[Daizylover]

What's the latest word about the completion date for the Mine Train. Will it be up and running by Dec.?

Thanks

 

[Mad Hattered]

I highly doubt it. I'm thinking more like February.

Spring 2014 is still the official target.

Dec? Yes.

2013? No.

I'm pretty sure it will open Feb. 1st.

Because that's the day after our trip ends.

Kinda holding out hope we'll get to ride it but OTOH I imagine if it's not quite open yet the parks will be less crowded because a lot of folks will probably want to wait for the new ride to open?

Anyway we'll see.

Thanks everybody for your input. I'm sure hoping it'll be done by March.

Thanks for the pix. Visiting next week, seems like MK will never be without construction barriers, cranes and scrims. I guess that's what they call progress. It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.

Yes, thanks for the link to the pix. But when were those taken? I didn't see a date on the site.

Looks like they are as far along as new Harry Potter land. Except that FLE started two years before that...

Going in April. Really hoping that counts as "Spring 2014"!!!

 

[Daizylover]

Me too.

They were posted on the site yesterday morning, probably taken on Wednesday, the 4th.

Just a hunch, but I would think for a "Spring 2014" target they'd try to have it open for the spring break crowds.

Can you walk past Journey of the Little Mermaid into the Casey Jr./Dumbo area yet ? When we were there in February, the Little Mermaid area ended with a construction wall. The path around the backside was not open yet.

Yes. It is now open most of the time.

One of the reasons I can see for the Mine Train to take so long to build: They need to make a lot of "natural terrain" which is viewable from all sides. It's not just a facade like so many other buildings. Every beam and panel was being shaped and put into place.. painstakingly slow!

I've had an AP since May '11... watched the progress of this thing since the beginning. We took a break in the middle, and my current AP expires at the end of the year. I think it's utterly ridiculous that it STILL won't be finished. Not impressed.

Yep, when we were there in Aug it was open!

Thanks everyone. I am glad to hear the traffic flow will be easier in that area.
