Tom Sawyer Island's Imminent Removal

[JohnD]

What news requires this thread?

If it was originally posted under "News", it's now under "General Discussion."

Actually, someone in the Cars thread was asking for the TSI discussion to be moved out, so that thread could be used only for construction updates. Would be nice for this thread to remain in News so that people can post pictures of destruction.

dont worry about everything being closed or refurbished.


In 7 years when disney is done with their slow construction it will be GREAT!!


sigh

It was my favorite section out of any Disney park TSI needed was some TLC and additions. Piston peak looks to have allot of similarities tho just not surrounded by a body of water. It looks like there going to be a fort as well and appears to be some animal pen there. I’m willing to give this one a chance. I think villains land on the other hand needs to be canceled and they should keep the other section of the island along with the bridge. It will also be good to have that section open all day where TSI closed.

Hmm, the thread seems to have been moved to General Discussion, but it still appears in the Rumors forum.

EDIT: I see. There is a little export icon indicating it has been moved. The thread remains there but does not rise to the top when new post are added. Makes sense. Now, if the OP called it "Tom Sawyer Island's Imminent Removal," maybe it'd still be in the News forum!

I’ll try this.

I could see another route they could have taken.

Me too. Why not get rid of Tomorrowland Speedway in favor of this?

(I know the answer)

Went over today…. Kinda sad shape in some places. Windmill closed. Water mill broken. Barrel bridge closed. No water features working.

Now we have the joy of waiting 3+ years of looking at walls telling us that 'we are enhancing your experience' - "huh"

The walls always have quotes from IPs (or Walt) on them now.

I would like to propose the following for these ones:

"Ain't no need to know where I'm going, just need to know where I've been!"

"Imagine what this place must've been like in its heyday!"

I feel bad for those of you who found these attractions memorable. Personally, I liked these attractions but they certainly weren't on my must-do list. So, I am excited to see what comes next. But I can understand why others might be sad.

Why? Is a cartoon or comic book themed carnival ride better?

We all enjoy different things. I'm not actually sure which attraction you are referring to, though.

Right…. What do you enjoy so I can feel bad for you too haha

I'm sorry if my comment offended you.

It didn’t. I’m having a muppet vision marathon tonight - about to close it down tonight!!!!

I think Pix legitimately felt bad for us as we lose a cherished ride. I didn't take it as "I feel bad for you, you pathetic loser. I'm glad I'm not you."

I can see how the post might have been meant that way.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. If that’s the case I totally misread that.

Of course, that's what I meant. I apologize if it was unclear. I was saying that, for me, these weren't beloved attractions but I can understand for others that this sucks.

Went over today…. Kinda sad shape in some places. Windmill closed. Water mill broken. Barrel bridge closed. No water features working.

Barrel Bridge was open when I was there on Sunday.

Something must have happened, or were you in that area near closing time?
TSI closes around 6pm.


Sorry you didn’t get to experience this.
It is one of the fun memorable things on the island.

You were perfectly clear.

Well Dis has anticipated the closure for a while so any feature that is not in shape or is failing to work right wasn’t going to be fixed since it would be a waste of time and money. But Dis takes forever to attend to any attraction needs anyway.
