Wow all the fun and happy people are out in force today.

You mean like when they built the place?

Or like everyone crying to expand instead of replacing the ROA?

Or how about when they built that road right around the place they are building now?

What is the common theme here? That everything disrupts the habitat and they have means in play to manage it... before, and now. The RoA is not a natural habitat.

True it wasn't, but after 50 some years became one in a sense.

Is that your general feeling about this change? I would think you would be against it.

I'm willing to see what they come up with. I don't think Disney has had a compelling attraction in this space for a long time so I'm not against change - just needs to be change for good.

Rode the Liberty Belle two trips back (2023) and went to Tom Sawyer Island the one before that (2022). Long before I knew what was coming- but I'm SO glad I did!

I’m on TSI right now, the influencer to guest ratio is 1:1.

'in a sense'? It's still a managed artificial pond - Treated and environmentally managed to do what the theme park needs of it. The place is surrounded by far more undisturbed and areas left to nature.

Next people will be complaining removing the steamboat will be contributing to global warming due to the power increases...

 

[monothingie]

The line for the barrel bridge is longer than TBA!

JK…Maybe?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Do you guys have any favorite details on the island, boat, or river route?

Mine is the fossils in the walls of the tunnels, and the gold in the walls in the part that's supposed to look like a mine shaft.

The smugglers cave you see from the riverboat.

It's just a static scene with a hidden speaker, but works so well at sparking your imagination and interest at what could be happening inside.

 

[JohnD]

In case you haven't noticed... there is still a giant swamp and forrest around the whole place.

Yeah. MK was built on top of the dirt dug out for SSL. Preserving the environment isn't a reason for saving ROA especially when MK land is coded as "Entertainment." Its about preserving Walt's legacy most of all.

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

So do we have any idea what's going to happen to the liberty Belle?

The plan has been to park it somewhere else on property, Grand Floridian is the last location I heard. I hope it finds a new home.

I haven't heard a whisper. I hope you're right.

Really hope that happens, don't want to be demolished. It's such a beautiful ship. Here's a free idea for Disney, turn it into a fireworks cruise on seven seas lagoon.

It’s not capable of freely navigating the water.

Here's another view we'll never see again.View attachment 868985

Perhaps, but is it impossible for them to add the ability for it to do that? Is there no way to modify it?

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

It’s not capable of freely navigating the water.

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible!

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Wow all the fun and happy people are out in force today.

Indeed! It’s great to see so many familiar faces on the island and riverboat. The poor train is getting overlooked! Haha.

But I agree - it’s a great time to be here and take it all in.

 

[Agent H]

I genuinely wonder if there are any creatives involved with this project who think it’s a good idea. It just seems utterly doomed to be remembered pretty universally as an indefensible mistake, something akin to the replacement of Imagination.

I don’t envy the position of the imagineers designing this. If I was in their place (forced to replace an important part of the parks basic framework. Forced to use an ip that doesn’t jive with the rest of the land) i would be under a lot of pressure.

I like the cave with the river pirates.

I suppose they could add a track that goes out into the lagoon and back...
