SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

[sshindel]

So the ride is actually a 2 minute 45 second very well themed family coaster. The animatronics are first rate, the drop looks fun, and the coaster overall looks somewhat thrilling. Disney looks like they built a winner to headline New Fantasyland.

Psssttt....
Add a quick note about soft openings so you don't get yelled at for going off topic on the thread
like this:

I for one can't wait to start seeing reports out of people who have ridden this coaster during a soft opening! Anyone know when that will be?

According to Ricky from Inside the Magic, the opening date will be announced tomorrow!!!!

I feel like there is way too much media hype going on right now for it not to be opening soon.

Per the media schedule it looks like around noon time. Hopefully the weather holds up

Awesome thanks. And I meant a time for the announcement not the opening just in case anyone didn't realize that

And we both forgot, iconic music to drive the attraction. I can't wait to ride this myself.

Short and pretty. As the saner ones said. Nice.

Plesantly surprised, especially by the ending. It simply didn't need to take as long as it did to be built.

Ok so just to be clear there have been no soft openings or any occurrences of the general public riding yet? Just press/media, actors, and cast members thus far?

One poster said random people were being picked to ride today, but haven't seen or heard confirmation of this happening.
