Walt Disney World - Magic Kingdom

[Alex]

As I said earlier

I very much doubt its opening then considering they only put out the advert for hiring people last week. Also the media preview event is on 30th April which would suggest an early May opening

The media event is on 30th April so that wont be the opening date

I can also point out that opening hours makes Disney more value for money than Alton Towers. Like for £48 the park is open 10am to 6pm on average. Disney is $96 with the exchange rate at the moment works out to be £57.77 and the Magic Kingdom park is open 9am to 12am on average this week to all guests.

So it's an old video but shows some decent testing footage and final bits of theming has been completed such as fake grass and flowers puton parts of the mountain:



Enjoy!

So today has seen some more of the construction walls been taken down giving some great views of the ride:

Small update today. It has been confirmed that cast members will begin training to run the seven dwarfs mine train on April 30th!
It's all coming together now

Was hoping for a duel loading station to keep the queues always moving as we going next in 2016 with our then 4 year old and she wouldn't want to queue for hours.

Use Fast Pass?

A brilliant picture update on DPB showing the detail of the cottage which I believe the train interacts with and queue line. It really does look amazing and the attention to detail I cannot even put in to words how incredible it is.

An update now with the confirmation that the media event will take place between April 30th and May 2nd. The text also states that the rides official opening could be before or after these dates and the invitation doesn't label it as the rides grand opening or anything of the kind
Looks like it could open as early as a few weeks!

Enjoy!

[Alex]

Looks like I was right with what I said on the 14th February then

[Danny]

Well everyone knew the media event was then so it wouldn't take a lot to think that if the media event was April 30th that it would actually open in May considering April only has 30 days

[Alex]

From what you said before that im not sure everyone is the correct term to use

[Danny]

What I said was quoting what another website had stated. Of course everyone would like to see a ride ready earlier, but insinuating I didn't know, well I can assure you I did

[Alex]

Maybe you should have posted that then to avoid confusion at a later date then, like what has occurred now. Also it would have informed other people who do not have as much knowledge as yourself

[Danny]

Only seems to be you who is confused. Feel free to PM

[Alex]

I dont see how I am confused, maybe you can provide some insight via PM

[Dom]

Found this testing pov on youtube

They look amazing and some of the most incredible theming I've ever seen on a ride. If you look back at some of my older updates you can see i say that a lot but they just keep giving more and more and making it more amazing!

Enjoy!
