I wouldn’t go that far. It’s basically becoming another IOA or USF.

MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

If Magic Kingdom couldn’t be considered better than Six Flags without the river, then it was never better. If the removal of one single element knocks it down that level, then that is damning indictment of the whole park.
Which is to say MK has a long way to go before it falls to that level.
If they follow what we saw in the concept art, walking around Liberty Square/Frontierland will have a beautified view of natural wonder and waterfront compared to the current swamp and trees.
And if you don't like the Cars integration, just stick to the perimeter of frontierland and pretend the attraction in the middle doesn't exist like the vast majority of people do now
Acting like this is the decision that downgrades the Magic Kingdom to a Six Flags or Mish Mash of the Universal parks is a little dramatic.

I don’t give a rats bloated behind what anybody thinks, getting rid of ROA/TSI still pi$$es me off.
Myself, my wife, our three kids, SonIL and or two young granddaughters took trips to WDW in Oct. of ‘23 and June/July of ‘24.
We all rode the Liberty Belle in ‘23 and all took the raft to TSI in ‘24. Our granddaughters loved both.
We’ve done one or the other, or both, on every trip. What a shame.
Nothin’ says old west frontier like modern off-road racing. Good grief.

There is a good chance you might like it and be able to make further memories.

Let’s just say we have no plans to return anytime in the near future. Instead, we have two cruises and a trip to Europe coming up over the next coupla’ years.
Our first of the two cruises (week-long, non-Disney) starts on the 28th of this month.
And, crap like that is a large part of the reason.

Just like Muppets - there is no chance that I will personally be able to experience and enjoy the new attractions with my mom - she won’t want to ride a muppets coaster, door coaster, or cars ride.
One of the big wins of the Avatar land is it looks great AND provides a great attraction that is accessible to almost all guests.
If the monsters inc. show happens and is good - there would at least be that.

Believe me, we’ll make plenty of GREAT memories on the two cruises and the trip to Europe…!!!!!
IDK....Is there any way the Liberty Belle could be used as a Ferryboat? Or Move it to DHS F!??????

No on both counts, unfortunately. What I’m hearing and what seems most likely is that she will be used for spare parts to support the other steamboats TWDC operates (TDR, DLR, DLP kind of). She does have a new boiler after all.

Wow, thanks for these!
The environment and atmosphere go a long way toward fleshing out this area of the park, easily transporting Guests to another time and place.
I don’t think it’s fully understood what will be lost.
Darn it ! It looked so Good on a YT Stream this Morning! That will be hard to Lose for Me!

In my opinion this change is Disney's need to IPee all over everything they can, and also about selling LLs

Probably. There is ZERO heart behind this.
I had started to soften my stance on this until I perused the other boards and reminded myself of the last few years of Disney decisions, namely what they did to Splash Mountain and Epcot.
This isn’t going to end well and it will further lower the standard.

I have been a big advocate of alternating vaccinations between Disney and actually seeing the world and new things.
I’m actually moving to Florida in a few days and will live like half an hour away from MK so WDW will become a place to go on the weekends for my family which opens us up for more non-Disney vacations.

Not dramatic at all. It’s not just the RoA, and it’s not just MK. It’s a collective amount of decisions across MK, HS, and Epcot that are making the parks interchangeable and less and less thematically unique. That doesn’t make them six flags level (that is to me, dramatic) but yes, makes it closer to the Universal model pre-Epic; just the IP flavor of the month and wherever they can throw it. Don’t get me wrong, IoA is still a good to great theme park, and USF has been a good park as well in times past. But Disney can, and used to do better.If they follow what we saw in the concept art, walking around Liberty Square/Frontierland will have a beautified view of natural wonder and waterfront compared to the current swamp and trees.

No, but this is a Disney fan forum where people can and should express their opinions and yes, that includes frustration.

I have nothing against expressing frustrations or criticisms of Disney. The post was just so passionate that I was legitimately curious if it was a final straw moment.
