Will Piston Peak explain why combustible engine automobiles venerate nature and the natural parks? Or do they keep them around as they existed before they killed at the humans?

I don’t think it’s “fake” so much as over-exaggerated.
Only time will tell if it’s fake or over-exaggerated. I hope the end up with a river front like is in the fun map.

If we get a couple of water features in the end product, is the fun map fake or over-exaggerated?

I guess it really doesn’t matter, we are going to get what we get - see World Celebrations gardens planter and forever broken in ground lighting.

I had a chance to visit DCA recently. In my view Cars Land and Grizzly Peak areas are two of the best themed in any Disney park. I’m still dismayed at this project but if they combine the best parts of those lands into one land that’s not a bad thing.

If WDW’s carsland could get anywhere near the detail and theme that of the DCA carsland that would be great!

Only time will tell. I am not optimistic. I hope I am wrong and everyone can reply to this post 3 to 5 years from now.

Exactly my thoughts.

Those two lands (with Buena Vista Street) are doing so much heavy lifting with making that park thematically coherent.

The choice of IP for this project is unsettling to say the least. But there is a glimmer of hope that the best bits of Grizzly Peak and its' surrounding rock work (looking at you, gorgeous waterfall adjacent to Avengers Campus) will make this a unique Frontierland.

Still doesn't justify the removal of the RoA.

The plan until late in the game was to build Villains, Coco, AND keep RoA. The idea that the Rivers had to go for Villains is not true.
From my understanding there seem to be some attempts to rewrite history going on here.

Unfortunately there were a bunch of fake insiders leading up to that event. Mostly grifting off of Disney’s own 2022 showcase. I don’t think it was decided on late in the game. At least six months before D23 and worked on a good year before.

Even the one being quoted I’m skeptical of. My track record of getting things right for D23 that were actually not previously mentioned at the prior conference was higher and I literally knew nothing and educated guess like the best of them.

I include myself in this, I just didn’t want to listen to the very few people who actually knew when it came to Cars. Because it sounded worse.

Which “fake insiders” are you referring to, because I’m usually pretty discerning and remember the reports coming from folks with a proven track record of record.

Everyone who isn’t Martin (non participatory), Len or Steve. Yensidtlaw on the Disneyland side. One or two posters (whoever was big thunder, Haunted Mansion with respect to Lakeshore lodge) seem to have a contact or are near a specific project or partner that wouldn’t apply necessarily to WDI writ large.

Then, to my chagrin, Braydon externally. Who was talking about this Cars project for a while.

If anyone else had a verifiable new piece of information that wasn’t formerly floated by Disney, revealed at D23 or the last 24 months, I’m at a loss.
