Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

[J03Y]

am i the only person not that excited about this queue? It looks exactly what I expected it to look, and kind of boring. I don't see any interactive features or video projections. It's not FJ that's for sure.

point taken, but then again look at the queue for the one DCA.

and i heard there's supposed to be a NextGen queue somewhere in there, they're just not releasing the pictures and video for the whole thing yet

Yeah this is leaps ahead of the DCA version It's literally like comparing the Spidey queue to the Stormforce queue.

It will be great when people stop pretending this is a response to Potter. Was anyone on the planet expecting a FJ queue for The Little Mermaid? One is a 1.5 hour film. The other is 7 books and 8 films worth of material to pull from. I appreciate the Mermaid queue for what it is. For that matter, I appreciate MOST of WDW's queues. This one looks great, fits the themeing, and has A/C. I'm plenty content here.

Not to mention it's comparing a ride that was meant to spread crowds compared to a ride that would carry a park for years to come.
Also everything looks great from the update. They are really getting to work on the coaster. Thanks Briman.

Wasn't that released over a year ago with all of the other concept art?

I don't remember seeing this one with the other concept art pieces but I also don't religiously check up on these things so I'm not sure.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is a new piece of art.

 

[BJCool]

Ha, I was right! This isn't completely new.

This is video of Walt Disney World What's Next 2012 announcement from this past April, where at the 5:50 mark the interior concept art of the Princess Fairy Tale Hall is right next to the exterior concept art. So, this is only a HQ release of the concept art.

They never "officially" released it though, which is why it is just coming about now. Media folk are the only people who really would remember seeing it.

Just a couple pics I got yesterday. Not much new.

that circus entrance is definitely a downgrade from the original concept art. big surprise.

I wish they had at least gone with a solid background behind "Storybook Circus". As it is, it is really hard to read.

 

[captainjack]

Hahahaha that circus entrance should be put on the front door at my job on Tuesday mornings around 2am when all the drunk CPs come rolling in

We must have walked right by each other :wave: We were there also for a little while in the afternoon.

The entrance is fitting for the type of place one seem to be entering. The posters and typography are on point, and the artistic flairs here and there are enchanting. The thing that the entrance is missing is solidity. Even though you are entering a circus, you're entering one in Disney, which means that the normal rules for replication of themed areas have to be bent, and these four-post structures are not cutting it. What's going on, WDI?

Thanks for the update though, BriMan. I do like how the sight lines in #4 lead to this new structure, and even though it's only going to hold bathrooms, at least they'll be well-themed bathrooms.
