Path behind Goofy Barnstormer

[rcapolete]

I was looking on live.com and i noticed behind the Goofy's BArnstorm there is a reddish colored path the goes behind the speedway and over to the area by space mountain. Is this a path that is open to the public or is it a cast member path only.

Yeah, it's a guest path. The number of people who don't realize it is are astounding. Many times I've had people either not know what I'm talking about when I mention it, or give something like "you're not supposed to be there, I don't think." And on the busiest days it's empty.

It's very nice to walk down at night, though. Good ambience, very peaceful, nicely lit but not bright, with occassional kinetic interruptions by cars and trains. It's also the best way to get to Tomorrowland after you get off the train.

damn i have been to WDW over 15 times and never noticed the path. Has it always been there is is it something that was added recentely. Then again i was there in May and did notice then either.

Candy Trail

They use it at Halloween for a Alice Treat Trail.

There are like 5 stops along this path where you can get candy, sometimes The White Rabbit, Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts all do meet and Greets here for Halloween too.

However you can only enter at Toon Town so you kinda have to walk all the way round to do it again.

are you guys taling about the path that you go on right after you get off the train at toon town? if you go to the left?

 

[rileyspaw]

That's the one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been there for as long as Toontown has existed, which I think makes it about 20 years old? I've walked it many times, as it is a way to get by the castle if you're trying to get to or from Tommorowland/Fantasyland during parade/show times, and want to avoid the castle.

As a frequent visitor to the MK, I look for those out-of-the-tourist-way places to have a quiet walk, sit for a spell, and let the magic happen. This path is just one of those places. It is a great place to watch the trains go by, and wave to the engineer and passengers. To find the path from Tomorrowland, walk toward Space Mountain and the Power Company/Arcade, and walk to the left of the Arcade. You will see Cast Member gates that lead back to Space Mountain (the Utilidor does not extend to SM), but stay on the path and you'll soon be in MTF.

This was taken from the path.

One neat thing is the lightposts that line the path. They each have a sign posted that says 'Tomorrowland' on one side and 'Mickey's Toontown Fair' on the other. So which ever way you walk, you see the signs that feature your destination.

The Path

It's a great path and area. We've taken it a few times to avoid crowds. The first time the family was scared because nobody was on it. It's one of the only places to see the train rolling.

 

[Imaginationeer]

It's really the only place in MK where you can walk on New Years' eve and not see one person. I guess the secrets out!

Been there a long time....and it (or rather, a larger replacement) will likely one day provide access to that large expansion pad north of Space Mountain.

Always use it for a go-between, or even just to relax. The train was my first favourite Disney ride, and still remains to this day for the nostalgia it holds. Seeing it from a comfortable park bench on a shaded, uncrowded path makes it slightly better.

The Path!

Oh I love this path. A bit of serenety on a day of action. I have some cool family pics with the train going behind them there. Nice option to walk! Just don't everybody go do it now. I kinda feel it is my path since we are only ones on it ever.

Mojo Max:

I leave in Coral Springs also, where about are you?

 

[Diz Bride]

Sorry, I meant live not leave. I haven't had my morning coffee yet!

 

[PBarton]

No doubt the path will look like Main Street does as soon as Wishes finishes now that the secret it out- lol

i sure dont recall it being a part of the original birthdayland construction. seems it was added in 95 or 96,i remember seeing them tear the ground up & no one would really say or knew why until concrete was being poured...

 

[PhilharMagician]

As already said this is the quitest place in all of MK.

 

[Turcicus]

That little path is also one of my favorite places, as it's always peaceful.

Check out this guy's trip report. Scroll down the linked page to "Hot Disney Thing #9" and see what happened to him on that path! - http://x-entertainment.com/articles/disneyadventure/part1/index2.html

Beware - if I remember correctly, there's some colorful language in other sections of his report. It's a fun read, though.

omg i was on it one time and in the wooded area near the train drop off the woods were smoking, like steam. prolly just something to activate the tracks or something or other.
