Storybook Circus Discussion

I've heard that the larger tent is actually the store formally known as County Bounty, that will be re-named and themed to the Circus.

Yeah, the old County Bounty is becoming Sideshow Souvineers.

I'm still not sure how/how well that's gonna work.
The plans I have don't give any details beyond the east entrance being Fastpass and bypassing the main tent/NextGen queue.

I don't know either. I just don't know if people are ready for that. To me it sounds like a mess.

I remember a brief description of this from when the expansion was first announced and it sounded like it was going to be sort of a "take a number" type system. When you entered the tent you would get a colored feather, and could then play the games until the color was called.

I know they tested out something similar to this over at Rock 'n' Roll Roller Coaster. Not sure how that worked out.

Still sounds iffy. What if hundreds of people want to get in? Do you have to queue for the queue?:shrug:

Um...maybe this is where the NextGen wristbands come into play.

The crucial bit though is that in the end, Walt decided to not put a circus in DL.


A decision which Walt never regretted. Circusses are not up to Disney's standards, Walt had stumbled upon a formula that was two steps ahead of circus amusement.
I wish they wouldn't build a circusland in Disney. Blegh. :hurl:

I was of the same opinion but then this dawned on me and I thought I would re-post it.....

I finally saw a decent depiction of the train station. We ain't in a European forest anymore, more like Kansas, which has its plusses. Someone made the point that a family could take the train from MSUSA to the Circus quite easily and that creates a certain immersion whether intended or not. So, I think I am liking the concept the more that I see the big picture. And I don't think we know everything yet. It might just work.
