Baby Groot's House of Fun! (Formerly - Haunted Mansion needs to go)

[mickEblu]

Embarrassed to ask but where is this and what's being assumed that they're doing?

It’s ok. It’s not the best picture. The pond between Adventureland and Frontierland is walled off.

He’s keeping the ghosts

He's evicting the ghosts. Baby Groot's House of Fun will not be haunted by spirits, but by all the lovable Marvel characters

Thanks! I had a hunch. I refuse to believe they're getting rid of it but secretly I don't find it all that unbelievable

I don’t think they re getting rid of it entirley but the fact that it’s behind walls is cause for concern.

What's more confusing- why would they bastardize the Frontierland entrance before fixing the horrific Tomorrowland entrance?

Makes no sense.

can you post a pic of what the pond looks like normally? I am having a hard time visualizing the area you are talking about and the walls in that pic do not help clarifiy it.

oooh ok. thank you. man they better not get rid of it. I loved this little area while walking into frontierland. touches like this is what makes the park sooo beautiful. to take it out for a bigger walkway would be a real shame and loss to the art of the park and charm of Disneyalnd. spots like these are what give Disneyland the timeless feel it has. I am already upset they removed the planters in front of Haunted Mansion for what amounts to not that much difference in space in the long run.

Thanks

I don’t believed theyre taking it out, but probably making it smaller in some way.

I hope not. Disneyland never feels like a theme park to me. DCA does, Magic Mountain does, Knott's Berry Farm does. but not Disneyland. Every time I enter the gates I fully feel like I walked into another world cut off from the problems and drama of real life. No planes fly overhead. As soon as I hit main street I am full immersed in the park. to me it is unique in the theme park industry because it made the theme park industry what it is today. Disneyland feels like a living and breathing living entity that is cut off from the rest of the world. almost as if it is in a time warp. sure it has some asthetic changes over the years but it never feels like I am at a theme park and that is in part due to little spaces like that pond by Frontierland and other things that add to the charm. Every time I enter it is like seeing a old friend and it is like we have never been apart even though it may have been years between visits. Walt's presence is felt throughout. you see in NEW ORLEANS SQUARE the art design and care that went into it. it is a work of pure art and needs to be preserved. that's all I have to say about that.

It would definitely be a shame if they removed or made the pond smaller. It acted as a thematic "bridge" from the Hub/Main Street Park to the individual lands. Water, in some way, ties together and impacts every single land in an organic, dynamic, and kinetic way. (Rivers of America, Jungle Cruise, Nemo Lagoon, NOS Fountains, Castle Moat, etc...)

 

[SuddenStorm]

I'm guessing it's just a widening of the bridge, without changing the amount of actual pond.

It makes perfect sense. They need Frontierland's entrance widened because people will be going that way to SWL. No one is going to SWL via Tomorrowland until they are from Portland.

I wonder if they really done with the NOS changes. I was under the impression they were going to remove all the elevated Fantasmic viewing areas and planters between POTC and Mansion. Hope they re done.

 

[mickEblu]

Being that they re doing all this path widening, it’s really odd to me that they made such a small pinch point when they re- constructed the Big Thunder Trail last year. That path that runs along with those alien-ish looking wave rocks gets pretty narrow.

From MiceChat Update:

"But it’s the construction scrims erected to obscure the lagoons on either side of the Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasy Faire Village all the way to the western portal of the castle which are the big news this week. The lagoons are being drained and work will soon be underway to expand walkways and shrink waterways and gardens. This is just one of many projects you’ll see in today’s update which are a direct result of expected crowds next year. Gardens, obstructions and seating are being removed throughout the park to make room for more guests when Star Wars land opens. "

So this is how Disneyland dies, with thunderous applause.

"Expect to see more shady areas with benches also to disappear. The path on the west side of Sleeping Beauty Castle (from Fantasyland to the Princess Fantasy Faire) on the moat side has been covered by a green screen. I suspect those big old trees will be ripped out, and the path widened. On the east side, just past Snow White’s Wishing Well, an old big tree was cut down and replaced with newer, smaller trees.
