One machine has Rapunzel from the movie Tangled and the other machine has Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph.

The rest of the new designs were located at Magic Kingdom. All of the 50th Anniversary designs at this park have now been replaced except for the 4-die Main Street Railroad machine and the 3-die machine near Splashdown Photos Restrooms.

The second 8-die Emporium machine and the 8-die machine located in the Hall of Champions were brought back with each having four new 100 Years of Wonder designs.

Unexpected Characters On New Design
 
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023
 
 

There was one new 100 Years of Wonder design that we weren't expecting to see. It was a new design in a machine at Animal Kingdom outside of Discovery Trading Company. This design had two different characters that we have never seen before at Disney World which we also don't normally think of being associated with Walt Disney World. The characters are Sid and Scrat from the movies Ice Age. Blue Sky Studios the creators of Ice Age was a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox which Disney acquired in March 2019. Disney has shut down Blue Sky Studios and it is unknown what will become of the characters Sid and Scrat or any of the other characters from Ice Age. Another popular movie by Blue Sky Studios was Rio so we are wondering if there will be any characters from that movie as part of the 100 Years of Wonder celebration.
