Sorry, I meant to title this "New Fantasyland web-site Live". (Mods, can you change?)

I may have missed this in a post somewhere, but it looks like Disney has taken the wraps off the New Fantasyland web-site. Be sure to go thru all the attractions (flags), they have a little "surprise" at the end.

Kinda shows you there is of little of substance in this project for anyone over the age of 4, and seen as people will tell me: 'Its for kids, its not for you", and the fact that people love quoting Uncle Walt: "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."

Such a shame that they had to concoct this hokey pandering story when they wouldn't of needed to if they built an expansion for the sake of building, as opposed to being forced to build. Urggh​

There's a themed restaurant and a dark ride. If you can't enjoy that, Fantasyland was never a place for you to begin with.

Agreed. It's a shame nowadays things are only built if there's a financial reason to do so, instead of a creative urge/ability to do it.

I don't know about that. It doubled the Dumbo ride, which is big because it's simple yet beloved and the wait time STUNK! It spiffed up the Barnstormer which is a good little roller coaster for kids (which I have). The dark rides in fantasyland are all of the same ilk, and I don't see Mermaid being any different. Which ride in fantasyland was ever for adults in the first place? PPF? MAWP? IASW? SWSA? Fantasyland is more than FOR Kids. It's a place for adults to BECOME kids again. How can it do that without having it be childlike?

The restaurant is an opportunity to to enter into the scene of a disney classic and we get a medium range roller coaster next year. On top of that they created an actual landscape. Not just a bunch of suped up store fronts which is what Fantasyland really is in the first place. It's breathtakingly beautiful and a sign of thing to come having raised the standard of what new attactions themeing should look like. What more do you want?

Oh... and there's an interactive experience with the Belle thing. Jeeesh! :D

Since when was poor food an attraction to a land? My point was the only reason it got forced down the pipeline was for capacity reasons. Honestly I wish they took that $425million and spent it on fixing "Show Quality" issues around the MK

The point is if you talk down to your audience, all you'll have is an attraction for Preschoolers, if you talk up to your audience you'll have an attraction that works for everyone. The only one that does it to any degree is IASW. Oh your doing sarcasm, cute...

Thanks for calling me cute and all, but I wasn't being sarcastic. =)

How is Winnie the poo ride or any other in fantasyland made for anyone other than a young child? I simply don't see it. Let me ask you, what would you think would be a better use of the space? Keeping in mind of course, that it's fantasyland. I am a roller coaster buff and have been on many around the country. There's a part of me that would love more rollercoasters in MK, but that's not why I go there. I go there to be a 40 year old child who runs around with other children reliving my youth. I'm curious as to what you would have done.

Oh and capacity issues are a huge problem and something that needs to be addressed. Why is it that you would rather they fix show quality issues when all the people are jammed together in a bottle neck at IASW. I am sooooooooooo happy they are opening up the place. I just don't see the negatives as you do I suppose?

I don't know if you can say it's "poor food" before the area is even officially open. All restaurants need some shakedown time.

This is the best I can do at the moment. It moves a bit too fast to really get detail, but it's still cool.

Yeah, hmm, what's with Maleficent at the end? Oh, well, it's not like they're
going to break ground on a Villians ride next week or anything, so probably
just part of entertainment, fireworks, or castle show . . . .

Fantastic looking renderings, though.
