SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

[erstwo]

Here is a look at the over-flow queue

VIDEO - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train soft opens to all guests and hits 3 hour wait time in the first 30 minutes of opening

Thank you so much for this video! My children and I greatly enjoyed watching it this morning - our first day of summer break. Great way to start the day and feel as if we are there even if we can't actually be there!

Whoops - I actually meant the walk through video. But you get the idea.

The new video is cool. Shame though there is already burned out lights (lanterns) in the queue. I counted about 4. That's just sad.

why is it sad that a light bulb burned out? It might be on purpose, that is someone looking for something to be wrong, Jeez! It is a light bulb for heanens sake

One is unfortunate, but four (if accurate) isn't looking for something wrong; it's right there in front of them.

Just got off for the second time. Its a great ride...especially in back! Line is fast around 30-45 min.

IMA COMING.

I could only catch snatches in the new walk-on video but I LOVE the muted trumpet 20's-esque style renditions of the Snow White tunes in the queue! The whole FLE just has amazing music..

The line is super long... At least a 50 minute wait.

ehh... as long as the AAs work and the ride is smooth, they could turn all the lights out in the queue and I'd still be happy to ride before it opens!

Turning them off is one thing, their being out and not addressed is another....

I often work the photos in Space Mt arcade, always near closing time. The last hour of operation (the last hour of the park day), there is never a line (ten minute posted wait on Stand-by line; during that last hr half of the pics are frequent fliers). If you can wait all day to ride Space, you can ride it as many times as you want during the last .5 to 1 hr. Note: I don't know if this rule applies to Splash and BT too, but even if so, they are at the opposite end of the park, and getting there takes time; I wouldn't count on multiple rides on all three, but perhaps either Space, or Splash/BT.

Maybe others have advice on this, too...?

Thanks so much for your message. Probably will be difficult to stay til close at 11 or so with a 7 year old after having been there from rope drop, but it is duely noted. Still not sure whether to plan FPs for early to use the rolling one, or schedule for the afternoon.

I understand but it is technically only a soft opening. Cut them some slack until May 28th.

rode 3 times today. First was at 6:30 with a wait of 160 but it was only 30 min. Each time it was only 30-45 min. Fun ride. Waits all over are not bad at all. From 6 to 9 I walked on nearly everything.

Castmembers said they are trying to keep it open all day. So far it has been.

I rode earlier today. Posted 60 mins. Wait time was 49 mins. Line stretched to almost dumbo. So don't be disheartened if it looks long. Line moves fast. Am heading back around 8pm, will be there til tomorrow morning. Hope it stays open most of the night but I won't hold my breath. Ride was good, not great. Very smooth coaster, nice theming but short. Unlike splash mountain, theming is short lived and it's not quite as thrilling as btmrr. All in all a good ride, it will go into the rotation but not an all time favorite.

Snippet, maybe?

Since your doing 2 days, on your 2nd day, take advantage of riding during the parade, fireworks, and castle projections. The lines get pretty short.
schedule them for the afternoon, remember that every time you use one fast pass, you can move up the other fp+ times as long as they are available. So you could easily used all 3 fp+ in two hours like we did. Then use the rolling 4th for anything else.

Great! Sounds like our Monday morning will be fun!

Line seems to move fast. Looks like a big people eater for MK.

Until FP+ opens on the mine train of course.
