New Small World Characters to Blend In
March 26th, 2008
Disney has announced a few details about the new characters being added to the It’s a Small World attraction. These details talk about how the new characters will be designed to blend in with the rest of the ride. For example, Alice (shown left) will be placed by the already existing Red Rose Tree in the England section of the ride. Makes total sense to me. I really think this is one of the best decisions they could make at this time. It will give a complete new feeling on the ride for die hard fans, yet at the same time it really sounds like they are designing it so that none of the new characters will stand out so much that it changes the focus of the ride. Disney supports this theory by claiming they WILL NOT be adding neither Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse into the attraction. This leads me to believe that the “fab 5″ may be skipped for this one which I think is a good thing. Character placement is key with this one and some characters like that would stick out like a sore thumb!

It’s been confirmed that the NEW Red Monorail (Mark VII) has been going around the magic beam in the sky late at night to make sure we don’t have a repeat of the scraping on corners as when first tested. This also confirms that the monorail STAYED at the resort to get fixed. I’d almost say this is a blessing in disguise for one simple reason. Always thought it would be weird to have the awesome new Red monorail running with the old ones for so long. The Blue version of the new monorail is still expected to arrive on time in late april to early may. I like this because by the time Red is taking guests around, Blue will be almost here! I included a few pics just in case you haven’t seen the new monorail.
