MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[Squishy]

Its a temporary dam. I think they have figured how to remove a riverboat every time they drain ROA. Except this is the last time doing it.

Right but it wouldn't make sense to put it up a week before the closure knowing they gotta remove the riverboat, I believe they docked it right before the locks and are going to take it apart piece by piece using the crane thats onsite for BTM construction.

Ok, good on them getting everything already up, etc , but this doorway does look a little funny on its own

I fear that's going to be an unintended Instagram hangout spot.

It looks like its in front of a short wall. But its the walkway from where guests disembarked LB. One on each side.

@Squishy , "The Liberty Belle, which previously offered scenic tours around the Rivers of America, has been moved backstage to the marina and is no longer visible from guest areas."

Rest in Peace Tom Sawyer’s Island and Rivers of America. Can’t say I’ll miss Tom Sawyer’s very much and the improvements made to the Piston Peak concept looks like they will retain some of the beauty of the rivers.

In the long run, granted they keep some of the beauty of the rivers with the new piston peak area this in my opinion is for the better. Time will tell, but I am hopeful.

EDIT: Hope they move the Liberty Belle someplace and preserve it.

Magic Kingdom Monsters Inc Door Coaster Confirmed for Frontier Land!

 

[Kamikaze]

We had our last ride on the Lilly Belle and visit to TSI in June...TSI was very sad... None of the streams and waterways were running, the old mill was static, the wind mill was closed... The fort however looked amazing with everything working... Oddly the cave, mine, and escape tunnel all had cool white light bulbs in the fixtures that looked terrible... Sad to see it all in disrepair as a last look... I hope people remember it as fondly as I do...as a kid running up the hill and exploring every inch of it... It was one of my very favorite things... We will never have that kind of space again...

Did ya? Because that's not a boat that ever was at WDW. Its hard to take the waxing poetic seriously when you don't even know the name of the boat.

I would hope that's extremely temporary.

 

[Incomudro]

It's the sense of space and setback that is going to be very important.
Can and will Disney pull that off?

@wdwmagic Do you know if it moved to the dock behind BTM or across seven seas & bay lake already to the dock by central shops?

In past smaller refurbishments they would store it temporarily here:

yes I know, I made a mistake.

 

[Charlie The Chatbox Ghost]

Knowing Disney they’ll chop it up and offer the pieces for sale for $$$. The cupcake brigade and duster squad will line up for that.

Reminds me of when they sold chunks of the MuppetVision Balloon as a limited-edition pin or something like that. Get a splinter of the Liberty Belle for $79.99 plus tax!

It would be more appropriate than Cars since Monsters Inc can just be walking through a door into a western saloon and doing whatever IP nonsense from there with Mike and Sulley.

Lilly Belle / Liberty Belle is a very easy mistake when typing on a fan forum. Especially when they even swap whistles!

So is Villains going beyond Big Thunder outside the berm or the back half of RoA? I was holding out for a Thunder Mesa type experience that leveraged the Riverboat (renamed back to Richard F. Irvine) that connects the riverboat more to a Frontierland storyline like DLP. Then using the Riverboat for a re-located Fantasmic that would be part of Villain Land. Pretty amazing compromise if you ask me. It doesn't seem like they are re-located any WDWRR track at ALL.
