Sorry, dry humor. I like the idea but it’s laughable on Disney’s part that they would ever attempt to build a ride like that today from the ground up.

Yeah, you're right. I was a bit naive in my enthusiasm at the idea and thought I could spark some kind of conversation about it in here. It doesn't feel like Disney would go above and beyond to make Western River Expedition "but with Woodys Round Up Gang". If that rumor of a Woody ride actually happened it would probably be some lackluster dark ride anyway.

Your Good! It's obvious there are superb ways to turn frontierland and BBT going with past incredible concepts.

I would unironically enjoy a RSR set in Canada where all the cars have Canadian accents.

Luigi can even be French instead of Italian to represent Quebec

Well since the UK is right around the corner perhaps a quick spin past the Queen and back. ;) those British accent cars could make a cameo.

At one point weren't there rumors about a rapids style ride for Canada hoping the rockwork would distract from Soarin'? That would still be an excellent fit for the Canadian Pavilion....which really could use something...THough I will sy, most of the pavilions really could use something....

I believe the problem here is space. In an alternate universe, we would have the Rhine river cruise, Mt. Fuji Coaster, and the Mary Poppins attraction in the UK.

As much as we don’t want to believe it, Epcot does not have a lot of expansion space. In order to even think about Rhine River cruise, we would have to lose Biergarten (which isn’t that much of a loss)…

The Biergarten was designed to co-exist with the Rhine River Cruise. Epcot has plenty of expansion space, it just didn’t anticipate the massive bloat in attraction size that has occurred with Disney.

According to official plans, that mural was indeed the entryway to the ride apparently. And the ride itself would have existed alongside the restaurant. I think they even began construction on the show building and finished part of that structure. They just never bothered to follow through. There is probably nothing stopping them from reviving the project if they wanted (they don't).

Honestly there is space... I dropped in the massive Small World show building for size comparison.... Now the Rhine River show building would have never been this big, but if they wanted to there is space there....It would take moving some things, but it could be done....and it would not affect the Biergarten...
