Official Fantasyland Expansion Q & A (Mickey gets evicted) PART II

[ronnmel]

It didn't move at Dumbo - it moved behind Mad Tea Party. You can no longer pass behind the tea cups.

Oh, ok. I couldn't see that part well because of all the trees.

It's not very obvious in the picture, I just noticed it when I was there Saturday and noticed the whole backside of Mad Party was blocked off and they altered how you enter the queue.

New aerial photo - you can really see how the wall moved.

Can anyone tell me where they are planning to build the mine roller coaster based on this picture? There doesn't seem to be all that much room!

I should be located approximate right behind where the wall is now, between Pooh and the new Belle/Ariel areas.

The scale is kind of difficult to gather due to the angle and distance, but it looks like there will be plenty of room for the attraction. (using some basic guesstimation by using one of the parked vans as a way to try and get some size estimates.)

 

[Berlioz70]

I agree - there's a lot more space there then it looks like. They can probably get the track and frame up, they may need to move the wall again for final touches and theming for the queue entrance?

And one more thing. Look at the Beast's castle. Now compare it to Cindy'ss Castle. Forced perspective is right there. It looks like a scale model. This angle kinda ruins the ilussion. Its awesome, though, that from the ground they make you think is a full scale castle.

Thanks for sharing.

Also another way to look at it would be to look at pictures of Barnstormer and Big Thunder Mountain from above, and see how much space those take compared to how much space there is behind the wall. The new Snow White coaster is suppose to be somewhere between the two.


The new area for the fairies is very well themed!

Here are closer images of the wall behind Mad Tea Party

Here is the wall from the other side, which is now the Pooh meet and greet.

 

[ronnmel]

Thanks! It's fun to see pictures from a different perspective.

ok

i didnt know about new fantasyland until i was there last week. and, while i have gone through some of these pages i did notgo through all 60+ so forgive me if this has been answered 100 times.

From the pictures, it looks like new fantsayland will cut off old fantasyland with a permanent castle grounds wall. is that correct. and if so, why would old fantasyland, peter pan, iasm, pooh, snow white be left to be outside

 

[chicagoshannon]

yes it will cut it off. I think it's supposed to distinguish the Cinderella area and the other princess area. There will be the Cinderella area and then the Fantasyland Forest where Belle and Ariel's attractions will be.

I don't really get why they need to do that but what can ya do.

So right now - can you still walk from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland?
