If so, I might be gaining some respect for Tommy Staggs. ~Spirit, The One, The Only, The Magical!~

I'm certainly glad that they're thinking of adding another new ride to the mix, but not at the expense of removing another just for princesses. C'mon Disney, give us MORE decent rides, less characters! (Not every new ride has to be an E-Ticket. A few C & D dark rides would be awesome!)

Also, DLR has a very pretty Snow White Grotto and a duplicate could find a place in the area.

ORWEN: Yeah, it's a good thing we still have some of the classic attractions around or there wouldn't be any reason to visit a Disney theme park in the future. ORGOCH: Got axes ta grind?

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. << I always drive right past Gainsville since it's a college town I know the gas prices, and everything else is inflated. Now that I know they have redneck tailgate parties there, I will be stopping in the future. >> -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.

Not a good thing. >> -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. << If it's built, and that's a big if, I think it will be a little people's coaster. Kind of like Barnstormer.

You increase attraction capacity by addin new attractions. Not by swapping them out.

Originally Posted By Lee hisownself Hard to describe it based on the limited info I have. It will use a coaster ride system, with a coaster train. I use the "mine car ride" terminology to try to distance it from the image that "coaster" gives mist people. Try "mine car junior coaster ride".
