Out with the clown and in with the new! Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a first look at the all-new Keister Coaster water slide design at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, featuring Mickey and friends in a style akin to the new animated shorts, similar to Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

(And yes, Keister is spelled wrong on this particular shot of the artwork.)

WDI posted the following caption with the image on their Instagram:

Oh boy! Here’s a sneak peek of our Disney Imagineers installing the new graphic design on the Keister Coaster slide at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort at @WaltDisneyWorld. When the slide reopens soon, guests will have the chance to see Mickey Mouse and his pals clowning around as they splash down into Luna Park Pool.

The slide is set to reopen “soon” after refurbishment at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. Sky-patterned scrims have been up at Luna Park Pool since removal began on the former clown facade. The official Walt Disney World website says that the pool, complete with waterslide, is expected to reopen “before the end of 2020,” though they add that dates are subject to change.

  1. I liked the idea of the clown, it was just WAAAAY too terrifying. I guess IP takes precedence over unique ideas at WDW now….
