Thank you

I know I have a loooong journey ahead of me!

Welcome !!!!!! GOOOO MEGAN

The Little Mermaid attraction is coming along.

 

[marypops!]

Interesting. I do hope that's just the space for the queue shown

No, that's the whole thing... But the building itself is pretty big so who knows who they'll space management.

It's just your average dark ride length (a little longer, maybe?).

 

[marypops!]

Well... There's got to be more space on the left that isn't shown... I hope. It looks rather small.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

It's bigger than you think

And a Cars Land pic:

 

[marypops!]

Still looks small to me... What do I know though?

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Well the FL rides are hardly much bigger.

Cars Land looks small to me, but that doesn't include Radiator Springs Racers

 

[Ppufi]

Looking cool. I can't wait till all of this is completed; it'll be the perfect excuse for a trip that will also possibly coincide with my graduation from HS.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I just can't wait until work on Buena Vista Street begins... hard to believe Phase I doesn't end until 2012!

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

So I *think* Star Tour's is going down for 2.0 this October.

You know, I actually looked at that article but I didn't read it xD


So it looks like August for Disneyland, at the least.

Exciting stuff about them potentially using the Festival Arena for something useful.

Word on the [Main] street is that the Tomorrowland makeover will be Tony Baxter's "big bang" before he retires... I'll miss him... he's a great, great imagineer (who has had to sacrifice some ideas in the past).

 

[marypops!]

Makeover for Disneyland, or Magic Kingdom?

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Disneyland.
It's in desperate need, the Magic Kingdom is less dire (actually its my favorite TL visually [Discoveryland not included])

Hellfire scene possibly?

Yeah the Mickey Wheel/Sun Wheel has always had the swinging Gondolas.. hence the nickname Mickey's Fun Wheel of Death.

They're pretty freaky, so I've heard. (there's barf bags in the cabins)

I've been lurking on this thread for a while. I love reading about all the plans Disney has coming in the near future!
Anyways I've been on the 'death wheel" in DCA and it IS pretty scary.
You have a choice or swinging or not swinging gondolas. We chose a swinging one. And every time the wheel turn it goes back and forth on a set of tracks and when it hits the end of the track it swings out. My brother hated it (he's scared of heights) and you really did feel like the car was going to detach and fall right into the water! It's a really unique ride, but I understand why people are afraid of it.

Keep up the good work everyone

I commented on this before actually
The fire is the fire from Hellfire so it is interesting to note.

Some of the best Disney music, by far.

Thank you for your input! I'm glad you're enjoying our thread

I was in DCA in August but I didn't really ride anything (saw Aladdin), but I have watched youtube videos of people screaming/crying/generally freaking out on the Wheel.
