Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Construction Update from Disney World

Construction on the last attraction remaining to be completed for the New Fantasyland expansion at the Magic Kingdom has taken some exciting leaps since we last checked in. Although they weren’t testing on the day I was there, as you can see above, a complete train has been added to the tracks of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster. That’s an exciting bit of progress, but the attraction still is set to open sometime in 2014 with no official date yet announced.

Here’s more video from around the mountain and through the peek windows. Sadly the windows are getting progressively dirtier, but you can still make out most of the detail. I’m most excited about how the buildings that will house the entrance and exit queue are coming along. Notice the steel construction, gotta be hurricane proof in Orlando.

Thanks for watching. I’ve added a few photos below the jump if you can’t watch the video:

Still adding rockwork to the top of the mountain

One of two drops

Added a fence marking the outside of the attraction

Looks like small show building

Buildings to house the entrance or exit queue

A nice steampunk-esque sign even if it’s another DVC sales location (how many of those do we need, really)

On top of the building is a fantastic squid weathervane. Nice detail

Still lots of work to go just to finish the faux rock

A peak through the other window

work has not progressed as far over here.

I can’t wait to see this with all the details filled in. Like the Matterhorn at Disneyland, you’ll be able to walk all the way around this mountain, so the detail has to be lush.
