New Fantasyland Expansion Aerial Photos 3-5-12

[Scuttle]

Here a few shots. It is not as big of an update as I hoped, but we can still see a lot of what's going on especially with SC. The rest will be up later today. Enjoy!

Thanks for the pictures!

Starting to see the land of walls will continue into what they first open up in Storybook Circus. That's a lot of red wall!

Thanks for the pics! Interesting to see all the red walls inside the area that would seem to indicate exactly what will be open this month.

Thanks for the pictures! I'm curious what they are going to do about the back of the dumbo circus tent? Seems very unlike DIsney to leave the back of a building exposed to guest and, in this case, to another ride? It even looks like they have a little seating area back there where guests can go??? Hmm...

No seating area back there for guests, but I agree that the back side is too visible. They seem to be hoping trees will (eventually) block the view effectively.

Looking Good!

Great pictures - I think I will wait until the construction is a little farther along to visit. October is looking better and better. 2014 is still looking best of all! :lol:

I noticed in these pictures that the AC pipes have been painted go-away-green like the rest of the building. I think this is, sadly, confirmation that they aren't going to do anything more to hide the back of the building other then trees.

noone has yet answered a question i posted a month or so back, 2nd row, first pic, what is the archway tunnel looking thing for? i also notice a big tree with a wide spread behind the dumbo building, in time it should grow and double its spread and hide more, just seems like a cheap way out of hiding a building from another ride, rather planting a bunch of trees close together.

also notice the "finished" looking wall in the hole for seven dwarves" que area?

new train station, on the approach to it, there is nothing but a wall blocking the view of the area from the tracks. i wonder how they will work that out at the end.

judgeing by the red walls, when phase 1 opens it will be so small and confined id really rather wait till at least half the are is open b4 i goto see it. cant wait to see the ground pics tho......

You mean the bridge that heads toward Belle's village? It's going to go over water.

That wall on the eastern side of the Mine Train looks more like the wall to the show building to me--that seems to line up with where the short portion in the mine will begin.

That's the bridge to Belle's Village. It doesn't have it's top walkway on yet so it doesn't necessarily look like a bridge yet. Just as an FYI, people did answer you when you first posted, myself included.

Scuttle, great job as always, love your aerial shots. Every monday i hope you put some up.

My two thoughts, one, they have a lot of work to do still on Storybook Circus to get it ready, a lot to clean up between the train station and the entrance by teacups. Second, that back wall for SDMT has to be where the little mermaid buildings will back up to.

Also does anyone know if there will be a passage way by the wall between Pinocchio's Restaurant and Belle's Cottage? With all the foilage, it doesnt look like it.

 

[Slugger]

Some of my friends already have rotation shifts for Storybook for next week. All they have to do is take down the green walls near the teacups and they are ready to let the guests in since the red walls are already up!

sorry, i never saw the reply before, lol. thats what i thought it was going to be, just wasnt sure.

thanks!!!!

When will the next bit open I am going in august and did not know about the expansion at the time of booking what will be built.

I think any speculation about the original Dumbo spinner being re-installed for this opening can safely be put away.

 

[BigDeal]

Yep, quick and dirty... Get that ride open ASAP so kids can get on Dumbo... What would MK be without Dumbo? A movie theatre without popcorn?

Good pics Scuttle! Thanks for the effort!

It's possible that some more bits of Storybook Cirucs will open by then, but it's unlikely anything else will be open by August.
