King of the World: 5th Gate: Spoonerville

The second Neighborhood in Toon Town would be Spoonerville. This one is a bit obscure, as it comes straight out of the Goof Troop TV show and movies. Goofy is classic, though, so I see no reason why he shouldn't have a land where he is the centerpiece.

As such, the first attraction would be Goofy's House, a walk-through like Mickey's and Minnie's houses, respectively. It would also be a meet-and greet for Goofy and his son from the show, Max.

The big weenie (as Walt would have called it) in this part of the park would be the Goofy's Candy Co. Factory. Goofy's Candy Co. is the Disney brand of candy that you can purchase throughout all of Walt Disney World (and all the other Disney parks, I would imagine) and so it would make sense that that candy is made somewhere. The attraction would be a dark ride tour of the factory and follow a storyline like the classic Goofy cartoons which "teach" people how to do various things (like play baseball or football). It could also feature homages to other classic candy scenes like from I Love Lucy or Willy Wonka. 

The second attraction in this Neighborhood would be Dippy Dog's Joust. Dippy Dog was Goofy's original name when he was first introduced. In one of his early cartoons, Dippy Dog had to face Mickey Mouse in a medieval confrontation for the love of Minnie Mouse. Carrying on that idea, this would be a "dueling" roller coaster as I call it. It would feature two tracks which eventually cross past each other like knights in the joust. 

And of course there would be food! It would be one quick-serve restaurant like a creamy stand from the northeast. One side would be food (like hot dogs and such) and the other side would have soft serve ice cream. You could call it Dippy's Dawgs and incorporate both the hot dog theme and the ice cream dip.

Last, but certainly not least, would be the Spoonerville Train Station accommodating Spoonerville and neighboring Mouseville.

This little corner of the park would celebrate the rich and varied history of Goofy, one of the Fab Five, and give families some thrills and humor. Accompany that with some good ol' American food and you have yourself a good time.
