As many of you already know, I included Storybook Land in Fantasyland in my Magic Kingdom park. With this includes the Storybook Land Canal Boats and Casey J. Circus Train, which take guests on a tour of Storybook Land, as in Disneyland's. In comparison to Disneyland's Casey Jr. ride, I added rooftop covers to the train cars much like the rooftop covers on Disneyland and WDW's Railroad trains, unlike Disneyland's open-air train cars. Also, these train cars and especially the animal-cage cars will be larger and MUCH less confining, to allow more comfortable riding for adults, especially large adults!
Last but not least, I decide to modify the ride's opening a bit. If anyone has ever seen Dumbo (1941) before, when Casey Jr. exclaims "All Aboard! Let's Go!", that's not the actual "All Aboard" call for the train, but Casey's response to it! Disneyland's Casey Jr. Circus Train, however, uses Casey's response alone in the beginning. I decided to make mine more true to the animated movie, by adding the actual "All Aboard" call before Casey Jr. answers it! For the actual "All Aboard" call, I will use the recording of voice actor Thurl Ravenscroft (voice of Tony the Tiger, among other things!) used on Disneyland's Railroad, which is followed of course by Casey Jr. tooting "All Aboard! Let's Go", and then the train takes off!
WDW's Railroad uses a live "All Aboard" call from the train conductor. I was going to use the same for the railroad in my MK park, thus giving mine the best of both worlds; using a live call for the railroad's train and the recording for Casey Jr. Circus Train!
If anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post!
