Just a Dream Away- The Imagineering Thread*Are you curious, imaginative, dedicated?

[marypops!]

It shall be fun I hope instead of opening it all in 2012 (other then Pixie Hollow in 2013) they release each section as they finish.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Darn, now I have to start saving for a 2012 trip and a 2013 trip xD

I hope they do release it all at once, it'll give it a little more exclusivity.

Besides, you'd be able to see the constructions for the other sections.

 

[marypops!]

That makes sense, but i'm impatient on these things. I want them to start now, gosh darn it!

 

[I Am What I Am]

I'm so glad they're doing this. FL needed a refurb.

It's waaay too crowded in there right now.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

And tacky. Don't forget tacky.

 

[I Am What I Am]

And tacky. Don't forget tacky.

There was no theming. It was just buildings with a little decoration in the lines, which in fact, would run into each other so there's no way around them because everything is squished together.

Looks like the Ariel ride uses Clammobiles. Now I want to do the CP when the the new fantasyland is completed.

 

[marypops!]

I wish they added another Alice ride in the schematics. It's gonna be weird having a random Alice ride placed there, unless they theme it around Dumbo or something.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I, too wish they'd add another Alice ride.

While I'm not 100% for cloning attractions and plopping them in a park, the Alice ride at Disneyland is marvelous... or of course, Alice's Curious Labrynth

Then we'd have 3 castles!
Wooooot!

 

[marypops!]

I thought Ariel had a distant castle as well?

I like to read people's negative comments on this renovation. They can't get rid of Toontown. It's too much for girls. Not enough for boys to do. Etc.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

My favorite and most valid is: Snow White totally gets shafted xD

Sure she has a ride, but I mean, you could do a lot with the dwarves mine/cottage.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Ariel's is more like a tower of Eric's castle, but not the whole thing, from what I can tell..

So.. Cindy Belle Ariel = 2 1/2 castles... and now all we need is the Queen of Hearts castle and we're all set

 

[marypops!]

Castles are fun!

I saw an interesting setback mentioned. How are they gonna theme the train station? Originally, it was going to be a circus theme for Dumbo, but now the Dumbo and Pixie Hollow areas have swapped, making it a bit more awkward with size issues. I guess they can make it like your train shrinks as it enters the station, but I like the circus theme more.

Also, is the train going to be closed while they work on Toontown? I hope not!

They might just have the train bypass the ToonTown stop.

 

[marypops!]

I can see them closing it for maybe a month or 2 at the most so they can theme the train station, but not for an extensive period.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

That's what I think'll happen too.

And they'll probably put up a ton of Construction walls.

Which reminds me- pretty soon there will be no more CALIFORNIA letters outside of DCA.

 

[marypops!]

No more getting pictures sitting inside the 'O'? Shame

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

From Miceage's Dateline Disneyland:

These walls are just outside of the letters.

If you guys have the Little Mermaid DVD, they have a special feature with an Ariel ride. The way they described, the planned ride sounds pretty similar to the one on the DVD. They put that on the DVD because it was a scrapped idea.

The one ride I wish they would bring is the Storybook Land Canal Boats. As silly as it sounds, I love that ride.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Did I ever tell you guys that while waiting for the MSEP (er... DEP) in DCA, my dad and I counted 8 instances of the word "California"

Worst themed park = constant reminders you're in a park themed to CA.

But my favorite line:

"Here you leave the world of California today, and enter the world of... California today"
