Singer, sadly, it's not done yet. :( Everything is getting build right now, everything will be finished between next year and 2014 (the stuff will open in different times). Have fun though! :)

Oh, i know that. I'm just excited to see what they have so far, like what you can see from our side of the fence. I'm sure you can't really see anything from Ariel's part but you're supposed to be able to see The Beast's castle from the other side of the fence. That'll be exciting enough lol.

I'm on my way home (driving from Orlando to near Chicago, bleh), but I spent this whole past week at Disney World and 2 wonderful days at The Magic Kingdom where I got some pretty neat pics of Belle's expansion, Ariel's expansion, the new Dumbo building, some of the circus tents, and the wall that will make the border between the new and old Fantasylands.

I'm stopping for the night at a hotel tonight, so I'll try to upload them but I might not be able to until tomorrow night! :)

Here's a video from the D23 Expo of the Imagineers' testing for the new Snow White roller coaster which looks like it will be incredible and unique. At the end of the video you can also see a model of how the expansion should look when it is completed which looks amazing.

The new Snow White ride looks like fun! As sad as I am to see the old dark ride go, the new roller coaster should make up for it.

But it can't make up for missing the queen, her mirror, or the witch and her cauldron and apple! Or the haunted forest! If only this coaster at least went through the queen's dungeon underground...

We don't know that yet. It could have that in for all we know.

To be fair, that ride gained a negative reputation for depicting too much of the witch (and the scary forest) and not enough of Snow White or the dwarfs. Maybe now that will go away.

Perhaps they will put the witch in somewhere in a cameo, but the ride is a roller coaster that takes you through the mine where the dwarfs work; none of those things are in the mine so it wouldn't be all that surprising if we didn't see them.
We're not going to Guam, are we?

Yeah, I heard she's going to be in it somewhere (I think towards the end).

I would so lol if they put the same witch with the killing gem boulder from original first WDW ride right back in this one. Meaning she gets to kill you again.

Well, a certain amount of fans actually loved the ride for those scary things, but this ride could avoid a vad reputation by just not having the scary stuff as much. Just a little bit, and maybe a little less scary, you know?

But none of the rides are exactly completely like the films would be in real life. They change things a little for the rides all the time, and I think the queen's underground lair would fit in if it "connected" to the dwarf's mine even if we don't actually see that in the movie. But both the mine and dunegon are underground so they could connect.

I think the Queen will be included in some way, perhaps disguised as the hag lurking in the forest. I just don't think the ride will incorporate the dungeon as well as the mine; I could be wrong but the various videos from the D23 Expo and the information we have, as limited as it is right now, don't point to the dungeon being included. I hope we do see the Queen at some point.

Anyone else bothered that you can see Eric's oceanside castle from Mermaid while riding? And you also see other landmarks? Seems odd - it reminds me of Casey Jr. Circus Train around Storybookland.

I havet to admit I don't think we should see the landmarks from other lands in whatever land we're visiting.
