New Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Queue Details Released


Work on the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at the Magic Kingdom Park seems to have been going on since the creation of this planet, but the (still-unannounced) opening day for this new attraction is fast approaching. For this reason, the Walt Disney World Resort just released a few new information regarding this new addition, which will be opening later this Spring at the park. The new details mostly focus on the queue line and some of the show elements that will be part of the experience. Take a look, and let us know what you think:


- SEVEN DWARFS MINE TRAIN -

Rock Around Like Never Before
Embark for family-friendly thrills as you enjoy the twistiest, turniest, rollickingest ride in New Fantasyland. Showcasing a first-of-its kind coaster system, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train cruises along through a fabulous mine—glittering with diamonds, emeralds and other precious gems—swinging and swaying Guests up large lifts, across sharp banks and around exhilarating turns.

Come feel a rush of enchantment and excitement too as you take off on this all-new addition to Magic Kingdom park! Plus, be on the lookout for several favorite characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs—they’re all here, recreated in vivid detail using innovative technology that brings their 3-dimensional expressions to life.

Fantastic Fun from Start to Finish
Follow the path of forest creatures as you pass a cozy woodland cottage on your way to the mountain slope. From its footprints, enter the mine of the Seven Dwarfs, where a treasure trove of experiences awaits!

Help Doc at an Interactive Queue 
Within a covered wooden tunnel carved into the mountainside, discover a series of mining stations prepared by Doc, each one a gem of its own:
  • Jewel Sorting – Follow Doc’s instructions, etched into a nearby plank, and help match jewels by color and shape as they flow down a wooden trough—a.k.a. dozens of touch-screen video displays.
  • Jewel Washing – After the jewels are sorted, grab ahold of a musical water spigot and start cleaning. Each spigot plays its own melody—heed Doc’s tips and you may hear a collection of familiar tunes!
  • The Vault – Inside the door of the mountain, enter the center of the vault to find a collection of wooden barrels overflowing with glowing stones. Turn each barrel to see the ceiling above you transformed!
Climb Aboard for an Adventure 
Hop into your mine cart—hewn together with wood, metal bands and nails—and get ready for a ride like no other as your train departs, winding down and around before starting its ascent up a steep hill.

Near the peak, beware the broken track that lies before you, along with 2 ominous vultures perched atop an abandoned jib crane. Peer beyond the sea of empty crates and barrels, and listen closely to hear a familiar song being sung from the depths of the mountain.

Once you reach the tippy top, hold on tight—this adventure’s only getting started!

Sing Along on a Rocking Ride 
Feel the wind in your face when your cart teeters over the crest, traveling down and around the mountain and deep into the mine shaft. Soon, the dark begins to sparkle as you happen upon the Seven Dwarfs hard at work—whistling and singing while collecting diamonds, rubies and other shining jewels.

All your Dwarf friends are accounted for—Sleepy, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Sneezy, Bashful and Doc—as you careen through the cavern and climb toward an opening to the outside world. At the top, soak up an inspiring view of New Fantasyland before arriving back to the foot of the mountain.

After passing behind a waterfall, prepare for a party as you peek inside a rustic cottage where Snow White and her Dwarf friends are dancing in celebration, just as this rocking ride comes to an end!

  1. The kid will love it, and that's the whole point. The reality is that most of Disney's interactive queues are really just periodic "touch me" sorts of things scattered along the walk. Space Mountain, I'm looking at you!

    The best queues are places like Expedition Everest, where there is a lot to look at, read yourself, read to your kids, watch some process going on, or even the short film that you want to stay behind and finish watching.

    This sounds much more elaborate, so we'll just have to wait and see!

  2. At least Space Mountain is a fully fledged game. (I think Soarin is the same way, but I haven't been through the standby line in years.) That's much more entertaining than Haunted Mansion, Pooh, Big Thunder...
