4/3 – UPDATE! Get the latest info on the new features and the dark ride attractions straight from the source!

Lights on for Dark Rides!

After months of hard work I'm very proud to announce/launch the very first VMK Dark Rides! The team spent lots of time creating all the items to make these rides faithful virtual recreations of their park counterparts. Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as we do! But before I hop back on Peter Pan's Flight I have a few notes that will help make the game experience even better!

Pulling the Sword from a Stone!

By far the most asked question about the new Fantasyland update is, 'How do I get a Sword in the Stone Single Use Magic Pin?' This question is also usually followed by does the sword comes out of the stone? The easy answer is you MIGHT win a Pin by riding either Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan's Flight. And yes, every time you ride one of the attractions there's a chance you'll win a the Sword in the Stone Single Use Magic Pin

Notice I said you might win – not every ride will get you a pin – so ride often and keep your fingers crossed! Now what should you do if you're lucky enough to win a pin?

The sword may be stuck – but if you pull it, you're in luck!

Well, just head on over to the sword in the Fantasyland Courtyard (make sure you're wearing the Sword in the Stone Pin) and then activate the pin. Your character will then walk up to the sword automatically and give it a tug. If the sword comes out of the stone you win something cool! But keep riding for a chance to win because the prizes will be changing!

Hair today! And tomorrow!

Seen your friends with a new do? Well, that's cause we added 2 new hairstyles – one for boys and one for girls.

Isn't it about time to change your style?

Dark Ride Parts & Pieces

So you like the new additions and want to know when you can get your hands on it for your own ride or room, which prompts the question, when's the stuff coming out? How about if you had a chance to win some stuff before it goes on sale?

If you check the Community Calendar you'll see a Ride-A-Thon scheduled for this month!

The Fantasyland Ride-A-Thon will run April 27, 28 and 29th. After the Ride-A-Thon you'll see more items as well as track pieces available in the shops – but please remember, as I've said before, not all of the pieces will be released – but you will see quite a few releases as well as our new Dark Ride Guest Room! Sweet!

Fantasyland Quests

In addition to launching the new Fantasyland dark rides, we also launched the first of 4 in-game Fantasyland Quests. The questions are a mix from the animated feature films as well as the dark ride attractions. This week's Quest is from Peter Pan, so grab that DVD (check out that new 2-disc set if you haven't already, it's awesome) and get your Pan On! Want a heads up for next week? Do the words 'Dinah the Cat' mean anything to you?

Cool Stuff? We Got Lots!

Along with the dark rides there are several new functionality changes now in the game – including, a new room information window, an enhanced trade window – which offer greater details when you click on an item in any menu or the trade window. To find out exactly how these new features work (as well as many others) be sure to check the FAQs section on the site.

Well there you go! We hope you enjoy the enhancements and new rides – they're a labor of love for the VMK Team so we really hope you enjoy them. If you like them and want more let us know – and just so you know, I'm a huge Mr. Toad's Wild Ride fan and would love an excuse to ride it a bunch more! Later!

See you in VMK!

We have to wait all month before we're able to buy new stuff? Aww! I want it now!

By that time, we won't have any credits left from trying to get that pin from the sword in the stone.


Don't get me wrong. I love all the new stuff!

But keep riding for a chance to win because the prizes will be changing!

Hopefully the prizes won't change too frequently since it is so nearly impossible to get the first on to start with

I am really looking forward to this month. It's really the first month I've been excited about. I hope we can purchase a lot of the Alice in Wonderland items!

I'd love, love, LOVE a Winnie the Pooh ride. I can see the little honey pot ride vehicles now! It's a Small World would be so neat, too. In other words, YES, I want more dark rides, Yavn!

I am kind of glad nothing new is for sale right now. My credits are depleted because I have been riding the rides too much...this way at least I will have a chance to earn some more credits.
