The train will take fans from the new area – scheduled to open in a few years – to the area that’s now currently open. What’s unclear is if this particular train is the one attendees will ride, or a stationary one. Thanks toDisney and Morefor the heads up.

Marvel’s Avengers Academyopened on the Disney Magic Cruise, giving kids the ability to train with The Avengers.Inside the Magichas a TON of cool images and videos, but here’s just one.The Wizard of Ozis a lush, rich world that still gets referenced and mined for stories today. It was fortuitous, then, that theme park impresario Gary Goddard once conceived a park based on that world. It was calledThe Wonderful World of Ozand almost got built in Kansas City in the Nineties.Disney and Morehas a ton of info on the park, but here are a few images.
Inside the Magicpointed out this cool little short film that asked the question, “What happens if the ghosts in theHaunted Mansionfollowed you home?” Great work by the Daws Brothers.
