Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

[Thor]

Please tell me someone didn't get paid to make that

In Disney? They not only got paid, but also a promotion!

It'll look great in a new commercial highlighting all 2 things you can do at new fantasyland. That guy deserved his promotion. BTW going to MK tomorrow, I'll tell you all if something goes down. Apparently today they actually started testing the rides with humans instead of gems as seen in the ride through above!!! Wow wee

I was at MK on Saturday and saw this thing in person. While the pictures look nice, in person, it looks amazing. People can complain all they want, this is a great addition to Fantasyland.

A little off topic, but regarding the Speedway, I say KEEP IT! Yes it's loud and smelly, but it's a great family attraction. While the parents, myself included, may not enjoy it, every kid I see driving is having a blast. This is one of my daughter's(6 y.o.) favorite rides. And for the people comparing it to your average go-cart track, you're wrong. I know of ZERO go-cart tracks that allow 2-10 year olds to drive on their track, and for obvious reasons. But with Tomorrowland Speedway being on a track and in a controlled environment, it allows young kids the sensation of actually driving a real race car; something you're average go-cart track could never provide.

I guess growing up in PA every local park seemed to have one of these things. So while yes, you can't go to a go kart place and do this, I could go to my local amusement park and do this. Now some local parks have removed them because they take up a lot of space and they could be used for better things, but I know Kennywood has said they would bring it back and last time I was ay Hershey they still had it. Maybe this was more regional?

The Speedway should go, it has too big of a footprint, stinks, and is too outdated. It speaks to nothing about what Tomorrowland is anymore. I could see it fitting in with Funspot but not a park at this level even with nostalgia points added in.

At MK right now, the mine train looks pretty damn nice, kraken got it down when he said its way bigger than it looks on pictures. Still scaffolding and some parts of the track are covered but overall looks finished. Funny story, I just saw a grown man cry because it wasn't open yet. He was on the ground wailing "MY VACATION WAS ONLY FOR THIS?!??" It was sad but I was laughing my ass off on the side. Also just went on speedway and yeah it ain't so hot. Peter Pan also needs that interactive queue ASAP, the line in murder

You're JOKING..

 

[Cole]

You're JOKING..

I swear I'm not. He should've checked the "Orlando United forums TRADEMARK for the latest news and rumors in theme parks"

 

[rhino4evr]

I would wager that he was probably a member of another message board that was hyping an early April soft opening that never happened.

[UNIrd]

Those look AWESOME. See? AA's! They can still be done!

Yes! At least we wont have to wear 3D glasses and be looking at screens! The ride may be short but its turning out great.

 

[IzzyB]

I have to admit I have always been excited about this because it is another coaster my daughter can go on. But wow, those AA's look really good. Maybe it will be a decent ride for me too!

 

[l-m-f-a-o]

omg, those are amazing.

 

[Teebin]

Is every face of each AA internally projected like these?
