it 3 times it will be epic ?

Hi-Ho-llercoaster?
Gemstone Mountain?
Khazad-Dûm?

There are no hobbits here?

Story keeps changing, I can't keep track.

And already debunked!

I swear that whole "my family who did this who was that"
reminds me of the movie "HOTEL TRANSYLVANNIA"
Mavis: He's your cousin, Johnny-Stein.
Dracula: [Playing along] Yes, yes, yes!
Frankenstein: I don't have no cousin.
Dracula: No, no, you do. He's your sixth cousin; three times removed.
Jonathan: [Hold's up his right arm] On your right arm side.
Frankenstein: [To his right arm] You have a cousin?
Dracula: Frank, if your arm can talk, it would tell you that the original owner of your arm had a brother...
Jonathan: ...Who married a woman....
Dracula: ...Who was-- [Makes killing gesture]
Jonathan: For strangling a pig.
Frankenstein: I have pig strangling blood in my arm?! That's kinda cool. Well, Coz, great to meet you. [

Hmm.. As a current CM, none of us have heard of any softs. And I know NO company personnel can access the area due to active construction status.

aaand thats it folks! the liar as been exposed again!

 

[Brickcity Pauly]

I'm guessing this isn't going to be open to ride in the next 3-4 weeks, whatever they call it?

 

[Bairstow]

There are no hobbits here?

There usually aren't any hobbits in Khazad-dûm.
Plenty of dwarves, though.

dont you mean orcs, goblins and ogres now?

 

[Bairstow]

Depends what you mean by "now".

 

[Matt_Black]

Technically, Doc and Grumpy and the rest seem more characteristic of gnomes than dwarves.

I personally wouldn't be suprised if softs began by the end of this month.
Softs for Mermaid/Belle began as early as October, roughly 2months prior to offical opening.
I can see the mouse wanting this up and rolling before the 24hour party.

Time will be our friend, take what I said with a grain of salt.

the good thing is, things are moving forward at least.. slowly getting there!

 

[wdisney9000]

seems since the mine train is shaping up as a E ticket, the folks who have been trying to tear it apart since the beginning are down to this.......name calling it!

Silly really

AKK

Mostly people have been pointing out that the ride is simply being over hyped. You should not confuse that as "tearing it apart". And may I point out that the over hyping is being done by fanbois, not Disney. Some folks ARE overly critical of 7DMT but on the opposite end of the spectrum there are people treating this attraction as the second coming.

The ride will be an enjoyable small coaster with (fingers crossed) some decent theming. It is and always has been shaping up to be a great D TICKET. You do no service to yourself or others that are expecting this to be a mind blowing attraction by referring to it as an E ticket, especially after being told that by Imagineer standards it is a D.

The live chat with the Imagineer gave us all we needed. He dodged questions and regurgitated the same old tired descriptions we are used to. Its sad that even when the interview is completely set up and controlled by Disney that he still could not answer certain questions without being extremely vague.

 

[Mouse_Trap]

Isn't it most likely to be the name that keeps getting used on the Disney Official Blogs i.e. "Seven Dwarfs Mine Train"?

I think anyone expecting a white-knuckle coaster is going to be severely disappointed. Though I'm not sure why anyone would have been expecting one. To be honest, that's not really Disney's thing, only Rock and Roller Coaster probably comes into that category in all of WDW. I would expect a very well themed and fun immersive attraction that fits nicely with the existing mountains.

Well I do disagree. They have been some that have being trying to tear this attraction apart almost since it was announced and now that its is proving to be a E ticket they are down to calling it names. There is no confusion on my part.

Some have actually posted comments on various threads, that why isn't it a major thrill coaster?, since it isn't, it a big disappoint!.........well daaaaa......its fantasyland!.......just because it is not a major thrill coaster does not make it any less. The theming, story line and innovation in mechanical engineering, give it all the items needed to be a E ticket. It may have been started as a D ticket, however from what I have seen (and I'll confirm in May), they out did themselves and it ended up a E ticket.

There is way to much value put on thrill coasters. the magic of Disney is not about thrill coasters.

You are of course entitled to your opinion.

[Master Yoda]

@Lee or @marni1971 might know this. Back in the day when Disney used the A-E tickets, did they ever have a sort of check list for determining what attraction got an A, B, C, D, or E classification?

I totally agree with you, and want to focus on this statement " There is way to much value put on thrill coasters. the magic of Disney is not about thrill coasters." This is what drives me absolutely bat crap crazy about everyone that comes on here and rails about how Disney needs to do something because Uni has all these new great rides. They are separate concepts run by different companies, let them be different and who gives a crap about what the other one is doing. Would I like to see more thrill rides or coasters at WDW, absolutely, but not at the expense of throwing off the theming. A bunch of loud screams coming from a ride in fantasyland would not fit in with the rest of the area.

Good morning Lunch box, and I totally agree, and judging by the number of likes I keep getting on this many others agree as well.

Morning Yoda,

I would imagine they did, but many on various threads have made a big deal of the E ticket standards have all changed over the years. One of their positions that the mine train is only a D ticket, if even that.

[Matt_Black]

Yeah, if all I cared about was coasters, there are several places close by in my area (Philly)- off the top of my head, you've got Hershey Park, Dorney Park, and 6 Flags. Much cheaper and less than a 2-hour drive away. And yet, I'm not pinching and saving to go to any of those places.

All on these boards, people say that Disney lost the ideas of "Show" and experience and were instead just content to run a theme park with rides. Now, here's something that goes back to that old school mentality, and people are complaining that it isn't going to be a thrilling enough theme park ride. *facepalm*

I think it was a perceived level of the impression an attraction gave. They obviously had standards with which to give the original roster of attractions a code but I don't know of an actual checklist a ride had to tick to reach a certain level.
