mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Can't wait to ride at least once, hope there will be FP+ left as we won't be buying tickets till arriving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Dang it. I wanted First Fiend to Ride Mine Train Bragging Rights! Great photos, Dave. Especially since they are just from your phone. Since it doesn't look like I'm going to catch a soft opening, it's going to take me a long time to ride this one 14 times. Hopefully, I'll ride it a few times before the end of the month. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCDSorry Andrew. Had to beat you at something..... How does that line go? Oh yeh, its good to Devores................. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Sorry Andrew. Had to beat you at something..... How does that line go? Oh yeh, its good to Devores................. LOL. If it weren't you, I'd be complaining about the fact that CM's get unlimited rides, while passholders get nothing. Not very cool on Disney's part. But typical of how things have gone lately. At least I can schedule FP+'s in advance for the Mine Train. I've got you there. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Santa ... Shannon 160 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Has anyone ridden after dark? My only chance will probably be during MVMCP, and am wondering if the outside theming is visible at night. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Has anyone ridden after dark? It doesn't officially open until the 28th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Santa ... Shannon 160 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I understand, but it sound like a few select fiends cms have ridden it many times, I was just wondering if any of those were after dark... Or has anyone seen how the ride is lit after dark? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 It doesn't officially open until the 28th.Awesome. We get to orlando on the 31st but my FP+ isn't till the 3rd or 4th. So unless TCD or another fiend gets there earlier. I might be the first non-CM to ride it. Does anyone else have FP+ before me or planning on being there before me?

Or has anyone seen how the ride is lit after dark? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk As far as I know, the only Fiend who has ridden it so far is Devores. He has not reported any night rides. I have walked completely around the new "mountain" several times in the evening since the construction walls have come down. The landscaping and lighting are outstanding. There are also speakers playing cricket sounds as well as fake bird calls. It is very well done. Like Big Thunder Mountain, I suspect that I may prefer to ride it at night. Awesome.

devores 382 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 No night rides yet. The testing was only conducted during daylight hours. Of course, daylight is until around 9pm now a days. But as TCD has said, there is very well themed lighting all throughout the ride area and should make for a great ride experience. Not sure how different it will be. And I like how the honors keep changing. Went from first fiend to ride, to first non cm fiend to ride. Whats next? First fiend named Dave to ride? Wait, nailed that one too.......

That's how bragging rights work. I am shooting for First Fiend to Ride at Night Bragging Rights now. And maybe First Fiend to Ride via FP+ Bragging Rights. If I don't make those, I have more- like First Fiend To Ride With Venti Mocha Frapacchino Bragging Rights. I can go on. But, I think I made my point. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm hoping to get the First Fiend Crazy Enough to Drive 1400 Miles for 24 Hours Bragging Rights. Which reminds me... I need to go pack the car... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CandJDisney..Chris/Jessie 4 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 We get there the 31st as well. I booked fast passes for it that night.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 From WDWMagic... The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at the Magic Kingdom has soft opened to guests this morning.A limited number of guests in the Fantasyland area were able to ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train coaster during intermittent soft openings. We have had a number of reports from guests who rode with varying wait times from walk-on to 20 minutes. http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/fantasyland/news/21may2014-seven-dwarfs-mine-train-soft-opens-to-guests.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I was just coming here to mention that. They are doing a soft opening today. But as mentioned, there is no guarantee it will be running when you try. So, who will be the first non cm fiend to ride? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Sounds about right. A week away from the official opening. I might be the first non-CM to ride it. That possibility is slip slidin away. But if it's any consolation, unless Andrew gets over to WDW by tomorrow, he won't be the first either.We could have a dark horse be the first, JJBescher is there until tomorrow.

h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah. I don't think I'll be the first fiend. But I bet I'll be the first fiend from oklahoma who is of German and Puerto Rican decent with his 9 yr old DD and his DW pushing a giant stroller taking pictures with his iPad and looking quite dapper in his jorts and sandals with black socks. Beat that one TCD!!! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
