Seven Dwarfs Mine Train


Description from PassPorter's Walt Disney World Guidebook:

This moderate roller coaster boasts an innovative ride vehicle that pendulum-swings from side to side as you ride the banked curves of the Seven Dwarfs’ fabled mine. It’s something of a cross between Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain. The journey begins like any tubular-track coaster, up and into the mine. Inside, the track levels out and you pass Audio-Animatronics depicting scenes from Snow White. Then, emerge from the mine to finish up with short drops and fast turns. 38” (97 cm.) height restriction. If you do not have a FastPass+ reservation, make a beeline for this first thing in the morning. Alex’s KidTip: “I think it’s too scary and fast for kids who don’t like coasters.”

What PassPorter Readers Think of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (78 comments):

We finally got to ride this recently and we loved it! The ride is so smooth and it's fun both day and night. Although the lines are long it is worth not Fastpassing it once to play in the queue. I especially love the scenes with the Dwarfs.

A perfect family Roller Coaster with some extra magic thrown in!
Principesa gave this a rating of 10 on 08/23/2016 at 6:28:33 pm EDT

This ride is so much fun. I love how the cars swing independently. The animatronics on this ride is unbelievable. The imagineers really out did themselves. It is really cool to have the photopass and it shows you while your on parts of the ride. It makes for a fun souvenier. The only problem is this ride is really short.
DisneyKimber gave this a rating of 8 on 06/30/2016 at 11:37:10 pm EDT

The ride itself is very good, it is also very short.

Love it! A fun family ride!
Patty Jo gave this a rating of 9 on 06/28/2016 at 8:01:08 am EDT

My husband's rating because I don't like coasters (fear of drops): The line is too long and the ride is too short, but it's fun. Very smooth. Very good theming.
Pawleys4 gave this a rating of 7 on 06/27/2016 at 9:32:37 pm EDT

one of our fav rides!
Stacey0918 gave this a rating of 10 on 06/27/2016 at 8:04:58 am EDT

This is an entry level coaster with some cute dark ride elements. The neat thing about this if you have the photo pass is that you'll get a video of yourself riding this attraction! But...lines are long...so go early or use a fastness!
RandyF1979 gave this a rating of 8 on 06/26/2016 at 8:17:36 pm EDT

SHORT ride... LOVE IT! A very smooth roller coaster for all ages. We FP this for each day in MK.
Dopeyhornet gave this a rating of 10 on 06/26/2016 at 3:32:53 pm EDT

Great theming and a great addition to Fantasyland. While I don't have problems riding even the largest coasters the swinging cars made me motion sick, making this a once a trip ride.

Too short but such fun!

Great family ride!!
Shula8205 gave this a rating of 10 on 06/23/2016 at 11:20:21 pm EDT

New Favourite. First ride ever was at night and laughed throughout the whole ride. I would normally score this a 10 but the queue before you enter the Mine is long and it can get hot. Then Fan do help but they could use more.
wdwr gave this a rating of 9 on 06/23/2016 at 10:48:55 pm EDT

Wonderful ride! I wish it was a little longer.

Fun but very short.
Dopey Girl gave this a rating of 8 on 06/20/2016 at 6:00:28 pm EDT

I can take it or leave it. While the scenery is cute, I did get off feeling very underwhelmed as I was expecting it to be a roller coaster comparable to big thunder and it IS NOT (it moves very slow for a coaster)
2babiesandthemouse gave this a rating of 5 on 06/20/2016 at 10:57:46 am EDT

The cue is amazing! And the ride is even better! Such a smooth coaster. Love it!

Who doesn't LOVE Snow White and the Seven Dwarf? This ride is a great way to feel like you are right in the movie! It has adorable scenery, and I love the little video shared of your pics with Photopass!

One of my granddaughters favorite rides and therefore I love it.

