Since we have already BTMRR, I don't want another coaster there. I would prefer to keep this one and add the Indiana Jones Adventure.

Grizzly Gulch is opening 14th July isn't it? Also the facade of Mystic Manor is now being built or has been built.

From the pics I've seen of Grizzly Gulch it looks really good.

Yes it does look great. I think Disney are at the top of their game at the moment with Grizzly Gulch, Cars Land, Buena Vista Street and Toy Story Mania/ Toy Ville Trolley Park at DisneySea.

Oh wow that was really cool.  :mrgreen: Thanks for posting that. Hopefully soon more pics will emerge of the surrounding area etc.

From what I've seen so far, it's got a really clear story. Plus, they've combined a lot of thrill elements whilst still not making it too extreme for kids.

But the best bits have got to be the bears. They add loads of humour to the ride. XD Most of the coaster rides have a serious tone, so this is a nice change. :)

Is there a connecting story for Grizzly Gulch and its rides like there is for Thunder Mesa at DLRP? Just wondering.

There's only one ride in this land, so there's not much of a connected story. But it's still really immersive, from what I've seen. :D It's got a similar story to our Big Thunder Mesa, where the Big Grizzly Mining Company has started mining there, and a town has grown around it. But sadly, Lord Henry Mystic at Mystic Point next door doesn't own the mine.

Ah okay, thanks for the information!  :D  I've seen a few pics myself and the area looks amazing. I didn't know it only had one ride though, maybe they can expand on that at a later date. The coaster looks great however.

Seems like Mystic Point isn't connected to Grizzly Gulch then story wise. I really want to know what the story will be there though, Mystic Manor is so... mysterious.  :mrgreen:  I hope they're going to use the same system in the ride as the Mansion and Manor.

The Manor will use the same trackless ride system as Ratatoullie and two rides at Tokyo Disney. ;) I'll see if I can find a recent article about it on Disney and More.

OK, found one:

Oh thanks for the link! Seems very interesting. I still hope though that there are at least references to the other Mansions. But I'm rather excited about it anyhow.  :mrgreen:

Click [url="http]here[/url] for a slight backstory to the area. It seems quite simple with a "this happened, then this happened, the result is what you see!" storyline.

As for the area, I'm unsure, the actual coaster area for me doesn't look as beautiful as Big Thunder, there's too many occasions of the track passing by itself again so that there is at one point 3 tracks in the same tunnel.. it's not quite there. But I'll give it a while to grow in, and wait for a better quality daytime video of it.

It certainly needs a secondary attraction to boost the theme a little more, thankfully the theming there is in the area looks to be of a great quality! I'm just waiting impatiently for Mystic Point now! So excited for that!

One thing that seems strange is the chunky fencing that's all over the land in certain places. It probably looks better when you're there, but it just seems to be everywhere!

What does everyone think of the streetmosphere? It seems funny that the lead presenter is English, but it seems like a great show. XD

I like the streetmosphere, it's pretty cute and a nice addition to the area. Would love to see them do the same in Frontierland!

I know people don't like the two lands meeting, but Mystic Manor peeping above the treeline actually fits well in my opinion. It's very Phantom Manor, but the style is just different enough that it makes you want to explore outside of Grizzly Gulch to find out what that building is.. sadly I doubt I'll ever visit, but if I do I don't think the area would let me down.

Ah again thanks for the links guys. At the moment the story doesn't seem as big as Thunder Mesa's but I'm glad they have a story for the town at least. I think the area looks great but yeah... I do prefer Thunder Mesa. Would love to visit here though!

And the entertainment seems fun. :) I agree that Frontierland should have something like this too; adds more character to the town, and maybe they could expand on some of the stories and personalities around Thunder Mesa.

As for Mystic Manor... I'm very excited to know more about that ride. :D
