Judging from the concept art it would have been an instant classic.

Western River would have been another Marc Davis classic. It would be talked about among other classics like Haunted Mansion.

I’m still holding out hope that Splash can be saved. I’d rather keep that and build an attraction where it needs it.
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind if only Disneyland gets it, because it fits and their splash is a lesser version. And equally important Tiana actually fits with the New Orleans area.

Both have their better versions of the same rides. For instance Disneyland's Pirates is far superior. Because it is longer and has more animatronics than Disney World's.
The same can be said for their Tower of Terror (which is gone) and Splash Mountain. They are shorter and more inferior versions of Florida's more developed versions.

I agree that Florida’s version is better show-wise, but DL still has a better lift hill, facade, and music.
It's all good, we don't have to agree on everything. You can love whatever you want my friend.

Nope, my friends. It feels like there is no hope to keep it, with the world we now live in. We probably should just get used to it. Disney only will change their ways when it hits them in the wallet.
LOL, I'd like it if we could at least try to stop these people from ruining things. How long until Big Thunder gets changed? They would have probably done a retheme already if Lone Ranger wasn't such a turd.

Disney’s new way of thinking (Equity???) has them bending over… backwards for anyone of color. Even if they are an animated character. They also sometimes are willing to swap out ones that aren’t. With little regard to what the story is based on (Disney’s Little Mermaid).
And before someone tries to say… “but… but they changed the character from the book”. Yes they did.. and they created a new version that is very different and unlike in the book she actually has a name. The main problem is they aren’t saying this is a new version, they are saying this is Ariel. They are even taking Scuttle and making him an Asian female.
Check those boxes off Disney.

Another concept that didn't make it off the drawing board. If it actually got built it could really help with the crowds. Because once Tron opens Tomorrowland is going to be crazy. And Frontierland will become a ghost town until Tiana shows up.

Oooooo..... oooooo Geyser Tower.
Sounds pretty cool, I'm getting Earthquake and USH Backlot Tour vibes. When I think of the idea about the flooding water. I can tell why they didn't do it, sounds like fun, but also a pain in the to operate.

Tower of Terror, but western themed. You bet your I'll take it. It could always be apart of the Western River mountain range. Because the original plans had multiple attractions that would have been in this area. The only reason it didn't happen is because people wanted a Magic Kingdom version of Pirates and they were flabbergasted when they didn't see one on opening day.
You can see why people were P'd off, Pirates is one of the mainstays. Which most Disney parks should have like Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain. Even if they are under different pseudonyms like in France.

Even though Geyser wouldn't have an IP attached to it. It would be a linemaker. Look at how popular old Big Thunder is! People love going on it during and right after the fireworks.

Disneyland Paris almost got it too, which is too bad it didn't. With a lack of a Splash Mountain or Tiana's Mountain it could use it. Overall it has the best Frontierland out of all the parks when it comes to aesthetics though. They definitely took their time with that one.

All depends on whether people would see it as just a retread of Tower of Terror. You know the saying "Same poop different smell".

You could really say that about any ride. Dark rides, boat rides, aerial carousels, omnimovers, etc.
