Any guesses from the forums?

Looks like Tony Baxter. Probably part of the BTMRR queue upgrades.

 

[drkokintz]

Kinda looks like Donald Sutherland.

expansion of Safari Ride or an Indy coaster through ruins. Either way Adventureland Expansion is my guess.

Yeah I see it as tony Baxter also. And your probably right, BTMRR queue upgrades.

OK maybe BTMRR and to incorporate the BTMRR TV show that is in the works as well.

It has a Donald Sutherland feel to it.

I'll say BTMRR queue upgrades as well.

 

[JEANYLASER]

I think it will be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!

I'm also going on a Donald Sutherland look to him..And Did anyone even read what it says below about another hint...

Here’s one hint to the identity of this fine fellow: “His obsession with gold will ultimately lead him to ruin.”

So were certain it's BTMM..

Also it's been done where an Imagineer played a role as a character in an attraction..Take Tokyo Disney Seas Tower of Terror...Harrison Hightower looks alot like Imagineer Joe Rohde.

Why do I get the unsettling feeling that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is going to be getting an unnecessary backstory?

If they're going to theme it they need a story.

 

[sshindel]

it's not only getting an unnecessary backstory, it's getting an unnecessary TV show, which is IMO all kinds of unnecessary.

Twitter DisneyParks: Today's "Vintage Walt Disney World" features a photo of the Grand Opening of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in 1980 http://bit.ly/SVQ7hw

A story in themed entertainment is not always equivalent to a specific narrative.

I thought "Donald Sutherland", which of course does not help me figure out which project. Probably BTMRR given the dress and the clue, because I can't think of anything else that it could go with that we're aware of, and I can't imagine that this is the way to announce something completely new.

 

[Grotto123]

my guess would be big thunder because of the gold reference or the quote "his obsession of gold will led to his ruin" that is king midas anyone else agree

A TV show? What? Like, network TV?
