My dream for this project would be for them to build another actual mountain, to restore the park to three named mountains since Splash is now just a "bayou" with a mound. It would also be really neat to get another visual icon for the park on that side of the park. Something where the ride makes up the entire facade like Matterhorn bobsleds, big thunder, space mountain, etc. The new space mountain in Tokyo is the only indication that Imagineering is still willing to be given a budget large enough not to rely on a square box but then again that's OLC funding so who knows? The big boxes just arent cutting it for me anymore (not like they ever really were tbh though).

Isn't this what Cars is going to be? there can't be any big boxes since it's going right where the river is.

definitely not a mountain or any "icon" worthy structure anywhere in the concept art at least to my eye. Also important to remember this is already right next to Big Thunder which has an unassumingly tall peak.

The closest we're getting to a new mountain

It doesn’t seem like a big enough plot of land to fit that structure with Big Thunder off in the distance in the background. I hope they don’t end up building a 30-foot tall “mountain” using forced perspective. It wouldn’t be believable since you can walk around this entire area.

I am curious about how the How to Train Your Dragon mountain looks from the ground above the Mead Hall. The Cars mountain range will probably be something like that. Cars is definitely the closest we're getting to a themed non-showbuilding attraction in a long time, since Seven Dwarfs Mine Train?

I think @Drew the Disney Dude really made a good point. You can’t exactly have show buildings in this area. Can they deliver on aesthetics and a thrilling ride?

Yep, and that's why I don't understand the comments about Tomorrowland Speedway. A replacement must be flat to prevent a show building from blocking TRON and Storybook Circus.

Based on the concept art we’re getting potential waterfalls as well.

If they can somehow deliver even half of what they showed in the actual aesthetics of the land I would be a very happy camper.

Waterfalls, geysers and mudholes! Lots of potential here for sure.

Trying to stay on the Moana topic a bit better but I think this idea would better as an expansion for DAK, even after Tropical Americas it's still gonna need some help and while Moana doesn't perfectly fit DAKs theme it could work with the idea of the conversation of the islands and the returning to the world as animals. If they were to add a Moana ride and Lion King ride to DAK it would help that park tremendously. MK doesn't need it, they already have all the other expansions coming and it's been the most visited park on earth for years.

potential....does not me for sure this is what we are getting....Mary Poppins was potentially a great new addition to Epcot.... that didn't happen either. There is lots of potrential for so many things that would actually fit the theme of the area.... we are not getting those either... I guess until we see the actual renderings, not basic concept, we will just have to suppose this will be value engineered like most of the other projects.....

They'll shrink your car as you go up the hill to keep the forced perspective.

Just like they do with the train outside Expedition Everest as it heads up to the mountain's peak!
