Have seen live reports elsewhere that guests are currently in line for 7DMT. Woohoo! Can't wait for Friday!

Over now and they said that was it for tests this morning

Darn...thanks for the heads up though! Did you get to ride?

Just missed it!! Here at MK. I noticed a crowd around 7DMT. They just let a few people on for "testing" and closed it. CM said it was not a soft opening, just testing this morning briefly.

They always needed their ID. It states on the back of the Mine train pass they needed it.

There's a chance someone wasn't enforcing it like they were supposed to. Lol.

Good point! We never did get to see CMs board, so not sure how/when their passes/ID stuff got checked - just saw lots of different people riding (all in regular-touristy clothes!) at many times during the day. All with HUGE smiles on their faces....!

Found a guest pic! So unless these are the youngest CMs ever they 100% let some guests ride: http://instagram.com/p/oQxNJEQvcH/

We just got to ride about an hour ago. They opened for about 15 minutes then closed again.

Wow! Very special that you got to ride. Hoping for more soft openings this weekend. Of course my last day is the 27th

Then it was likely just CMs you saw.

No not CMs. Families with strollers, the elderly, 5 year Olds this was park guests. I had the opportunity to ride but did pooh instead because roller coasters make me nauseous and I had just ate at CP so for the sake of my stomach I did not. They said I could ride, however. & I am not a CM nor were the people who went on.

All the pics I'm seeing are making me smile ad I am very far away right now. Kids looking ecstatic. Living vicariously.

might be time to go up there and start staking out the mine train entrance

They only did about 20 mins of non CM rides. Now none and saying "technical difficulties". We will keep trying!

 

[BenKling]

They were testing with guests for about 15 minutes... Asked a cm, was told to "try later today". Got a cinnamon roll, and walked by again to see people in line. By the time we got to the line they had "gotten the people they needed for the test", and weren't sure if they would do anymore testing today.

:-(

I'm at MK now & they did a soft opening for guests this morning for an hour or so. Only cast members at the minute (some have been evacuated off the ride as I type lol). They said there may be another soft opening but not 100% on when. They have just said that if they do it, it won't be for another 2 hours.

 

[backfire103]

Just got to MK after seeing the news. I'll plan on checking over there whenever I can an I'll keep an eye on this thread.
