Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is asteel roller coaster located atMagic Kingdom andShanghai Disneyland. Manufactured byVekoma, the roller coaster is situated in theFantasyland sections of both parks.[5] The Magic Kingdom version opened to the public on May 28, 2014, as part of a major park expansion calledNew Fantasyland as part of the section ofEnchanted Forest,[6] while the Shanghai version opened on June 16, 2016.[1][2] The ride is themed toWalt Disney's 1937 filmSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length, traditionally-animated feature film.
The Fantasyland section of the Magic Kingdom underwent a large expansion and renovation from March 2010[7] through May 2014.[8][9] As part of the expansion, the Magic Kingdom's original Snow White attraction,Snow White's Scary Adventures, was permanently closed on May 31, 2012, and replaced with Princess Fairytale Hall, a newDisney Princess meet and greet.[9] A new area themed toSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs, featuringSnow White's cottage and the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster, was dedicated on May 28, 2014, and officially opened on May 28, 2014.[10][11] The ride soft-opened in the Magic Kingdom on May 21, 2014,[12] fully opening a week later on May 28, 2014, replacing20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage (1971-94) and Pooh's Playful Spot (2005-10).
The queue for this attraction hosts a few interactive activities. One was a gem-sorting game where guests match up three jewels of different shape but the same color, but has since been replaced with an overlay of immovable physical gems. There is also a spot with barrels full of gems that guests spin to create reflective animations of theSeven Dwarfs on the ceiling. If all of the dwarfs are present on the ceiling, an animation of Snow White appears in the middle of the Dwarfs' animations. Finally there are the "musical spigots," a gem washing station with wooden taps carved to woodland animals. There are 12 spigots each representing a note on thechromatic scale.[13]
The ride travels bothindoors and outdoors, similar toFrontierland's major attractions,Big Thunder Mountain Railroad andTiana's Bayou Adventure. Unlike roller coasters such as theIncredicoaster andRock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, this attraction is designed to appeal to a family-oriented crowd with enchanting scenery and cartoonish architecture; it retains details from the original 1937 film.[14] The attraction features a new ride system of a "tilting vehicle". This new technology simulates the swaying and tipping one would expect to experience in a mine cart.[8][15]
Songs from the film, such as "Heigh-Ho", are featured in the attraction.[16] Most of theAudio-Animatronics, including the Dwarf figures of Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, and Bashful performingtheir Yodel Song in the final scene, are recycled from the demolishedSnow White's Scary Adventures attraction. Additionally, the vulture figures from the previous attraction ride are perched on a mining structure early in the ride. Many of the figures within the cave are new designs from the animation team, with the most important and recognizable contribution being Doc's high range of motion, two-degree-of-freedom wrist.[16][17]
The ride features twoon-ride cameras that provide videos and pictures for guests to buy throughDisney's PhotoPass, which it began doing on September 18, 2014.[18] It is one of three Walt Disney World attractions to provide videos for guests, the others beingThe Twilight Zone Tower of Terror,[19][20] andTRON Lightcycle / Run. Unlike certain attractions at Walt Disney World with on-ride cameras, there are no monitors to view the ride pictures and are instead automatically added to a guest'sMy Disney Experience account via the guest's RFID-enabledMagicBand linked to the account, if riding with one on their wrist, or via Bluetooth if riding with a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone without a MagicBand.
The ride layouts are the same in the Florida and Shanghai versions of the ride. The major differences between the two are that the Shanghai version has all its songs in Mandarin instead of English. Also at the final brake run, while both versions have a hut with Snow White dancing, the Florida version is much closer to the tracks as compared to the Shanghai version, where a well with several animals playing inside it is in place.
