Still, I'm happy to know that Goofy will still be the focus of the ride, and that the entire back section of the FLE won't be all Dumbo.

I knew it was going to change, and I really am glad that it still has a Goofy tie-in. I just hate to see this well done little ride change.

The ride represents the twists and turns of the contorted magician who is escaping from a box/chains/straight-jacket. The box/chains/straight-jacket are metaphors for life. It's going to be a very conceptual kiddy ride. Kinda like making a ride about a giant snow monster and then showing you said snow monster for a split second. Expect this ride to change your kids' lives. They'll board the ride as excited little seven year olds and leave the ride as cynical, middle-aged liberals. This is going to be magic in action!

It seems like a new rumor arises almost weekly. I can't believe concepts are changing this late in the game, unless they were clearly clueless about the direction of this project from the start.
