I'm going to fly to DLR and pay a visit to City Hall AND write a nasty letter to Guest Relations.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I don't know maybe the map show will be better than I'm expecting, but I can't imagine anything better than the space could be used for a whole new big attraction/land. Shows are usually borderline okay the first time around, and then you never feel like you ever need to return to see it again. At least that's how I feel about most shows.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros If you used the space between the backside of Storybookland and the railroad, there is probably enough space for a decent mini-land (like Critter Country), especially if you consider the Big Thunder Ranch area as part of it. From what I've seen, it looked like it would be mostly spinners and flatrides, which are pretty compact. I believe the proposed Dumbo's Circus Land design was in the 70's, so they would have been able to squeeze things into smaller space, without the need for modern accessibility codes and such. A circus-themed area is one of those things that WDI has wanted for years and years and years. Hopefully now that the Storybook Circus area has opened up in WDW, they feel like they've finally fulfilled that dream and don't need to do it again. But knowing how they operate these days, it will probably be coming soon to a theme park near you
