Fantasyland Expansion Rumor

Rumor from screamscape so take it for what it's worth.

(8/3/08) Going back to a report from Blue Sky Disney from mid July, they add on to the story of the new Little Mermaid ride with details about the Blue Sky plans to revamp quite a bit in Fantasyland over the next 5 years. Other possible projects in development looking for funding include a new coaster highly themed to the Seven Dwarfs (which I can only hope would be themed to a mine ride) and the addition of a Pixie Hallow area to tie into the new Disney Fairies characters along with previously mentioned Tinkerbell Meet & Greet. Of course if the Little Mermaid ride is a big hit, it also seems likely that a new dark ride themed to Beauty & The Beast may be approved as well. As pointed out in the blog, redevelopment on a scale this size would go a long way to improve the status of Florida’s version of Fantasyland, finally giving it a good number of unique attractions to call their own.

sounds awesome, i really hope this happens, magic kingdom really needs a new roller coaster and something added ontop of the old 20k site, i really hope everything goes as planned, and the mine car thing sounds like a really cool roller coaster idea

I won't comment on the blog's attraction roster, but Fantasyland expansion is a fact.*

*For now...things are always subject to change until they've received the greenlight.

That's already over in DL...but I wouldn't mind a clone,would you?

<<Throws self into conversation>>

I sure wouldn't mind a clone of Pinocchio. I don't think it has ever been a huge hit in DL though. Of course it's only a C-Ticket but still.

(I know I'm a newbie so I have no credibility what-so-ever.:wave:)

I would love the Pinocchio ride here too even though its already been done, but even nicer would be the Beauty and the Beast ride, something new and unique just to our Magic Kingdom for a change. However I bet if they design it for here they are going to save money and replicate it for DCA or somewhere else. Fantasyland def needs some plussing in the way it looks no matter what attractions get added. Is it for certain that The Little Mermaid ride is a go? Or is that still rumor too at this point?

Oh and welcome horizonsfan :)

Sounds pretty good to me. Only thing though, if it was a mine coaster I would hope it would be more thrilling than the other mk coasters, though I doubt it because it is fantasyland. It would be cool if it was like the indy coaster in paris, but I dont think it would work like that, the kids wouldnt be able to ride. But then again, they do have a kiddie coaster next door, the barnstormer, so adding another kiddie one isnt really neccessary imo.

I'd be up for more dark rides. DL's Fantasyland puts WDW's to shame. Not sure about the Dwarf's coaster though. There is already a dark ride theamed to that movie. Unless they remove the Scary Adventures and make that into B&B then I just don't see it fitting in. Also, since it's Fantasyland, the coaster would have to be very tame.
