If they could figure out how to replicate the experience of a forward-facing raft ride, that's something I'd be excited to ride. Another big circle soak-em raft ride? This is the type of generic attraction I'm least excited about -- not to mention the type of attraction that Disney hasn't been...

When it's all open? I can't wait to see it in 10 years when it's all filled in.

It looks like they're setting up to add a tree line to the mountainside. We're probably pretty close to seeing the full effect in place.

That's the one! I'm kind of disappointed it will be a DVC kiosk, but I think it's good that the Mermaid area won't be something that just exists on one side of the walkway. As for the Mine Coaster fitting in with the Mermaid area, it looks like they're using the same style of rolling hills...

I'm not sure how to upload an image here, but I put together a (very) rough plan of how they could keep the riverboat and most of Tom Sawyer Island intact while opening up a sizable parcel of land for expansion: http://tinyurl.com/83m4865 The blue section in the image would be a re-routed...

Someone posted a photo of the backside of the Mine Train from the D23 model, and it appears that there will be a small kiosk themed to the Little Mermaid nestled in the back of the mountain. I can't remember if it was merchandise or food, though.

Oh, I hope they have grey stuff on the menu. Also, pie and pudding en flambe!

It's the ghost of Cyril Proudbottom roaming around.

Isnt' there an outdoor pavilion just north of Town Hall that they used to do character meetings in? I distinctly remember taking a picture with Pluto there, oh, about 20 years ago.

I, too, was wondering how the show building would look, not just from behind on the Speedway, but also from above on Barnstormer.

It looks like there are three paths leading to the Enchanted Tales with Belle attraction. The one going into Maurice's Cottage is obviously the entrance. And the path leading from the attraction's northern edge seems like a natural fit for an exit, since the attraction is supposed to bring you...

Looking at the Storybook Circus from above, I'm confused about how they decided to lay out this portion of the park. All of the main attractions and focal points appear to be crowded right around the area's entrance, notably Dumbo and the biggest circus tent. There's just nothing to draw you...

I don't. I imagine that the Mine Train footprint will also take up quite a bit of the area currently between the big hole in the ground and Pooh.

Has there been concept art released of the inside of the circus tents? I don't recall having seen any.

The activities in the Dumbo queue are one of the big question marks remaining about the FLE. I'm very excited to see what's inside, but I also hope the queue has plenty of benches.

Good call. I think the opportunity here is ripe for some cookies iced with "Eat Me" and cups labeled "Drink Me," at the very least.

I'm no fan of the Speedway. Never have been. Never will be. And while I get that kids still like to drive their own miniature cars, I think that's something that can be better integrated into EPCOT as a second Test Track attraction or the Studios in Pixar Place with a Cars theme. Not just...

I noticed that, too. I hope they're still there. On a different log, of course.

Good point. Maybe this is on the northwestern edge of the mine train where those water features meet up.

I thought I'd seen it before. It's interesting that the water feature on "Dwarf Mountain" is so prominent in this art. I don't remember that in the model, but I hope it stays. It would be especially appropriate on the side of the attraction facing the Little Mermaid.
