Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

[Laurabelle84]

Just a wondering I've had for a while - does anyone know why this wait for this ride is always so long?

We went on it last year with our 3 year old - think we waited close to 90/100 mins (would never wait that long normally) as he is a wee daredevil & we were restricted really to what thrill rides he could go on due to his height, naturally. Luckily he was great in the queue and didn't really moan

But the ride was just OK, nothing spectacular so makes me wonder why its so busy all the time? If it was new I'd get it but it's been around for years.

Maybe answered my own question by saying it's 1 of the only few big-ish rides the youngsters can get on? x

It may not be new but it's still the newest ride in MK! Also it's capacity isn't very high compared to some other rides. Plus as you say, it's a good 1st coaster for little kids who are too small to ride BTM etc

the trains only hold 20 punters at a time so isnt a massive throughput

i asked a staff member last viti

I'm guessing this is one of the biggest issues with the long queues, it has always amazed me that Disney decided to put so few passengers on at a time with Seven Dwarfs. Everest holds around 34 passengers on each train, which is a BIG difference.

I actually really love it- I know its short and not as thrilling as others but I love the mine part of it. I think its a combination of relative newness, height restrictions being less and low capacity. its also quite central in the park in fantasy land. So prob higher thoroughfare.

I'm a wuss and not into thrill rides - Splash Mountain is my limit - and this is perfect for me plus I love the section inside the mine. It's fun watching the video back too

agree, i bagged fp for this in 2018 when queues were hours long and had no idea what the fuss was about.

I waited over an hour the first time I rode this. I was disappointed when I got off it's definitely not worth the wait.

The throughput is very low on this ride which doesn't help the queues.

Not worth the wait in my opinion. It's ok with decent effects... but Big Thunder Mountain much much better.

suppose as its built in quite a small footprint there is a limit on how big/long the trains can be
