I wonder if it's a launch boost at 0:59?

I don't think so, I walked by that part the other day (it is directly across from Be Our Guest), it looks like its just an up helix into a block brake, then a drop.

On ride looks faster than I thought it would be tbh.

It's a very nice little coaster, can see it having very poor through put though.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

I guess I'm still trying to figure out if this will be more or less intense than the likes of Matterhorn or Thunder Mountain.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

Disney Said Less intense than Big Thunder Mountain Railroad... They were trying to emphasize Family Coaster I think
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

It's not going to be intense in the slightest. Fact.

Screamscape linked to a video showing how they're creating the dwarfs, using a combination of animatronics and projection; they look **** ing stunning!

Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

Wow, that's amazing! Disney really improve on their animatronics again, didn't think it was possible after what they did with some of them in Mystic Manor.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

They look much much better (as you'd expect) than those projections onto dummies they do at the London dungeons. Really can't wait for this.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

If anyone is going this summer it will be on the fastpass + system next week.

Could save hour queues.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

Looks great! The projected faces are presumably the same tech as on Radiator Springs Racers, really makes the figures come alive.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

^^I don't know about Radiator Springs, but apparently the faces of the dwarfs are projected from inside the animatronic.

There's also a rumour that they will use this technology for Disneyland California next year, for the anniversary, to update Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

Yes it's the same as what it being used on the cars ride, but improved.

It looks great, I really don't care that this is just a family coaster the theming makes this one of the best themed coasters.

Cannot wait to ride it.

Checked with the wife today and there is still no news on a Cast Member preview day(s). Usually the preview day(s) happens in the week leading up to soft opening.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

I think Mr. Potato Head was the first use of this projection technology... or maybe that one was the interactive element... I forget.

I believe the Buzz lightyear animatronic in the queue line for Buzz Lightyear laser blast was the first to use the
projection technology.

Looks much improved on the dwarfs though.
 
Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis

^ Yeah, never been that impressed with the Buzz Lightyear effort. I didn't even consider that it was the same technology since it's so vastly inferior to this new version.
