Colonel_SoB_fan Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Inside the magic was at the D23 expo recently and has got some details about Magic Kingdom new coaster in Fantasyland. The biggest thing to remember is that this coaster is in Fantasyland, so do not expect big thrills. I do think the coaster will be fun, as the technology will make sure that you can not get the same experience twice. http://www.insidethemagic.net/2011/08/new-fantasyland-opening-timeline-more-details-for-disney-world-expansion-emerge-from-imagineer-interview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frisbeefan Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 The details Disney is putting in Fantasyland look pretty amazing. The trains on the Mine Ride look really interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 As huge WDW fans, the Gator family is eagerly awaiting all these new attractions. We were down at MK in July, where GatorGirl got coaster credit #10 on Space Mountain, and all three of us got our first rides ever on Splash Mountain. We could see the construction of The Little Mermaid ride and Beast's castle behind the walls, and we made sure to get our last-ever ride on Snow White's Scary Adventures. When we first bought The Little Mermaid on DVD years ago, the thing I was most excited to see was one of the extras, which was a POV computer rendering of an abandoned concept for a Little Mermaid darkride. Lo and behold, a few years later it came to be. The POV of Disneyland's actual ride is pretty close to the computer animated version on our DVD. Also, I love the Mine Train cars. The concept behind making them swing looks so simple, it makes me wonder why no one ever did it before. We're still debating where to go for vacation next summer, and whether MK will be a part of those plans or if we're going to wait until at least Little Mermaid opens. The new Legoland is high on my list of places to go, as are Sea World (which I haven't been to since the early '80s), Busch Gardens Tampa (which we haven't been to since our honeymoon in '97) and Animal Kingdom (which we've never been to). Of course, if we do Animal Kingdom, then we have to go to MK too because in my mind no trip to WDW is complete without a trip to the original park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 There are a lot of parks down in Florida to visit. I would love to make it to Legoland. I love Legos as a kid. Sadly, I`m all grown up now, and haven`t spent any time with them in years! (I have looked in the architecture series some over the last full years, but never pulled the trigger on buying them). Definitely, a visit to WDW is not complete without a stop at Magic Kingdom. I don`t think I`ll be back down to Disney until that new ride opens. I`m glad MK is getting some attention in the form of new attractions. Now the other parks need to follow suit as well. BTW, Manta is an AWESOME ride at Sea World.
