![]() ![]() ** In short, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is not a scary ride for most youngsters, and it’s not boring for children and adults who seek bigger thrills. There are three interactive areas that are really cute, and the FastPass+ queue bypasses two of them. ![]() ** If the stand-by queue is not too long for your day’s schedule, choose that option at least once. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train certainly accomplished that with its adventuresome theming. They needed an attraction that would give boys and dads a reason to venture behind Cinderella Castle (aside from accompanying sisters and moms, of course). It’s been said that Disney planners went back to the drawing board when they realized that a substantial amount of real estate in New Fantasyland was dedicated to the Disney Princesses (and, originally, Disney Fairies). The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was a late addition to the development of New Fantasyland. ** In its quest to create a new experience that would appeal to the widest audience, Disney seemingly took the gender of its guests into account. Guests are queued through a landscaped outdoor setting before heading to the mine entrance, and even inside queues are lit up by dazzling “jewels.” The ride itself focuses on the lovable Seven Dwarfs rather than the Evil Queen as Snow White’s Scary Adventures did, and the theming throughout the coaster is amazing and what guests would expect from a dark ride. ** Unlike the now-defunct Snow White’s Scary Adventures, the storytelling throughout this attraction based on Disney’s animated version of “Snow White” is not at all frightening. This again points to the kid-friendly nature of the ride. ** The minimum-height requirement for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is 38 inches, compared with 35 inches for the Barnstormer and 40 inches for the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Individual cars sway gently from side to side during the 2.5-minute ride, and still my husband said after riding it that the Mine Train is among the smoothest and tamest coasters at Walt Disney World. With that concept in mind, Disney Imagineers developed a gentle roller coaster that many who previewed it - including our own Deb Wills - rank in between Goofy’s Barnstormer and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad on the nail-biter scale. ![]() ** Perhaps the most important thing to understand about this attraction is that it was not designed to be a thrill ride, but rather an experience that would appeal to (almost) all ages.
