I agree..they look a little gaudy. Can you imagine how many people are going to wait in line just to ride on the golden one?
Marge: Barnacle Bill's Home Pregnancy Test? Homer, shouldn't we have gone with a better-known brand?
Homer: But Marge, this one came with a corn-cob pipe!
Marge: [reading from the test box] "Ahoy, Maties! If the water turns blue, a baby for you! If purple ye see, no baby thar be!"
Homer: So, which is it? Blue or purple?
Marge: Pink.
Homer: D'oh!
Marge: "If ye test should fail, to a doctor set sail!"
they wouldn't bring out a golden teacup this early- i'm sure those vehicles will be brought online at their locations on the fourth, when we're closed.
You will see the same BAD looking concept art for the lamp posts and a real-life photo of one of the tops of the lamp posts that at least to me, looks very nice.
This is assuming the gold in the real life phot is the gold they are going to use - I really hope so.
As far as a gold train, I went to the Chip and Dale Pin event on the 3rd (yes, Im a pin freak), they had a ton of concept art for pins coming out for the 50th (I believe someone counted over 400 but thats another story). Anyways, they will have a series of Pins of the Golden Ride Vechicles. They had a pin of Mickey in a gold Engine which looked really nice. Then when I started asking about more info about those, he told me that they were planning on painting the engine gold but about 2 weeks before that point (so about 3 weeks now), they changed their mind about the engine so there wont be a gold engine. He told me that they were still trying to figure out what to do with the Disneyland Railroad but havent made a decision yet that he knew of. This info was coming from the guy resposonable for auctally ordering the pins to be made.
I cant remeber all the others I saw but besides the ones pictured above, I defently remeber seeing a golden Jungle Cruise boat and I think a Casey Jr one too.
Interesting thing to point out, is I thought the gold was for Opening Day attractions. Dumbo Opened about a month after opening on Augest 16, 1955 and Casey Jr opened about 2 weeks late.
gold train merchandise would still be viable, because the lead parade float is peter pan driving a golden train into the main street station with tinkerbell (live, face-character tinkerbell nonetheless) perched on top of the cab. so it wouldn't necessarily get pulled...and who knows what's going on in the train barn downstairs? those doors have been shut tight since RR went down some time ago.
Ugh. I am NOT looking forward to that gold Dumbo. We're also apparently having a gold feather to signify who's going to be in the gold Dumbo (why we can't make all the feathers gold is beyond us, but hey. Not our decision). Everyone and their sister is going to want it, leading to lots of angry guests, hurt feelings and bawling children. It will be a nightmare. It's a nice idea, I give you that, but it's going to be horrid to work. Not to mention explaining to someone who goes to sit in the gold Dumbo who has a black feather that they have to sit in another one.
I am looking foward to the golden casey engine. It'll be nice and shiny and I'll feel all nice and shiny driving it.
