Not now they wouldn’t…

But, but it's Tim Burton..Disney's salvation to anything Goth..

I think the tunnel itself is fine. You’ll be in it a matter of moments, it’s consistent with the look of the area, there aren’t a bunch of conduits on the wall like in the Adventureland tunnel, and assuming the cutouts are windows, you might see a lightcycle woosh by. It makes for a good transition as it opens up to Storybook Circus.

I don't think you'd be able to see the lightcycles passing by from ground level of the train through those windows, would you? I don't really get what the train riders are supposed to be seeing through them though obviously work is not done yet.

Well it's not like they had a bunch of extra dinosaur AAs lying around...

...oh wait.

That would have dented Chapeks profits though.

The cutouts to me look to be facing the under-the-entrance launch point for the cycles where they exit the show building.

In one of those cement cut-outs Disney has a surprise for everyone longing for Energy's dinosaurs. Look quick, you'll see... Ellen!!

Woah... which is the real Ellen?

I still say, if Disney bought the rights to WW, that would make an AWESOME dark ride!

The whole catalog of Roald Dahl books could make an amazing "alternative fantasyland" full of weird and wonderful dark rides (Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, The Witches...)

On its own it is sort of super random and not especially awe inspiring - it feels like someone looked and said "We have all these dinosaurs, can we squeeze them into Disneyland somewhere?", which is basically what it is.

The integration in Tokyo works better, thanks to the addition of BTMRR after park opening.

You pass by the rockwork and cliffs with the dino bones sticking out and then enter a cave where you see them come to life.

In DLR, there's no real transition between Grand Canyon and Primeval World besides a fade to black.

I’ve always been impressed at how realistic the WDI animatronics of real people are. HoP Lincoln looks just like I remember him.

Really? I always thought aas of real people looked like a suggestion of the person's looks. More like a characture

Most of them look awful. I have nightmares with the Trump AA.

The pre Carter ones are spot on and then idk what happened

If only he was made of wax , but unfortunately there is a real version of him

They recently spoke about they wanted to reuse them for Cosmic Rewind and it didn't work out... and I'm just like... UGH.

So yes I agree, they should have moved them over and improved the Railroad... as Disneyland's is far more interesting.

Same. I was going to nitpick a few flaws in the Washington and Adams AA’s from the photographs I have archived away from our days together but decided it wasn’t worth it.

 

[HauntedPirate]

The thought of having this down for years and not improving the tunnels is … so Bob.

 

[Casper Gutman]

I love the Disneyland Railroad. The history of DL and its broader cultural significance is a huge part of the attraction of the Disney parks. Things like the DLRR and Mr. Lincoln are great links to that past. Of course, the whole park shouldn't be a museum, but it also shouldn't forget its history - that's how you get EPCOT, and no sane person wants EPCOT.

 

[Movielover]

Funny, that's what guest satisfaction reviews said too after EPCOT opened!
