Especially with all the cutbacks they have been placing on the Fantasyland Expansion: Pixie Hollow and the Dumbo area are on the chopping block and many of the Princess Meet & Greets are right behind them. The only thing that is set in stone is The Little Mermaid attraction and (I think) the Beauty and The Beast area.
Do you know if the Little Mermaid attraction will be the same as what they are currently building out at DCA?

Do you think this has anything to do with the accident that happened at the TTC last year?

There is a good chance. It seems like the placement is being dictated by what has transpired.

Clones except for the outside and possibly the length of track used at one or the other.

Doubt it. Monorails have been having problems since before 2000. The most logical place to put something like they mentioned would be the TTC.

I'm a bit doubtful of that too. I think it has to deal with the amount of down time the monorails have when one goes down on the EPCOT line. It takes about 45 minutes to get a work tractor from the shop switched onto the EPCOT beam. Also from what I have heard there have been enough issues with monorails breaking down on the EPCOT line as of recent. Keep in mind these are just rumors.
