The percentage of guests that use the walkway is irrelevant honestly. I’ve seen it said here that only 10% of guests experience space mountain. Does that mean it should also be replaced? What ago it the walkway at Epcot that goes from Canada towards imagination? Should that be removed as well if...

This has broken something inside of me as well. Disney crossed an invisible line with me that I never even knew existed. And I’m honestly shocked by how I feel about it because I’ve never reacted this strongly to an announcement about a closure. I’ve always mostly felt excited for what’s to come...

That first sentence is completely untrue. People use that boardwalk to get to Thunder Mountain/Tiana’s because it’s a bit of a shortcut. Any time I’ve been on it, there’s been crowds to navigate. I’m not trying ti argue which river is better, just point out that you can’t just post pictures from...

Comparing the river to the castle moat or Jungle Cruise is honestly ridiculous. The moat barely exists anymore and only people riding jungle cruise gets to experience it. Everyone walking through Frontierland/Liberty Square can see and enjoy the river. As for Echo Lake, while it may be a...

But there are other ways. They don’t have to sacrifice the river, or at least not the entire river. They could get rid of the speedway. SGE still sits empty. They have space behind the park. There are other options they could have explored that don’t eliminate RoA. Grizzly Peak is a beautiful...

With respect, you have no idea that the new area will be even more beautiful. And that still wouldn’t change the fact that it could go somewhere else. We could have had a unique area *somewhere else. I wish that I could be excited about this project like unfortunately so many are, but I just...

So because it’s “not as aesthetically pleasing” as Disneyland’s, that means it has to go? If Disney wanted to save the river, they could. Aren’t the imagineers supposed to be the best in the business? Are we really supposed to believe they couldn’t come up with some sort of solution, even to...

Honestly, as disappointing as it would be to have the train close *again for an extended period of time, I’d happily take another closure if it meant they could preserve part of the river. If there are all these ponds, streams, and waterfalls supposedly planned for the area, why did they...

Yeah…I can’t imagine they’d want the inevitable media backlash if they announced they were closing HOP when there’s a possibility of the first woman president. Especially not when it’s easily avoidable.

Well by that logic, let’s just pave over world showcase lagoon as well. Who cares about theming but at least you can walk straight from future world to any of the other countries in world showcase.

And you know that how?

Of course there are differences. But that doesn’t mean that they couldn’t have figured out some sort of solution to make it work.

If they were able to find a way to make it work at Disneyland with Galaxy’s Edge, they could have figured it out for WDW too.

But they could put the Cars ride somewhere else on property and he would enjoy it just as much as if it were in Frontierland. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. That way, the people can still enjoy RoA AND new lands. People in this thread have proposed their own ideas that keep the front...

I mean, that’s great that your son is excited. But wouldn’t he be just as excited if they put this area somewhere else and kept the river?
