Technically they could be for Villians and not cars. But that seems like .01% chance.

Disney absolutely does not want an excuse to cancel, they WANT to destroy RoA!
Many, including me, want them to cancel, hoping the current environment would force them to cancel it.
Even if it takes them 5 to 7 years to complete it, I think they will do it, because THEY WANT to do it!

All your memes you tend to share, can you share one of someone beating a dead horse?
EDIT - might be more appropiate meme for you.
"Alternatives to "beating a dead horse" include phrases like "flogging a dead horse," "spinning your wheels," or "barking up the wrong tree."
Any of them will work.

Please stop posting the same comments. At this point it is just distracting from what should be a useful thread.

You know what's funny?
Aren't supposed to say that anymore. Super offensive. It is "feeding a fed horse."

Yes, I totally agree.Aren't supposed to say that anymore. Super offensive. It is "feeding a fed horse."
I included some alternatives as options in my edit.

I think there are four camps of people:
1) They hate the eradication of RoA, TSI and the Riverboat
2) They hate the Cars IP being used at MK and specifically there
3) They hate both notions.
4) They are open to change
I'd put myself in #4, but with the caveat, they have to execute properly.
Like some have suggested, it sounds like Disney is committed to removing the Rivers for several reasons (costs to maintain #1)
They can't exactly put massive showbuildings in this space. For the record, Cars wouldn't be my first IP either. I don't know what they could have used.
I'm trying to remain open minded to wait to see the end results. If they can pull off the aesthetics and good attractions that draw more guests than TSI/Riverboat, it can be a net win.
They have to avoid a huge swing and miss. They can't screw this up. Nobody will forgive them for destroying RoA if it's not worth it.

Please enforce this. Some threads are unreadable.

These categories make sense. I'm in #1, as are many. I'd really like to be in #4, but I know what's to come will be an aesthetic atrocity.
If I had a dime for every time we've said, "they can't screw this up... nobody will forgive them..."
SW:GE, GotG:CR, TBA? They screwed it up; we forgave them.

What I don’t get is why here but not at DL. If it’s supposedly a nightmare to maintain and not a LL revenue machine here, it should be in the bullseye in Cali as well. Why does MK and by extension WDW always seem to get shafted whenever it comes to reskins > actual new attractions, thematic cohesion, and so on? WDW should be the pinnacle of the Disney mountain

Only TBA is somewhat comparable, and on a much smaller scale. People weren’t that protective of Ellen’s or the southwest corner of HS.

I'd maybe add a 5th option.
5) They hate the idea when there's open spots that could be used first.
I'd put myself in that option.

Respect the perspective, but disagree with your list.
Epcot spine - I can get behind that
I guess if you’re looking at it from that perspective, Disneyland’s river has Fantasmic, which has a dining package.

So nobody loves the idea of this cars ride being added to MK?

So, why isn't this for the nearby laydown yards and water treatment system?

I’m sure some do, but probably even the least discerning of people who would bother to sign up for a WDW forum have a sense that it’s not a great fit for Frontierland. Even the Imagineers know it, hence the visual blockade around it.

I’m in this camp.
Also people need to stop using the Epcot spine as an excuse to hate on this project. That happened during Covid under different leadership.
They absolutely need to have show buildings for the major E ticket at least.
Funny how DLP gets mentioned several times on this thread because it’s gotten a little investment the last 5-7 years.
It was literally neglected for decades and bleeding money which was the complete opposite situation of WDW.
I can only hope for the best outcome for this “Frontierland” expansion. Disney needs to hit it out of the park or else.

I only found the PDF @wdwmagic mentioned on the Comptroller's website. Where is the mention of a "Cars-themed Land"? I think it was @wdwmagic who came up with that?So does this mean we can stop arguing over the name?
Cars-themed Land it is.
