What is that? A tower for ants?

But seriously it’s nice to see a classic like this attraction being cared for and even updated tastefully. IP works, I like the placement and we didn’t lose anything important.

Guess that rumour / theory checked out!

Can anyone more intelligent than me figure out what was in this spot previously, if anything?

One of the Duckzilla’s homes.

Just a rock wall.

Looks like they cut into it in the center.

Someone from the Tianas Bayou Adventure team snuck onto this project…

Oh no. They didn’t go and add these signs everywhere did they?

Hoping the real grass on this attraction survived this update.

Reminds of the Stonehenge scene from a certain movie …..

What were all you’re opinions when they replaced the old mill with the frozen castle?

Don't know about then, but I think it works better than the old mill when looking at it as a whole now. It was done tactfully, and used an underutilized space. The only thing the old mill had going for it was history. I'm certain 95+% of people riding it in 2025 don't know what The Old Mill is, while 95+% have at least heard of Frozen.

Was never a fan of a classic Walt cartoon being replaced by a modern CGI cartoon, and always felt it was done due to the major hype of the movie at that time. As wityblack said, it was at least done tastefully and isn't an eye sore.

I remember when I rode it a year or two ago and someone asked the CM on the boat what was there before and she didn't even know. I had to step in and explain.

On a trip I made in 2014, which was the only trip I ever took my DSLR camera on, I snapped a pic of one of the windmills. Little did I know they were going to rip it out later that year.

I have a lot of shots from that trip of things that don't exist anymore at the resort. Wild to think of as it was only 11 years ago.

Yeah same here. It bothered me in principle but because the Storybookland Canal boats wasn’t something I rode often back then ( maybe 2-3 times my whole life tops) it didn’t bother me as much as it probably would have today. Seeing Frozen there didn’t seem odd or out of place as not only was it done tastefully but as I said I had only been on it a couple times. For me nearly everything left (other than maybe Aladdin and Mermaid) should be untouchable but Cinderella, Snow White and Pinocchio are at the top of that list.
