SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

[ssidiouss@mac.c]

maybe tomorrow!

Was there today. Walked by three different times. Trains were running. Kinda. One with people, one without. 3 Cast Members (I don't use acronyms, and I never use anachronisms) standing near entrance being constantly asked the exact same question each and every time. They were well rehearsed with, "It opens May 28th."

Do you recall how long the interval was between trains? If they were running 5 trains as has been speculated it's capable of that would be a train about every 30 seconds.

I sat and watched them yesterday and used a stop watch to time them. They were 40-49 seconds apart

40 second dispatch interval would be 4 trains, right?

120 second ride time (which we know from videos) plus 40 second dispatch interval is 160 seconds round trip, so with trains 40 seconds apart that means 4 trains, right? That many trains running would be a good sign.

Well, here's hoping.. mostly because I'm flying down there today.. and hitting the parks tomorrow, May 9th.

HOPING!

I have abandoned all hope, but if I happen to ride it next week, I'll post here immediately afterward.

We were there a couple of days ago on 5/6. At park opening, trains were running empty. Later in the afternoon we saw one train running with just two CM's in the very last car. We only saw that once. When wondering by one time, we asked the CM's out front if there would be any chance for a soft opening that day and it was a very definite and "serious" no! My daughter said she heard them say something about the 28th, but we don't know what that was about.

I will say, it was very hard to hear the sounds coming out of the mine and not be able to ride! Fingers crossed for the rest of my fellow travelers.

The 28th is the official opening day for the ride!

Here now. Trains are running both empty and with some CM's on them. The empty trains are 40-45 sec apart, but then there is a 90 sec wait for the train with CM'S. Seems to be every 4th train has CM's.

 

[Space Mountain]

Trained 7DMT CMs can ride when working for training purposes.

Some Fantasyland CMs have been given the opportunity to ride after Park Close on random nights.

No word on official softs, yet..

BOG bridge? People and their anachronisms, can't you just take a few seconds to spell it out so the anachronism impaired people like me don't spend minutes either trying to figure it out or give up completely? Luckily where you were wasn't that important, but that you could see the ride was. After finding and looking at a park map I finally figured out that this was the Bridge to the Be Our Guest Restaurant. YLMFCSSLB...LOL, MILF
Nevertheless, thanks for your report.

I love it how this thread is already nearly 70pages long, and still no soft opening

I don't know whether to be impressed you took the time to find that out, or concerned that you took the time to find that out...

I better get my depends on. I may accidentally wet myself from all this excitement waiting to hear about soft openings going on.

 

[Mr Bill]

They've gotten to where they can run four trains without issue, but five would be better. I'd only expect a few days of soft openings before the grand.
