Back of Dumbo Building

[Jakester]

So, if you've seen the new dumbo, you'll notice some non-magical air vent structures sticking out the back toward the speedway, will these eventually be covered?
Sorry, Don't have a picture to show what im talking about.

theyll probably just cover it up with some trees i doubt theyll completely theme it

Been wondering the same thing. I realy think the placement of Dumbo was a bad idea. I wish they would have torn one of the tents down and put it over there instead. There's just no way they can cover up the entire backside of Dumbo.

Really the only way to block the view would be to construct a wall between TIS and the Dumbo ride. There really isn't room for trees or anything else. I can see them putting a wall up and painting a "stadium seating" picture on the TIS side. Like a crowd at the races watching. It would still suck but it would be better than seeing the "Backside of Dumbo".

Ya know, i really see what you're all saying... :brick:

Actually, I can see them hiding the lower building with some tall shrubs or bushes, but then theres an upper level where those ducts are and nothing comes to mind to block those things...

 

[G00fyDad]

Maybe they will add taller walls onto the top of the building all the way around the back to make it seem as if it were a much taller structure and that would hide the AC vents. They wouldn't really need to paint a mural then.

Maybe some retro billboards would look pretty cool if they could make them big enough?

I'm sure they will paint it go-away green.

None of this will be an issue once they tear out the Speedway and open the new immersive WONDERLAND themed area. (yea ,yea wishful thinking!)

In a way the air vents are themed for Tomorrowland anyway.

What is going to be in the tents anyway?

That's funny. According to that, there is an entire forest between Dumbo and the Speedway. As others have said, maybe this is some indication that its days are numbered. Probably not, but wishful thinking at the very least.

One will remain a store and one will have some sort of character interaction last I heard around here.

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

I was thinking the show building for the new Tron attraction but what do I know? :shrug:

Why would they hide the new Dumbo attraction from the Goofy ride?

Not the ride itself, but the big green showbuilding.

From the model, it looks like trees are planned to do the trick. I think it will work. I think the speedway is at a lower grade, so trees/bushes will block the back. A bit more tricky from Barnstormer, but I think totally workable.

Ahh, my mistake. But when you have any attraction or structure with a high enough level you are going to lose some of the magic. They cannot cover the tops of the buildings too much. All they can really do is try to preserve the magic at ground level. I've never been into the Contemporary higher than the 4th or 5th floors. Can you see the backs of the MK buildings from the top of the tower?

Count me amongst those that think replacing the Speedway is a better option. I think my ideal scenario would be an updated Speeway attraction that is integrated into another attraction (i.e. where the track weaves in and out of another structure).
