Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction brings state of the art tech to attractions
Posted
Tourists crowding onto Walt Disney World's new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction this week in Florida got a glimpse of a new direction for theme parks looking to upgrade old technology. In place of old attractions, Disney built the mine train, an entirely new ride system that combines elements of a roller coaster and the classic themed dark rides, with audio-animatronic figures considered the most lifelike in the industry.

You act like I live next door to Magic Kingdom or something (as I see the flashes from Wishes reflect off of my window). Haven't been over there in awhile, but we did get some Fastpasses for it in two or three weeks.

I very much enjoyed the coaster (it was open for the 24-hour event). We waited around 45-50 minutes, but it went by very quickly. Disney's efforts to make queues more enjoyable seem to be paying off, and SDMT was no exception.
It's a rather mild ride, as I think most were expecting, but it's a good time. It's like a super Big Thunder Mountain Railroad from my perspective, and the animatronics were very cool. It'll definitely be a staple of my visits to the park.
