"The New Fantasyland" Thread Summary

While the decrease in overall park capacity will be small by the removal of Alladin and the addition of a second spinner at Dumbo, it's still a loss of a ride in the guests mind.

I doubt people will go on Dumbo North Spinner, and then later in the day go back to try out Dumbo South Spinner. (Okay, there's plenty of us here that will do that, but I'm talking about Mr. and Mrs. Tourist here. :lol: )

Yet something tells me when Double Dumbo arrives, Alladin's carpets will still be there spinning in Adventureland for years to come.

As for that NextGen queue, I'm thinking it's a version of Turtle Talk with the guests cycling through the circus tents getting the backstory on Dumbo and interacting with the digital characters before being assigned a slot in either the north or south spinner staging area. Any other ideas on what the interactive Dumbo queue might be?

I've heard it is more like you get a number and wait to be called. While waiting, parents have bleachers to sit on while kids play/explore in a three ring circus atmosphere...sounds like a great way to occupy time as opposed to standing in line with an impatient child!

If so, that sounds like a fantastic idea. To me this idea seemed to have spawn from guest complaints.

"We don't like waiting in the sun for Dumbo."
"Ok, we'll cover the queue."
"That's not enough, my kids whine, and they want to get on Dumbo. It's 95 degrees and they're hanging off me and this line is taking forever..."
"Let's double the capacity and make the waiting area something that is also entertaining to kids."
"Deal."
