I think a similar mindset of Tron Mountain adjacent to Space MountainWoof. That’s just sick and sad, IM(not humble)O.
And now, looking at that, it brings another question to my mind…how is Piston Peak gonna’ play against Big Thunder Mountain, visually…?
Two “peaks” that close together…?!
Is there some hypothetical condition that it might make sense to compare 2 separate businesses, on two separate continents about? Possibly,. But who cares. We aren't talking about hypotheticals. We are talking about how one park, is going to use a particular piece of the property that it has, unique to its park. How its customers (not any other parks) are currently utilizing that particular piece of property, and how WDW can project that its customers we better utizlies that particular piece of property. That discussion is all fact centric, and based upon the fact in WDW, not anywhere else.
These decisions happen well above park VP level. Sarah wasn’t even at MK when this decision was made.
What level do they happen at?
No one’s arguing that WDW should ignore its own data. But projections aren’t “fact-only” by definition, they’re interpretations. Using relevant comparisons isn’t hypothetical hand-waving; it’s how you test assumptions and avoid treating WDW as if it exists in a vacuum. The decision is WDW-specific, but informed context still matters.
I'm not entirely sure, but the more recent art makes it look like the exterior-facing portion of Piston Peak will be dominated by terraced cascades that potentially make it look like less of a competing peak on approach from Liberty Square. That said, the original art had a singular "piston" in a more prominent position than the lower, more discreet smattering of "pistons" shown later. Unless we get a model in the near future, we'll just have to see how the rockwork shapes up.how is Piston Peak gonna’ play against Big Thunder Mountain, visually…?

Nevermind initial BEYOND (Idk if I'll ever get over that) concept art shows BTMR remaining as undisputed, dominant landmark.
It's definitely possible, but it bears repeating that the whole reason Piston Peak is laid out as proposed is due to an attempt to hide the Cars elements from elsewhere in Liberty Square and Frontierland. The fear that they will not be successful in doing so is valid and warranted, but the intention is at least very clearly the opposite.
Getting people to stay on topic here and not go off on tangents is about as easy as getting pixie dusters to stop saying "soooooooo magical".
This implies that that pixie dusters are more common on here than the constant complaints lol
Might be time to start a new new Construction-Only thread?
A lot of them think just because people like things or see Disney's POV on something and agrees with it (maybe not completely, but still agrees with most) that they are pixie dusters lol.
Imagine the nerve of people liking things at Disney!
HAH! I always thought that's what we're all here for!
What I love about this site is that so many members have both researched the parks extensively and have a long history of visits to the various parks and resorts world wide.
