MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[Ayla]

Yeah but let's say Splash Mountain opened with Magic Kingdom in 1971, maybe they'd build Space Mountain more to the side and worked imagineering ways to hide it best they can although then wouldn't the castle count as nothing to do with Splash. Also didn't Space Mountain also not open with the park in 1971?

No, it opened in 1977.

Very good point! Though Space Mountain kinda throws the idea out lol. The view wasn’t intended to fit the ride 100%, it’s just a happy accident that it works so well. Didn’t even think of the river boat being visible from the top.

For the Fact that this iconic view with the Riverboat Backdrop Folklore and Splash Mountain was never built or anything to do with Tiana, inspiration, Louisiana, Princess and The Frog is a Gift in itself and now that it fits more than ever they want to remove elements for another IP environment! That is mind boggling to me.

Thanks for the correction.

Standing there over the bridge with Happily Ever starting with Tiana singing, it's a starry ️ evening it's the closest Princess and the Frog true Disney you would get

Especially since Tiana's Bayou Adventure otherwise has basically nothing to do with The Princess and the Frog.

Haven't read this thread in a long 500 pages time, this project is still not canceled? Not even a rumor of it being canceled? Sad.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I'll take a large 10pc nugget meal with coke, keep the race cars.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Actually this is a Wendy Darling's. You have to believe.

The sooner they begin work on the Cars attractions the better. At least closure for some can begin.

There's only a second star to the right from the castle, not an artificial cheapskate Planes Peak!

Exciting!!!!

Exciting!!!!

Exciting because current management isn’t capable of seeing this is the dumbest thing they could do? Exciting because it rips the heart out of the park? Exciting because it furthers their destruction of the American history aspect of the park?

Not all of us are so pessimistic and some of us really want to see what is planned here. I’m sorry but I’m definitely not calling ROA, the “heart of the park”. And I don’t consider it an important part of learning about American history or anything. It’s a river. It represents some things but that’s not the main focus

NearMap is due to update sometime soon. As soon as it does, I’ll post some screenshots. Now that projects are starting, I’ll try and update more often.

I went on the Liberty Belle yesterday for the first time.

I loved the experience but I see why it is being eliminated. A lot of the material is a more out of date view of American history that the Disney company is trying to eliminate at the parks.

In addition Adventureland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are packed with crowds during most hours of the day and Frontierland (aside from Tiana's and BTMRR) is really not helping with crowd distribution. The thought is that having 2 new attractions (including a major Cars attraction) crowds will be more evenly distributed around the park.

Disneyland doesn't have the same issue with their ROA as their Galaxy's Edge is on the other side of their ROA so the crowds there generally are already more evenly distributed.

That being said the vibe, especially at night, is amazing with the current River / Riverboat combo.

It really kills the vibe of it being a magic kingdom, place with a river and boat going who knows where, place you can hang out at. Removes the scenery and staging. Adding cars makes it seem more amusement park.
