Scuttle · Dec 20, 2011

Here are a few shots of the FLE from the flight I took today. There will be a much better update coming soon, but here is a sample. Click the pop up picture for a higher resolution.

P.S. Sorry it was a bit bumpy and hard to get good pictures today. Either way enjoy.

The mine train is coming along fast!

Wow thanks for the pictures. There's nothing like some good aerials to really see whats goin on.

How on earth are they going to fit a proper mine train coaster in that small hole?

Wow they added walls in front of the BOG entrance. I was not expecting that.

Thanks for the pics Scuttle.

I keep thinking about Circusland opening in 8 weeks and cannot imagine it will be ready.

They're not. They're gonna fit it in the HUGE hole. :animwink:

Great pictures! It looks like they are working on some rock work or something just beyond the wall by Mad Tea Party. Looks like it may be part of the Mine Train. Hard to believe they will have all the concrete in Storybook Circus complete by Feb.

This has come up before. It's funny how some people feel the hole looks small and others think it looks huge. You can see from the aerial views that Barnstormer would fit in the spot with room to spare so I would say it's the right size for what we are getting.

From what we have heard, only the train station, Goffini and 1/2 of Dumbo will be open in February. The area with the tents will probably still be walled off at that point. With that said, they still have a lot to get done by then.

This is the first I have noticed any work done on the retheming of the Barnstormer - looks like the queue building has some paint and the land is cleared below (unless I just never noticed that before). It's insanely exciting to see the whole framework of the expansion laid out - with new details emerging every day. Thanks for keeping us informed!!

MKCP 1985 · Dec 21, 2011

at one time it was speculated that Dumbo would fly over water. Seeing the construction and the progress, does anyone still believe that will be the case?

either way, it is certainly coming along and there will be a lot to explore when this area opens up. looking forward to a big trip in 2014!

Thanks for the update Scuttle

Just wondering what they will do with space where the original Dumbo is now? A fountain or planter maybe?

Part of the new castle wall will pass through that area.

Yes, there is still much work to be finished. It's hard to tell how the inside work is progressing. I really want to see what the train station looks like inside.

WDWFREAK53 · Dec 21, 2011

I can't wait for the time when people start complaining about how long it's taking. It looks like it's moving along right now (and it is) but once the exterior gets "done" it'll still be a while before the stuff opens while they work on the inside.

Remember when Mission:Space's building was basically complete and it still had a while to go prior to opening.

Looks amazing though!

ooh the little walls surrounding the entrance to the castle are up like in the below art
