    Original Barnstormer vs Goofini

    So you could pick a different theme. Or you could enclose the whole thing. Just saying. The absence of exposed track coasters used to be a huge differentiating factor separating Disney from its amusement park brethren. I have been disappointed to see them proliferate, which is why I think...

    Original Barnstormer vs Goofini

    But that doesn't really make either of them a good thing.

    Original Barnstormer vs Goofini

    I'm not crazy about either Barnstormer, really. I don't think exposed track coasters have a place in Disney parks. Barnstormer, Goofy's Sky School, Primeval Whirl, Flounder's FLying Fish...there's nothing special about these, really. Casey Jr. at DL and DLP, and the upcoming Seven Dwarfs...

    Photos - Storybook Circus soft opening

    Maybe not, but even WWoHP has a barely re-themed exposed track kiddie coaster. Not to mention the barely re-themed exposed track adult coaster.

    Work being done behind Beauty and the Beast at DHS

    Eh, much as I love Tangled and want it to find its place in the parks, the music is really quite average. I'd much rather see a return of the Hunchback stage show, which I recall was fairly popular despite the movie's lackluster performance. Even Princess and the Frog has a stronger set of songs.

    Photos - Storybook Circus soft opening

    I doubt that the two spinners will be different, but I have a strong suspicion that we'll be seeing Timothy Mouse inside Dumbo's Circus Tent. But count me among those disappointed with how visible the tent's show building is from the coaster. Especially since it looks like they're not even...

    Photos - Storybook Circus soft opening

    I, for one, can't wait to find out what Humphrey is doing on that poster. I was hoping for at least a reference to Bongo, but if they can make it work within the Circus theme, Humphrey is way better!

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    I haven't been on the Little Mermaid ride yet, but having watched the videos on YouTube, I noticed that very little seems to have been done to give the suggestion of floating during the undersea sequences. Ariel's hair in the Grotto scene is a tremendous effect, especially paired with the...

    Be our guest restaurant opening

    The original plan was counter service during the day and table service at night. I'm not sure exactly how that would work, but if the place is done up right, I would bet that they could get reservations all day long here and leave the counter service to Pinocchio's and Gaston's.

    VIDEO - First look inside the Be Our Guest Restaurant in the new Fantasyland

    So, the new Lumiere AA will be featured in both the Be Our Guest restaurant and the Enchanted Tales with Belle attraction? I recall hearing they were also building a Wardrobe AA for the latter. Anyone know if that is still the case?

    VIDEO - First look inside the Be Our Guest Restaurant in the new Fantasyland

    It looks like it's coming together quite nicely. My only question would be about the ceiling. In the final shots of the video, it looks like it's flat. I wonder if they're still planning on adding that beautiful domed ceiling and chandelier.

    MK Seven Dwarves Mine Ride Construction

    That's subjective. I can simultaneously have realistic expectations of the ride experience and also define the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train as a tamer version of BTMRR, since it 1) is tamer than BTMRR and 2) is a roller coaster through a fully realized mountainous (or at least hilly) landscape. Gut...

    New FL Restrooms / Walkway

    No, they're building (or rather clearing) around it. The Yankee Trader and the overpass to Columbia Harbour House will be remaining.

    New Movie for Norway?

    I hope by "more in-and-on-the-time place," they don't mean more oil rigs.

    New Fantasyland Expansion photos 2-9-12

    If the latest models are to be believed, it will be a much smaller tent than the other two: http://lebeauleblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/model-circusland.jpg But I thought Pete's Silly Sideshow was going to be a Meet and Greet in one of the larger tents. If that's not the case and it is...

    Back of Dumbo Building

    Forget about the Speedway. How are they going to hide the Dumbo queue show building from riders on the Barnstormer?

    MK Seven Dwarves Mine Ride Construction

    The art I've seen seems the queue will be indoors, with two different mine shafts, one for Fastpass and one for standby. Sure, some of that may spill over to an outdoor areas, but I think the same is the case for the Little Mermaid ride.

    No More Great Goofini?

    It looks like the Tiki Room and Shooting Arcade are also missing.

    Tom Sawyer's Island replacement / Expansion

    I don't know that's true. People might have said the same thing about flume rides pre-Splash Mountain or freefall rides pre-Tower of Terror. There's no reason that kind of ride vehicle or system requires the dumping of huge sums of water on its guests. And even if it did, I would have...
