Thank you. The video is great and I think it really is going to be a great ride. Seeing it come together the details are going to be fabulous. The completion of this ride really will make the whole New Fantasyland more cohesive as a project as the "Forest." Right now I'm not sure the "illlusion" is really there.
Watching it to the big take away I got from it is that this is the "SEVEN DWARF's" Mine Train. Without saying it, it seemed appearant that this is NOT about Snow White or the Queen. I wouold be very surprised if they were included. It seemed to me this is is going to be a whirlwind adventure through the countryside and mines to "visit" the Dwarfs. I could be wrong but...

I am really excited for this. I think it will be a classic Disney family fun attraction with great immersive elements. Can't wait!

Coaster itself is about 60% completed while the track layout itself is about 75% completed. Triton's Treasures could possibly open sometime in late July- early august.

I know that a lot of people are complaining about the amount of time this is taking to build, but watching the video made construction seem like it was standing still for me. I'm not used to being around a construction site and I know this is how it is (everything is very deliberate and things do take their time), but it just felt like time stopped with how things were being built in the video.

I think the part that’s the most exciting is the “new show effect technology” and the “animated characters.” Any thoughts guys on what kind of show effects this show could feature. Also when he said animated figures, does that mean like minimal motion figures or full AA’s?

I assume this is something Disney put together for the press.

That's what I'd like to know. If the dwarves aren't much more mobile than they were in SWSA, then to heck with it. That's not much better than Disco Yeti.

Apparently Snow White and the Queen will be in this ride a la past homages to former rides.
I agree that the landscaping will likely be awesome if it matches Belle's area. The forest areas of FLE have a great naturalistic appeal, similar to Carsland. More trees and shade is always appreciated in Orlando.
Having said that . . . Disney already knows that attractions such as Splash, with a duel thrill ride aspect and a decent number of show scenes telling a story are instant classics. And Snow White is better, IMHO, than Song of the South when it comes to a compelling story that can be turned into an exciting ride.
I wish they put 7DMT where Mermaid is and then they could've expanded north into the expansion plot for a large showbuilding to house perhaps 6-9 show scenes based on events in the film, and made the ride 6-7 minutes instead of just 3.5 minutes (some of which will be spent going up lift hills). And they could have put Mermaid where Belle is, giving it access to a showbuilding in the northern expansion plots. As is, FLE didn't seem very well planned out in terms of showbuildings and placement of ride.
If something had to be "isolated" in the middle of FLE, it should have been BoG and ETwB as these don't require a large amount of land.
