CELEBRATION — When you wish upon a star, and if you have a slew of Disney imagineers at your disposal, magic happens.
If this new video is any indication of that statement, Disney Parks have done it again with their new-this-year attraction, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
"The ride system is unlike anything we've seen," Disney expert Lou Mongello told USA Today. "It looks and acts like a true mine cart while still being accessible enough for kids, parents and the entire family."
The three pillars that make this attraction fresh and new are a unique ride system with swaying carts, the interactive features located in the line waiting areas and the advanced auto-animatronics within the ride.
Have You Seen This? Tiny Hamster feels Disney World magic
When an Internet-famous hamster was invited to Walt Disney World, tiny adorableness happened.The ride is smooth, the drops are easy and there's even a slow section in the middle where you see the dwarves at work. This, of course, is where the auto-animatronics shine.
But perhaps the neatest of the developments, which are all previewed in the video above, are the interactive features to keep children and adults alike entertained while waiting in line. There's an electronic gem game, a barrel spinning game, and last but not least, a water spigots system that plays chimes when you put your hands under the streams. It's more magical than it sounds.
To learn more about how the coaster works and what went into the painstaking details of the attraction, watch the video above and visit USAToday.com.
The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction opened at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom on May 28, 2014.
