Photos - Storybook Circus soft opening

[pppapazo]

I have added lots more pics at http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions...12-PHOTOS---Storybook-Circus-soft-opening.htm

I, for one, can't wait to find out what Humphrey is doing on that poster. I was hoping for at least a reference to Bongo, but if they can make it work within the Circus theme, Humphrey is way better!

Timothy Mouse used to stand on the absolute top of the middle of the old dumbo ride. From what I can see, it;'s the storks at the top of this Dumbo? Will Timothy be on the other Dumbo carousel, or did he get eliminated?

I like that the map doesn't call Dumbo or the Barnstormer new.

I'm guessing since they are basically just moving the old one, he will still on that spinner and will be included once it reopens.

I thought that the old dumbo was getting a facelift? I thought cosmetic changes were being made which is why there is a delay in opening part 2. I figured the 2 spinners would match. But I do hope to see the mouse back on the other spinner either way.

I doubt they'd make the 2 dumbos different.
They will probably be identical. It would be weird otherwise

I don't have any solid info on this, but I was under the impression the old one was just getting a refurb, but would remain the same. I may be wrong though.

I like how they include the dumbo building on the map.

I doubt you are wrong. I have been out of the WDW news for a while. I am sure I am mistaken.

For the looks of it, they don't even plan on planting trees between the dumbo building and the Barnstormer. You can see the whole building while riding the coaster.

Yeah, I'm worried about that. There's nothing separating the building and the Barnstormer except for concrete and a small garden that won't block any views. Kind of disappointed about that. It's really a theme killer.

I have no info to state one way or another, but they could be trying to make the two dumbos different and give each a unique vibe. Kinda like how Space Mountain has two different tracks, they may have one carousel that Ms Jumbo and Stork, and the other maybe Timothy and Crows or something like that. I would find it odd to take Timothy out of the ride, since he's the second most major character probably from the movie, and was instrumental in helping Dumbo fly.

One thing I must say is, the detailing is spectacular in that part of the park. From water on Dumbo, to matching the railings on the train station from Main Street. It does not look cheap and half thrown together like so many of these new "sponsored" rides.

I wondered what happened to the day when they built attractions and areas with every little detail planned out. Now it looks like they are bringing some of that back! Bravo TDO!

Thanks for all the great pictures. it really looks like they paid alot of attention to detail for once. Cant wait to see the whole land opened.

 

[mousefreak]

The details of everything in the pictures look great. Can't wait to see it in September.

Love the water feature on Dumbo, looks nice, The barnstormer queue looks decent but too lightly themed in my opinion... But on the other hand it is a kiddie coaster.

 

[liveforholidays]

Does anyone know when The Casey Junior water play area is likely to open? It says coming soon on the new map - in time for our visit 10th - 23 rd april?

 

[asianway]

Are the old toontown signs still up along the walkway to tomorrowland?

They were already down Saturday when they painted the railings.

 

[Megavolt]

It is some great placemaking, but it is hardly anything new. At the end of day, we have a spinner that we have had for 40 years now and the same kiddie coaster that has been back there for years. Details are great, but it is a shame we won't see a new attraction like Mickey's Madhouse or something in that area.

Overall, outstanding job with the aesthetic details, but the lack on new attractions hurts it to me.
