Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 All that being said, you'll be there to give us a no-nonsense review of the ride during soft opening, right? Darn tootin' I'm guessing mid April would work. TCD BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 More photos, videos and info from Inside the Magic...http://www.insidethemagic.net/2014/02/first-seven-dwarfs-mine-train-ride-through-video-shared-by-walt-disney-world-as-final-gem-of-new-fantasyland-nears-completion/ Some highlights... During a live chat with Imagineer Dave Minichiello on the Disney Parks Blog, a sneak preview of the inside of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride was revealed through a newly released video ride-through. The ride vehicles themselves are emphasized as the star of the attraction, featuring the ability to rock left and ride while navigating turns. “It’s a completely new experience - not only having the sensation of pivoting back and forth and it varies throughout the attraction,” wrote Minichiello. “You feel differences in the various terrain around the mountain.” Little else was added about the upcoming ride, though it was noted that progress is moving along inside the attraction, as props are being added to the Dwarfs’ cottage, paint on the rock work, and a forest is appearing throughout the ride’s exterior. The ride’s interactive queue will offer guests a chance to sort and wash the Dwarfs’ jewels and venture into their vault for the first time. The queue will include a song that was originally written for the “Snow White” film called “Music In Your Soup,” in a new instrumental version as if it was played by the Seven Dwarfs. The height requirement to ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will be 38″. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is scheduled to open in Spring 2014, with no specific opening date offered yet.

DinDavie 37 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 OK so he said the ride would be good for the whole family. My grandson will be 20 months old by then. Does anyone know if he will be old enough for the ride or will I be sitting outside with him while the rest of the family go on the ride? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DinDavie 37 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just saw the 38 inch requirement. Guess I will be sitting a spell. Hope there is some kind of other entertainment in the area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 They've started the staffing process, so it's getting close. Hope there is some kind of other entertainment in the area. Nope, there is absolutely nothing else in the Magic Kingdom to entertain you. Helmsey......Todd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope there is some kind of other entertainment in the area.Don't forget you can do the swap, so you can ride too. And if there are other kids in the party (or kids at heart), they can ride twice.

Lou... 3,118 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Does anyone else think it looks really slow? For the coaster purists, another Disney snooze-fest. If the Dwarfs practiced better hygiene their jewels wouldn't need washing. (someone had to say it) No, someone didn't have to say it. I really need to remember not be drinking something when reading Lou's replies. Unfortunately for the poster, they gave me an opening that you could drive a Mack truck bus through, I had to do it.Come on, with a statement like, "Hope there is some kind of other entertainment in the area", how could I leave it alone. We're talking about being at the Magic Kingdom.They haven't posted since, oh well. Am I going to catch it from the anti-snarky brigade.... again.That's ok, I'll make up for it by doubling my membership dues. Fixed that for you. It helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 From Inside the Magic... Walt Disney World delivers Seven Dwarfs Mine Train invitation with dedication planned for May in press preview eventby Ricky BrigantePosted on April 4, 2014 Today Walt Disney World sent out elaborate press kits as invitations to their upcoming summer media event that will include the official dedication of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. The event will take place April 30 - May 2, as previously revealed, focusing on unveiling the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train to the world but also showcasing MyMagic+, the Festival of Fantasy parade, and the rest of New Fantasyland. But the wording of the invitation is very careful, never noting that this is a “grand opening” for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, instead calling it a “first look,” “preview,” and “dedication,” leaving the door open for the attraction to publicly debut sooner or later than during these dates. Also included in the event will be an “Around Our World” presentation with a look at the future of Walt Disney World, Disney Vacation Club, Disney Cruise Line, and Adventures by Disney, along with a kickoff of the “Rock Your Disney Side” summer. The invitation itself arrived straight out of the Dwarfs’ mine, wrapped in hay and featuring mock train tickets to see the new attractions, as well as a booklet of “gems” to discover throughout the Magic Kingdom, and a map to help find them. Below is an unboxing of the invitation. A few photo excerpts...

sherryberry 35 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 So, preview April 30 - May 2 and then they can do Grand Opening on May 3? That would work out great since that's the week I'm there! :) We probably can't swing an annual pass right now, but might get a multi-day pass - because I would hate to be there when it opens, and not ride it!

devores 382 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I hate when companies do this. I can understand a press event. That not what I hate. I hate that any yahoo with a blog is considered press now. Most aren't even accurate, good, or worth reading. An example is I was working with the blue angles one year and they had a press event where they took reporters up for a ride in thier jets. 75% of the "reporters" were young 20 something's who had a blog. Most didn't even blog about aviation. But they got special treatment and rode in the jet because of thier blog. Meanwhile, the disard veterans had to sit watch this all happen with no chance of a ride. The "reporters" didn't have camera crews or recording equipment or even take notes. They took pictures with thier cell phones or video with thier cell phones. And thatS considered news worthy these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He does write news articles for an Orlando paper as well about Disney and is really very thorough on his coverage. Now if Josh gets one in his mother's basement that's a different story.

I have seen several ITM videos and reports and the video usually sucks. Its shaky and not from a very good vantage point. They also post rumors and self appointed truths. To me, that's not news worthy. Yes, they do get some stuff right and post some good stuff. But allot of it is stuff gleaned from the internet off other sites and just posted on theirs and the other stuff has more of a "look what I got to see/do" tone rather than a news article.
