But that's what Tuck and Roll's thingy already takes place inside!

I'm going to say that the large red pavillion thing is just that, a large red pavillion. Nice shady spot near an attraction. Possible seats and ODV or small food service place (drinks, snacks)

i believe the roundhouse is suppose to be between the tower courtyard and the hyperion queue.

My understanding is that future attractions would go into the remaining space of the Timon lot, probably as backstage ride buildings that have an entrance from Cars Land.

could be but from what i understood the land itself has a couple spaces for future additions. One was the large area between the main drag and the backroad that leads to the wharf entrance near the beer truck.

In the map art it does show a large structure behind the buildings on the main drag its connected to the large white circular air filter structure

Ummm, so did the Sun Wheel truly close today?

no it will not be removed. At one point it was going to be relocated but not anymore.

The plans now are to enhance the queue and surrounding area to make it fit the new theming.

to a certain degree it is a waste because that area of the park does need a good sitdown restuarant but the location is so out of the way that people missed it.

Also the area could be demolished and that huge piece of property used for another darkride but at the moment the resort is making money form the building. It is constantly being rented for private parties similiar to the millionare building

Ah yes, I saw that building behind the white round structure after my post and was too lazy to update it.

You're right, it looks big enough to be a dark ride, but it has such a strange shape and differing roof levels, it's hard to tell. It could just be a variety of shops/food joints facing different pathways.

So the tracks would cut across the road in front of the TOT courtyard? Hmm. If the roundhouse is there, maybe they will make that an attraction in itself? I hope so! I always thought Disneyland should make the DLRR roundhouse an attraction, since trains are so ingrained in Walt Disney's life.

Actually look just next to that second umbrella. Could that be the future drive-in restuarant behind it


As for the map its all out of wack.

There is no road between Mater and FFF in the actual model. Also what happen to the huge ITTBAB building?

How could it be an attraction though?

Ah, I've seen that image before, but had so concentrated on the line going all the way past the TOT towards the pathway to Cars Land that I missed that little spur going off to the roundhouse, just where you said it would be. Nice!

Well it could be like the firehouse on Main Street. Sort of a museum talking about the Red Trolleys history, plus other information about them and generally, a way to get up close and personal with the mechanics and the servicing of the trolleys.

To be sure, a DLRR roundhouse attraction would be much more compelling since steam engines are quite a bit more complicated than electric trolleys.

I was curious about that also. From looking at it, it looks as if you pass through an extended A Bug's Land before you venture into Hollywood. It could be anything at this point. A Band stand, eatery, store... Drive em Buggies II....
