Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Fun Facts
Did you know?
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was not the first Snow White themed attraction at the Magic Kingdom. This new attraction replaced Snow White’s Scary Adventure. Though the two are very different attractions with this one, of course, being a roller coaster, and Snow White’s Scary Adventure being a slow moving dark ride.
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train features some figures from Snow White’s Scary Adventure. These include: Grumpy, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, and Happy.
- Innovative Imagineering techniques were applied to this attraction. The swinging mine train carts had never been used on a roller coaster before, and the projected faces on the animatronics of the seven dwarfs utilized new projection mapping technology.
- Many features of this attraction come straight from scenes of the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs movie. The shadows of the Seven Dwarfs marching up from the mine, the vultures, the cabin scene at the conclusion of the ride, and the ride vehicles themselves are all exact representations of scenes from the film.
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was the fourth roller coaster to reside in the Fantasyland section of a Disney park after Disneyland Park’s “Matterhorn Bobsleds” (1959 to present), Disneyland Park Paris’s “Casey Jr. Circus Train” (1994 to present), and the Magic Kingdom’s The Barnstormer (2012 to present in Fantasyland; 1996 to 2011 in “Mickey’s Toontown Fair”). Although California’s Disneyland Park also has a “Casey Jr. Circus Train,” this version uses a regular train track as opposed to the tubular steel track featured in the Paris version.
- In 2016, a second version of “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train” opened in Fantasyland at the new Shanghai Disneyland Park. Considering that California’s version of Casey Jr. Circus Train, unlike the Paris version, is not a roller coaster, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is the first Fantasyland roller coaster to be cloned in the Fantasyland of another Disney park.
