The story of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opened on May 28, 2014, completing the New Fantasyland expansion at Magic Kingdom. Trade coverage presented it as a family-style steel coaster and a substantial new addition to the park. thewaltdisneycompany.com· amusementtoday.com
Walt Disney Imagineering and Vekoma worked together on the design and engineering. The distinguishing achievement was a train whose cars swing from side to side as the railway bends and descends. vekoma.com· thewaltdisneycompany.com
The attraction was developed as a custom swaying-car family coaster rather than a standard railway installation. Its steel track was arranged for a journey through both enclosed and open sections of the mine setting. amusementtoday.com· coasterpedia.net
Amusement Today recorded the project at a cost of 150 million U.S. dollars, a considerable piece of engineering for the park's 2014 expansion. The ride remains in operation at Magic Kingdom. amusementtoday.com· coasterpedia.net
