New Dumbo just the beginning of Circusland?

[The Conundrum]

The blueprint clearly shows a dead end piece of train track. That has always led me to believe the Casey train at WDW will be an elaborate LCI/animatronic show that appears on a schedule and where kids could walk up and interact with the animals. That would be amazing in my opinion.

The Blueprints don't match the concept art though because Dumbo's Circus is shown in the lower right corner in the art and it is backed up by Jacobson saying that Barnstormer will be incorporated into the circus. The blueprints don't show Pixie Hollow in the correct area and they don't show the Pixie darkride which can also be seen in the art.

The blueprints are from an older version of the land.

The Casey Jr in the pic looks to be either photo op, shopping, or snack vendor. Nothing more.

I would love to see them sell all kinds of wild popcorn there.

Will Toby Tyler be in Circusland? That would totally make my this my Disney decade. They did dig pretty deep for lots of the Blue Sky Cellar ideas at DCA.

I think the suits are finally getting the nostslgia that Disney gives people. Sure, the Bronze Age was great for Disney (Eisner Era) but they cannot keep forgetting the Gold and Silver ages.

Clearly you have never been on the ride.

Riding it at night while the fireworks are going off and all the fantasyland rides are in action is a truely exquisite experince. Fun for the whole family unlike the meet/greets

Actually I was on it in May but not at night, if they build this in WDW in my eyes it has to be something more. They need to take Casey JR. to the next level.

I thought I heard a rumor when these plans first came out that they would be shop/stalls like the real scale train in DCA?

Ah the bronze age. :lol: Very clever.

That still does not explain the track leading from backstage in the original blueprint. It clearly dead ends "on stage". So even if the FL expansion has been reconfigured, that does not mean the concept (whatever it is) is no longer viable. It does not appear to be a ride or a static installation.

WDI have said quite a few times that it's stilla work in progress, and things are being changed. So at this point both the concept art and the blueprint are not 100% pictures of what we'll see. But I would certainly agree that the concept art seems to show the most up-to-date rendition of what will happen.

I only wish we had the updated blueprint. :lookaroun

OH I see it now thanks!

I like the idea for the new Dumbo area. But I hope it doesn't look tacky.
I remember when I was in DL a couple of years ago they had the Casey Jr. Train. But I never went on it when I was there.
I didn't know back then that Casey Jr. Train is from Dumbo. But if they put it in MK, I think that is a good idea.

It's interesting to notice that the concept art of Dumbo from the front appears to be a much earlier version, even before they went to the Double Dumbo idea. In this drawing it appears it is the currently existing Dumbo with a tent-themed queue are covering the ride. The fact that Cinderella's Carousel is partially seen on the left makes it even more clear that this is a very early-on concept set in the areas these attractions already exist. It should give some ideas as to the themeing of the new Double Dumbo area, though.

Walt loved the circus and I believe DL at one time had a live circus on property. I think it only lasted a few years.

Actually I think it only lasted one Christmas holiday season. It was such a disaster, they got rid of it immediately.

I don't remember the ride looking worn out the last time I was there.. This was one of the original DL rides. While it isn't on the scale of Indy or SM, it's really well-made and a neat little addition to FL.

if you've only seen pictures I suggest taking a look at a video to get a better idea of what the ride is like. It isn't really talked about that often so I doubt many here even know this ride exists.. It is very detailed and looks even better at night when all the little villages are lit-up

I don't see a Pixie Darkride in the concept art. Where exactly is it? :shrug:
