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.
