Earlier today, Walt Disney World hosted a special dedication ceremony for the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction at The Magic Kingdom. During the event, Tom Staggs officially announced that the new attraction will officially open to guests on May 28th.

The family-style coaster features an innovative new ride system that allows cars to swing back and forth as they travel down the track. The cars are even designed to reflect similar vehicles that appear in the film, handmade of wood by the Dwarfs, shaped by an axe, and used to haul rocks and jewels.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train also uses the latest in technology featuring some of the most advanced and charming Audio-Animatronics figures we’ve ever created. Adding to the fun, the journey will be accompanied by music from the film classic and scenes filled with Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs and playful forest critters.
