Thanks, the view from the new Dumbo location will not be as good for these updates. However, the view of the mine train area should be better.

maybe out the window of Cinderella's Royal Table for a perspective similar to this?

Looking good

Any word if the goofy coaster is going to open with dumbo?

I am booking my trip for early May later today. I can't wait to see all of these changes in person. It has been nearly a year and a half since my last trip to Disney do to my wife's pregnancy. Far far to long.

Thanks for the great photos!

Just keeps getting better. And the new tents seem to be of the quality they should have been from day 1.

Kinda sad that these could be the last from the original dumbo location Everything is looking great though! Ans I can not wait to see it all in person in a few months!

That's a possibility, but can you really get to that window without having a seat?

I would think so, since the coaster was a working ride and isn't changing mechanically. Really all they are doing to it is cosmetic theme updates.

Am I the only one bothered by the color of Erics Castle? In the artwork its more white and stands out much more prominently. The current color blends in too much with the rock work.

That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is I don't really see where the waterfalls are going to go that are on the concept art.

I know what you mean -- b/c water is supposed to be very prominent. Chris Beatty said that water would come from Beast's Castle down under the bridge to Mine Train, then LM would have it's own different feel. The forest-y feel and water are key components.

Well, they aren't done with it yet so maybe it will still be painted... If not, I am not bothered by it...

They are still painting a good portion of it so maybe they still have more detail to cover? It doesn't bother me too much, but I agree that the other color scheme seems better.

One thing to note was that the photos were taken late in the afternoon with a very low orange sun. It does make the scene slightly more orange than normal.

But in the movie isn't it a white stucco

I doubt Eric's castle has its final paintjob, I think there will be more detail work at the least which would help it stand out from the rock work. Everything looks great. Super excited

I thought it was stucco too...
Hm, well I can't say it looks bad with bricks.

So I wonder what the buzzards were circling for?:shrug:

White would not come out as well in amature photos. It would get bleed out in bright sunlight and it woiuld be hard to have a lot of detail. White would look better if you were looking down at it so there was a darker backdrop
