News Alert!Preliminary plans for the Family Farm area of Disney's America have been scrapped. According to sources close to the design and construction teams, upper management has decided to scrap the plans for the working farm which was one of the proposed areas of the theme park to open Haymarket VA. Disney Imagineers have instead opted to continue the State Fair concept with the addition of a traveling circus! The circus will feature several interactive displays and attractions, all themed to the classic Walt Disney feature film, "Toby Tyler, or Ten Weeks with the Circus".
Guests will enjoy lessons in the trapeze arts, visiting a real menagerie and side show, riding elephants, seeing behind the scenes tours of clown alley, and of course, sitting through a real three ring circus event, as it might have been 100 years ago.
Management of Walt Disney Theme Parks are convinced that Toby Tyler's circus is a far better use of space and personnel than literally watching crops grow on the now abandoned Family Farm concept. Numerous imagineers are contributing their time and effort to this new, exciting concept! Many new and exciting pieces will be available for the community to use!
