Inspired by “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” roller coaster sends riders on a musical adventure into the mine.

“The attraction appeals to everyone in the family and provides just the right blend of heart, humor, and thrill while keeping with the charm of this special land, ” Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs said in a press release.

The attraction has a new ride system that allows cars to pivot back and forth. According to the Disney, "Riders pass through magical mountain scenery studded with red poppies and live oak, cedar and birch trees. At the midpoint of the attraction, guests enter a mine aglow with gems and scenes of the Dwarfs and frolicking forest creatures. Music from the film classic accompanies the journey. At ride’s end, the cottage of the Dwarf . . . comes into view with a dancing Snow White visible through a window."
