Seems like it may be. I'd rather they create an area (placeholder) as they are doing at DCA where the mailboomer is or soon 'was'. Basically a nice park to sit and relax. At least until they get a budget for an actual attraction.
I think everyone would be better off if they waited until they had something that meshes with the FLE theme. IMO.

Current plans are for them to stay. Right now they are working on Phase I of Fantasyland (the bulk area). Toontown is Phase II. Might be a while before the phases after that.

The only thing not being touched is the tents and Goofy's coaster. Everything else is going. They will be gutting the bulk of it and installing plumbing for a couple of new water play features (not existing Donald's Boat area). Even the train station will be redone/expanded and restrooms added onto it. All of this is Phase II though so I don't know when work will begin.

What are they going to be using the current M&G tents for? I realize they don't want to lose County Bounty but if they are gutting SWSA for M&Gs, what would go in those other tents?
If they really* are keeping the (supposedly rotten) tents, I hope there is a way that they could re-paint them so they are so faded.

I thought I read that Goofy's Coaster will be a circus Goofy theme? The Great Goofini :lol::lookaroun

Are the exteriors of the buildings some sort of plastic or canvas? I ask because the ovehanging sections look rotten/moldy and I assume if they keep them those areas will be replaced. I still think the area is better off if Toontown north of dumbo is just cleared until they have a better plan and a budget to match.

Maybe it's cheaper to leave the tents and repaint them, than it would be to remove them?:shrug:
I'm not wild about it (still excited about FLE 2.0 overall) but, the tents were built with easy removal in mind maybe someday down the line they will replace the tents with some real attraction. Maybe.

Tents? TENTS? Did you just say the tents are now staying?? Aww, say it ain't so....
I thought they were rotten, mildewed, decayed and beyond salvage?

I was hoping they had moved beyond always going with the cheaper option. Removing the TL Skyway station is an example of something they did not have to do but in the long run it should be beneficial. I see the tents the same way. I thought they were un-Disney when they were installed and now they are even moreso. BatB, LM and the new Pooh queue are setting the bar high so I hope they keep that in mind as they reimagineer TTF.

Well, if it's for the Circus theme, I fail to see how having Tents is a bad thing :shrug:

Some people think tents (along with other circusy things) are tacky and unrefined. I see no problem with them as long as everything is spruced up.

With the steel frame work happening now for LM does anyone else think that/know if the attraction will be open before fall 2012?

I also wonder would it be possible to make a temp path using construction walls so that if the rest of phase 1 ins't done the ride could still operate.

Fall 2012? Definitely.
