I've done many threads on updating Mickey's Toontown, and now it's just about to emerge from a real overhaul. It's really not bad at all. However, there are still a few areas for improvement, and I will try and keep as realistic as possible...
For instance, I've felt that Donald's Boat's (and by extension, Donald's) significance in the land has been diminished. They really didn't have a choice in that regard. But the way they talk about Donald's Duck Pond makes it seem as though it's not actually his property, but Goofy's, given its proximity to the latter's home.
There's not much that can be done with Donald's Boat at this point, but I've thought about increasing Donald's significance by having the roller coaster nearby be rethemed away from Chip 'n' Dale and towards Donald. The theme would now be either Donald running his own flight school, not unlike Goofy's Sky School at the CA Adventure, possibly called Donald's Air Academy (the idea is that he's opened a flight school as a way to pay for his boat's leakage being drained), or maybe a backyard roller coaster for Huey, Dewey and Louie. In either case, the back of the area where the treehouse once stood will be rethemed as a new home Donald, resembling that in the Game Boy Color game "Mickey's Racing Adventure", where the residential district looks a lot like that in Toontown:
The queue for the coaster will wend through Donald's house, which should be about as long as Mickey's Country House at the old Toontown Fair, where you wind through a few rooms (living room, bedroom, kitchen) before coming out into Donald's garage, where the load area is. Maybe it could be a boathouse, given its proximity to the boat and duck pond. Also, what was once the old queue for the roller coaster will now be the exit.
That's basically the main thing to be done in Toontown.
However, there are other smaller touches I would see redone as well. One area of interest is the license plates in the queue for the Roger Rabbit ride. I haven't seen the post-overhaul version of the ride, but I'm going to assume it's the same as before. In any case, here's a picture of the license plates together:
With Disneyland purging itself of everything related to "Song of the South", I thought I would replace the license plate reading "ZPD2DA" with something else. I was thinking maybe something like "1E D PU" ("Winnie the Pooh") or "CASEY JR". Also, "FAN T C" would be renamed "FAN T ZA" ("Fantasia").
Along the left-hand wall, I would add two more license plates, one reading "ALADN" (near the very top) and another reading "DONL DUK" at the bottom, next to the license plate reading "IM L8".
Those are the two main things I would do to finish up Toontown: a new version of the roller coaster and a few updated/additional license plates in the queue for Roger Rabbit. However, I would also try and modify the music loop of the land, plus modify the WACKY Radio loop indoors (I'm thinking of renaming it KRAZY Radio or maybe KDIZ Radio (although that may not work since there's a real radio station with those call letters in Minnesota)).
What are your thoughts?
