The building itself is beautiful, just sad to see these items bypassed. Good thing though that these are items that can be added on in the future.

I love the color scheme of the building, I almost want to eat it!

New photos
Apirl 6 2008

I have new information that this area will become the over flow queues line for the attraction that why there is a lot pipe hole in the deck.





this under cover area will quene line and later year may become the Meet characters area

Small buliding will become a food booth.





Here is the area where you will exit the attractions





I give Mr Potato Head



This area may be a OVC, or OVM




I still think is will be the fasspass ticket unit will be, right the is a temporary table with some plywood




Here is some Night picture

Re: Midway Mania attraction update photos

^Probably because it will make the already long standby line even longer. It seems like this might be a fairly fast moving attraction, seeing that 2 trains (of 8 people each) load at the same time, if I'm not mistaken.
Quick question. How can the overflow que be on the opposite side of the path?

2 trains of 8 people each? I know each car has 4 riders back to back. So that means 2 cars are attached in a small train?

They've done those split queues before. A cast member at the end of the main queue doesn't let anyone cut, a cast member at the head of the overflow queue lets a small group of guests cross over to the main queue when there is space.

Yup, they did that for Nemo in June.

Great pics! TSMM looks so awesome!

Re: Midway Mania attraction update photos

Thanks for all the construction updates!

I just want to say to all those who are disappointed with the current roof--keep in mind that that's how real boardwalk buildings look on top. They're not all Victorian all over. Not in my experience, at least. I agree that it'd be nice if the top could be fully themed, but the real issue here is the presence of several large rides looming over it, offering aerial views. Disney isn't paying any less attention to this roof than they did to the roof of Pirates or the Fantasyland dark rides or Roger Rabbit. This is nothing new, folks. You just aren't used to seeing it.
