With Walt Disney World in Florida preparing for a revamped Fantasyland, the big question is what will happen to the Barnstormer roller coaster. The Dumbo ride is moving right next to it, and the word is that the airplane themed coaster will sport a new a clown theme.The Disney artists themselves came up with a Pink Elephants on Parade roller coaster---it's in the movie!! Wouldn't this be perfect next to Dumbo? The surreal Pink Elephants on Parade should be represented in the Disney Parks. This could be a perfect opportunity for a very wild ride!
The stills above are taken directly from the movie. There is a roller coaster car and a standard car they could choose from if clearance for the cars is an issue.
Please Disney, no scary clowns! Give us scary pink elephants!
Edit on January 18, 2011: Disney announced today that Goofy's Barnstormer will be re-themed to "The Great Goofini." Do you remember that Goofy cartoon? I don't! Oh well, at least it's not a clown coaster.

Love your idea for a Pink Elephants attraction/overlay! Clowns are terrifying.....NO CLOWNS, PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteTokyoMagic!: Thank you! The clowns from Dumbo were especially horrific, and they don't deserve their own ride.
ReplyDeleteI was also thinking a Timothy Mouse Wild Mouse Coaster would go great with the Dumbo ride.
Anything is better than a clown coaster.
Just the *song* freaks me out, let alone the animation.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could handle a ride like this.
Well, it would be a rollercoaster, so people would already be screaming ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that would be cool! Imagine looking into those soul-less eyes at every turn! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteDarrin: Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThe most logical choice for a rollercoaster next to Dumbo would be a Casey Jr. Circus Train (like the one at Disneyland Paris). I've never experienced that ride---seems like it would do well in Florida!
Hmmm... Interesting idea, and cool blog!
ReplyDeleteHey grumpyfan, thank you!
