With Goofys' Barnstormer rumoured to be rethemed to either a cheese :shrug: coaster or a cheshire cat coaster in the proposed Fantasyland expansion I had my own idea for retheming it.
See what you think and then please post your own ideas.
My idea is that with the proposed plan showing two dumbo spinners being located next to Goofy, it should be rethemed to the Pink Elephant scene from the movie.
I would build a Big Top tent around the coaster placing it indoors. (the Big Top would be a nod to what was previously there: Toon Town Fair)
The lift hill would be surrounded in (now stay with me) a tunnel of video screens (like the roof down the street in Las Vegas) that shows bubbles that turn into elephants as you travel up the lift hill.
Then as you crest the hill you are inside the Big Top there would be a constant loop of scenes from the movie projected onto the walls around you with the Pink Elephants song playing in the background, and various pink elephant maquettes spinning around as you went by.
An animatronic Dumbo and Timothy Mouse could be in the queue next to Dumbo's spiked bucket of water sleeping it off.
Obviously the imagineers could make this idea play a lot better than I could, but I think it's a good idea for an overlay for one of my favourite Disney animations.
I think the Pink Elephant scene is one of the most imaginative and for its time ground breaking pieces of animation produced and deserves a bit of love.
Well what are your thoughts / ideas? :wave:
