Originally Posted By FerretAfros I thought it was sometime in 2012, but looking at the pictures, I would guess they're aiming for summer 2013. Then again, the Little Mermaid attraction at DCA came together very quickly once the building was up, but I suspect this ride system will need some extra testing.

See USS? As messed up as the modern WDC is with SOME things, this is how you get people ready and excited for your new stuff!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Thanks for sharing dagobert. Great update. Pleased the hear the ride system was saved for MM, but I am really disappointed with the tooning of the monkey. I was hoping hkdl would get some decent quality aa's. I find the toon ones (like in the mermaid ride at dca) distinctly lacking. This was the one project that had me excited, now I am less excited.
Originally Posted By dagobert I'm also not sure what to think about the toonified monkey. I've expected something like the TOT at TDS. At least they saved the ride system. The building looks huge and I like the design of the manor. Until now DLP's Phantom Manor building was my favorite, but the HKDL building looks really great.

In my opinion Grizzly Gulch and Mystic Point should have been combined to a single land. I wouldn't mind to call the whole land Grizzly Gulch. There have been many strange town names during the colonisation of America during the 19th century. Aren't both lands situated in that time frame, or am I wrong?
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Agreed, though I think perhaps there is a 30 year difference looking at things?

I don't know if the name Wild West exists in the Anglo-American culture. However they could have used the Manor from DLP to match the time, but then the new design of the building wouldn't fit.
