Originally Posted By leobloom Things I like about Lee's report: -A second new ride for FL. The lack of a second new ride seems to have been the biggest complaint about FLE 1.0. -The possibility that the land can still expand around the Circus area. That is, if the Circus is expendable. And I realize it could be like Toontown Fair and hang around well past its expiration date. -Getting rid of Snow White's dark ride. It's a pitiful attraction. Only reason I ride it is because the line is usually less than 10 minutes. Things I don't like about Lee's report: -Dumbo's Circus. It's almost like the one person on Earth who thought Chester and Hester was a good idea, decided to put a circus in the MK. This has the potential to be as charming as a redneck tailgating party in Gainesville. -The M/G in place of Snow White. If a ride doesn't eventually replace the M/G, that will be a missed opportunity. Much like changing the Star Tours film every few years. I'm not convinced a ride will replace this M/G. Fingers crossed. -The Mine Coaster. *Sigh* I'm very glad they added a second ride to FLE, but I'm wondering how this is going to turn out. How much space is there for a coaster in this area? I understand it might be a dark ride/coaster combination, but I'm still expecting this to be a very brief ride (like the Barnstormer) with...dwarves? I dunno, I mean I've seen the dwarves' mine in the current dark ride and it's less than impressive. Why do I want to ride a coaster through there? (I'm only being a little faceticious.) I was really hoping we'd get a dark ride for a brand new movie--Alice or Dumbo or really anything but Snow White. But I am very curious to see what they do with this new mine coaster ride.

Also, they went and rehabbed it several years ago--making it better than it originally was. Since this was the first feature length animated film from Uncle Walt it deserves to be honored with a permanent attraction. They should just keep upgrading it every so often.

Originally Posted By leobloom >> I like the Snow White dark ride in Florida, myself. It's certainly better than the one in California << I don't think so. And DL's recently got an upgrade with a couple of nice special effects that are, of course, absent in MK's.

Look at the middle portion of the Fantasyland Expansion. Now I don't think this new ride will be the scope of BTMRR, but I am just pointing out that there is plenty of space for a fantastic attraction. Especially... if you think in three dimensions.
