Red Car Trolley Construction

[EPCOT Explorer]

So where's your actual Red Cars? We've got the sign too, and our Red Cars are now under construction and open May, 2012. You've had the sign since 1989, but where's your trolley system?

The phrase "put up or shut up" comes to mind.



Just kidding with our Floridian friends!


.

We want them badly, can you tell? :lol:

Are the trolley's going to travel around the whole park?

No, not the whole park. The trolleys will travel from the main entrance (buena vista st.) and will make stops along the way until it reaches the tower of terror (hollywood land).

another picture from Darkbeer, better quality:

notice the small sign on the trolley reads -
Hollywood
Tower Hotel
Buena Vista St.

Thats still cool but how cool would it be if they could make it loop the park and go through a tunnel to drop you off in DL as well.

Walls now span the whole Hollywood Blvd. It looks like the first set that went up were for a quick expansion of the side walk in front of Playhouse Disney.

geez.. more walls! I wonder how long these will be up for. Excited about the new trolleys! hoping for more pictures once Mint posts his update tonight

 

[cdunbar]

These walls have lights on them, so that would make me think they'll be up for awhile! :lol:

From MintCrocodiles's latest update (1/7/09)

Vintage Disney movie posters. Possibly to show Guests the time era this new Hollywood area will represent

nice! I want one of those posters in my bedroom

 

[nemofinder22]

The walls all around DCA are looking good, both since so much is coming and there nicely themed.

I like these the best, they match the area well and theres a big trolley too lol.

Wow...those are some awesome construction walls. Hopefully that's the same kind of theming we'll see when they come down.

I can't believe I just typed that first sentence in all sincerity. :lol:

A photo taken today, thanks to OC2Epcot

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

What walls! :lol:


Love the posters, they add a ton of flair.

 

[nemofinder22]

All but 3 light poles have been removed from the street, the 2 closest to Playhouse Disney are not behind walls.

I'm not sure if we have a thread on Buena Vista St., so for now I am posting these here. They are screenshots posted by MiceChat poster simba

I love this shot with the Carthay Circle Theater looming behind the trees

And these belong to the Insights and Sounds blog

and a small picture of the model, shows the new hub (carthay circle theater is on the right side of the picture)

I really hope they do do a statue similar to or this exact one because the idea behind it is just perfect to fit in with the new DCA theme:sohappy:

 

[Wilt Dasney]

As a complete early 20th-c. America geek, I am loving this idea.

I read somewhere else that the DCA Partners statue will be situated across from the one on Main St. (with the esplanade in between, obviously), sort of symbolizing both ends of Walt's career at opposite sides of the DL resort.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

The new entrance is going to be spectacular. Love the new Partners Statue. Such symbolism.


Each park should really have a unique statue of Walt, somewhere.

They almost already have one in DHS, and EPCOT's could be of him in front of the original EC Model.

Dateline Disneyland has a nice update showing the whole street has been ripped out.

A few rumors, I'v gathered from various boards so take with some salt

-The new parade gate will be East of Tower(the one thats behind walls right now) and the walls in the tower courtyard is to widen the street so the floats can make the right turn. Although the final parade route for DCA seems to constantly changing as the projects get under heavier construction.

-Towers Fastpass is to be taken out in spring to become a Red Car station(it already looks like a station too)
