A closer look to WDW New Fantasyland artwork reveal interesting details on upcoming attractions



As promised last week here is the new artwork for WDW New Fantasyland in high-res. Actually, i had to reduce a bit the size of the file as the weight of the one released by WDW was 35 Mb and too "heavy" to be uploaded on Photobucket. Even reduced it's still in high-res and this great artwork by Greg Pro should pleased most of you.

We must also thanks WDW to have released this file in hyper-resolution as it gives the possibility to "zoom" inside the artwork...and to discover interesting unnoticed details at first sight about the new upcoming attractions.

Of course the zooming helps to see in details some decor elements like Belle's Village...



...and Gaston's fountain that you can also see in this other rendering...



...but also to discover that Beast Castle - and the rocks around it - is designed to look partly covered by (fake) snow!



A zoom on the Circus/Dumbo area provide a closer look on the Circus land entrance...



...and show how close the two Dumbo carousels will be...



...but also reveal something interesting, i.e the Circus themed "splash" zone where young childrens will get wet with pleasure.



Even more interesting are details of the seven dwarfs mine coaster. If you look closely to the rendering, not only you'll see better the dwarfs cottage but also you can have a better idea of the coaster train design which will look like elongated seven dwarfs mine wagons.



And more zooming on the same part of the artwork reveal the shining multicolored diamonds that guests will see in the mine.



In the WDW press release from last week we could read that "The journey will be accompanied by music from the classic Disney film and animated figures of Snow White and the Dwarfs..." and may be you're wondering where will be located these animated figures? Well, the most interesting detail of this seven dwarfs mine coaster gives partly the answer with this outside scene with the seven dwarfs "coming back home", standing on a big tree trunk. The coaster train will go of course under the trunk and there is no doubt that the seven dwarfs figures will be partly animated in this scene...



...paying tribute to Snow White's memorable sequence.



But the ride might include another scene with animated seven dwarfs as we can see in this new rendering below posted on Miceage today in Kevin Yee's article and showing a scene with the dwarfs, this time inside the mine.