This is super fun! The queue area is nice. My kids love it! The ride itself is so fun!! That's all we hear when we're at Disney.."Let's go on the Seven Dwarf Mine Train", over and over again.
msae02 gave this a rating of 10 on 06/17/2016 at 10:03:29 am EDT

Fine, but no better than Big Thunder Mountain and the waits are dreadful. The theming is nice.
KateLovesDisney gave this a rating of 8 on 06/16/2016 at 11:23:29 pm EDT

Fun coaster, too short of a ride for the line length.
ashlvsq2004 gave this a rating of 8 on 06/15/2016 at 11:20:02 am EDT

A bit too short but I loved it. I especially love the rocking type motion of the cars versus the traditional roller coasters.
aat912 gave this a rating of 9 on 06/15/2016 at 7:45:41 am EDT

Way too short. Not much to see. Fun ride but definitely not worth the wait.

Perfect coaster for those who are afraid of big drops and jerking around, very smooth ride. Theme is fantastic!!!

Great coaster for people who don't like to be banged around.. its a smooth ride!
EvaKi gave this a rating of 8 on 06/14/2016 at 11:03:39 am EDT

I will probably get boo-ed for not giving this one a 10, but the ride is so short! I found that if you sit in the very back rows you have more time to look at things.

I like it, and think the details are wonderful, but I also think it is a little over-rated.

POOH gave this a rating of 9 on 06/10/2016 at 3:55:52 pm EDT

Not a bad ride. Not super thrilling and not super scary. I sort of wish they had either gone more thrilling or more childish for it. I don't find it worth the crazy waits it has.

A new favorite for my entire family.
Sandy Mouse gave this a rating of 9 on 06/10/2016 at 1:26:02 pm EDT

PLEASE ONLY RIDE THIS WITH A FASTPASS. It is tooooooo short to wait in line for. If you cant get a Fastpass go to Runaway Train, it is longer and very similar (minus the theme)
dmsprung gave this a rating of 7 on 06/10/2016 at 12:19:55 pm EDT

Love this new 'mountain'! Great ride and I love the video that comes with the photo package.

Make friends in the queue to get all the barrels spinning and see Snow White dance on the ceiling!
I live with a 'Stitch'! gave this a rating of 9 on 06/05/2016 at 10:38:00 pm EDT

Too short of a ride to justify the stand-by line, but themed so very well.
Urbss gave this a rating of 9 on 06/05/2016 at 6:07:53 pm EDT

FP+ is a must. The ride is too short to wait in the stand-by line.
Geri604 gave this a rating of 8 on 06/04/2016 at 6:39:29 pm EDT

Queue wait too long for this attraction. Would never ride it w/o a fast pass. Fun little ride for a first coaster though!
thelivlloyds gave this a rating of 7 on 06/03/2016 at 8:19:36 pm EDT

Great ride, but is over way too fast.
AeroScott gave this a rating of 8 on 06/03/2016 at 4:02:38 pm EDT

Great ride. I wouldn't wait on the line, but with a FP it had great visual effects and smooth and mildly thrilling ride!
amouse9 gave this a rating of 10 on 06/03/2016 at 2:03:00 am EDT

Rode this for the fist time in April and I was hoping it would earn a 10 rating. While the animatronics were really impressive & ride was exceptionally smooth my fam felt the ride was over too soon. We were lucky to snag a FP but all agreed we might feel disappointed if we'd had to wait in 2hr+ line to ride.
TwinDaddy59 gave this a rating of 7 on 06/01/2016 at 10:02:37 am EDT

mickey mema gave this a rating of 7 on 05/29/2016 at 11:00:49 pm EDT

I hope someday the line gets shorter...but until then, make sure to get a FP+ to ride it after dark. Very smooth coaster.

Entertaining, but you don't get much of a chance to enjoy the artistic effects that went into the attraction

So much fun! Get a fastpass or go first thing in the AM. Also watch the video on photopass!

christiniap gave this a rating of 9 on 05/27/2016 at 8:33:20 am EDT

Surprisingly does not live up to its hype. It is okay - and far too short given the length of time you spend trying to get on. Like other raters, I think that it may round-up to 3 minutes, vice being a full 3 minutes!

geebo gave this a rating of 10 on 05/27/2016 at 12:29:51 am EDT

This seems like the smoothest train ride in Magic Kingdom. To me,it's worth about a 30 min. wait if no fast passes are available.

I think the posted duration of 3 minutes is generous. I would not wait more than 15 mins standby if I could not get a fastpass.
