Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis
As I noticed in the video, it seems like there is a nice uphill helix leading to the "Mini Everest"(That is what it looks like to me lol..) drop. I am very exited for this because of the singular lapbars for one. (I prefer that over the huge lapbar on BTMRR.. I'm not the biggest fan of airtime unless it is on tot. I feel as if I am going to fall out of the car lol.) And, the swinging cars
I might possibly be there when it opens, crossing fingers for that opportunity!

Just another testing video showing them testing the E-Stops too. The lifthill's are surprisingly fast and you can see from the video that the back seat looks to provide a good fun ride.

Always impressive how well they can theme something to look aged and natural, but not dirty.

Hmm, the only problem I have with this ride is that it doesn't seem organic enough. Yes it has rocks bla bla, but it doesn't really blend too well in my opinion. Looking at how Big Grizzly Minetrain was designed, and this, its not of the same standard. Biggest gripe is that this has loads of thin rock walls that surround the ride, whereas BGM just fits in and is all very low down without these silly rock walls, which makes it less interactive.
BUT, it still looks flipping amazing and Vekoma look to have done a wonderful job with the track design and pace of the ride, looking at test footage. I'm excited to see a full pov of this and to hopefully ride it!

Ok I don't think I communicated my point well..
I get that it has to be more cartoony and if we take that example, the look and interaction/integration of Splash Mountain in its land, is far superior to this. 7 Dwarfs feels very RCT in the way that they've used a high concrete wall to separate you from the ride. It just feels plonked there, and it doesn't have to fit in with anything as its an entirely new extension plot, so thats not an excuse for it.. I just think that more could have been done so that everybody isn't surround by concrete, which is whats happened. Thats what I mean by organic. It just doesn't feel like it belongs there and thats totally down to what I've mentioned.

It is plonked there though, they have done a great job to fit it into an area that size.
Splash mountain they had land to play with, here it's very tight.
For me though it does fit into the area in WDW. I would say in Paris and California it would not fit at all. The area in Orlando has always felt and looked different from the others.
This has had to be built in an area that has been there since day one.
We need to remember as well this was a very last minute addition to the expansion and was originally not in the plans.
I sort to know what you mean, but it was always going to look like this and there was nothing they can do to make it different.
I've always been the same with Everest, it's just there totally different to anything else in the park. I had been to the park when it was not there so just always felt it did not belong when it was there.

Looks fun, but I was never expecting the next incarnation of BTMRR either. Maybe I'll actually be able to get the wife's coaster count up to six.

Shame it's in the dark but I suppose they're only teasing us
The inside area looks spectacular. All being well in less than 5 months time I'll be on this coaster and, even though it's a family coaster, I'm really looking forward to it
