I would however prefer to have had The Great Muppet's Movie Ride, i've heard soo many stories of that legendary attraction. Shame it couldn't come to be.

Nothing at DLR is a done deal until it's a done deal. Narnia is a stinker of a project. It just doesn't have the appeal it needs to become a major attraction. And the last thing DCA needs is a weak new attraction.

The Muppet Ride through has some appeal to me. And If they turn the old Millionaire bldg into a Ride thru attraction, you would have a few dark rides all within a close proximity. Almost a mini Fantasyland. That might work. Certainly it would be a heck of a lot more appealing than the horrid Anaheim Idol! BLECHHHHHH!

Yes the sunwheel will go into yesterland on September 11 and when it re-opens sometime in November it will be known as Mickey's Fun wheel

Don't forget the disapearance of the Mickey silhouette on screamin's loop.

That is due to be replaced with Paradise Pier's logo

I'm sure it will look nice, but I'm really going to miss that Mickey head. I love how the lights follow the train, as it goes through the loop.

The motor boat area is a nice chunk of real estate, I just felt the setting of the provincial town that Belle was from would fit better with the European architecture that's in the main part of Fantasyland. Also, part of the motor boat dock is being used as a smoking section for the park that's more out of the way for the rest of the guests. So I don't know how much something like that would affect any kind of a decision.

That's because right now it leads to nowhere... I'm sure that If a new area themed to belles town and a dark ride to go with it would draw guests back there. They could easily find a new smoking area.

edit: haha sorry we shunned this topic

How would that work?

Narnia would be a 3D show, not the walk-through/exhibit at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

I they just remove the Mickey silhouette and replace it with the Paradise Pier logo that was right under the loop before TSMM came

Basically Sunwheel and Screamin are kinda flipping symbols...Sunwheel is getting a Mickey Face and Screaming' will get a brand new Paradise Pier logo. The reason for this changeover is because the 1930s Mickey face on the Sunwheel is going to play a role in the new nighttime show and it would be repetitive to have two giant mickey faces in paradise pier (plus fans like me would then complain about too much cartoon stuff everywhere) so it makes sense to me. I wonder if they will make any other changes to the sunwheel some music or something perhaps?

This shouldn't be a shock to anyone all the concept art and pictures were released back in october and can be found on the first page of this very thread.

According to Screamscape.com:
2011 - Walt Disney Plaza - Confirmed - (7/8/08) We’ve heard a bit more about the Walt Disney Plaza area, confirming that the Carthay Theater building will simply be an empty shell for the time being. However we have heard that the upstairs section may be used as another exclusive Club 33 style VIP Room. It was also mentioned that there may be some kind of Disneyland fireworks viewing area from here as well. We’ve also got a little more information about Hollywood Land, the new name likely to be used for the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. When the renovations are complete this area of the park is supposed to hold the majority of the track for the new Red Car Line trolley system, running guests from here to the new main gate area. The cars are said to hold only about 20 people each.

I think adding an extra exclusive "club" here would be an awesome addition, although I wouldlike to see an attraction inside the building. I doubt I will be able to afford membership to this "club" if it becomes a reality.

Seems cool, but it will be another part of the park I'll never get to visit.
