Disney has started installing the new ‘Smellephants on Parade’ attraction at Magic Kingdom in Florida.
Smellephants on Parade presented by Scentsy is a new interactive “search and sniff” experience in the theme park’s Storybook Circus.
When entering Storybook Circus, guests will see a casting call posted by Timothy Q. Mouse seeking a “whiff-sistant” to join Dumbo’s newest act.
At the ticket booth in front of Big Top Souvenirs, a cast member will give guests an illustrated map of the area, as well as a sticker sheet.
Interactive “search and sniff” experience
Visitors must find all eight Smellephant statues around Storybook Circus, using the stickers and map to track their progress.
Via a new Disney blog post, the first Smellephant has now arrived, and it’s popcorn-scented. Other fragrances to feature in the attraction include churro and cotton candy.
Earlier this month, Disney confirmed plans for “probably the largest expansion ever” at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
“It’s probably the largest expansion ever at Magic Kingdom,” said Michael Hundgen, Walt Disney World’s site portfolio executive, according to a report by CNN.
The project is named ‘Beyond Big Thunder’ because it will expand Magic Kingdom into a wooded area behind the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction.
The expansion would be a similar size to the 14-acre Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. A team from Disney is currently going on research trips and exploring concept designs for the expansion area.
The development is one part of Disney’s planned $60 billion investment in its parks and experiences over the next decade.
