MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

[JD80]

Doesn't Len always mention that you never remove plumbing/toilets?

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

I would much prefer they go this route so that Villains Land can be an extension of Fantasyland. Couldn't they theme the pathway to a dark forest, or even construct an indoor entryway through said forest?

 

[FigmentFan82]

I doubt that they would go this route. I’m guessing it was spitballing what was being talked about.

 

[walt7204]

Id imagine if they go this route they would make a tunnel like galaxies edge. Dark forest or dark tunnel to the underworld, hades themed. Easy enough to come up with an option that makes sense. Might actually be way easier thematically to do.

 

[Ayla]

I was thinking a tunnel of some sort or something enclosed to hide the show buildings surrounding it, but then if you come back out into bright sunshine, that makes zero sense.

So, I don't know.

well...that is the Emergency Vehicle access point, so using that would be a no-go. I always imagined the entrance to the Villain's land would be through some sort of a cave ...or if going directly from Frontierland, an abandoned mine shaft.... It would definitely need some sort of portal like they did for the entrance to SWGE...just a much more beautiful version with music and maybe some effects lighting like they did at Epic Universe... As if during the construction of Piston Peak, they discovered a cavern that was a portal to the Villain's lair... It would be nice if there was a great transition point...

Every two weeks (or so)

The new terms are tweekly for twice a week and twokly for every two weeks.

(At least according to Aussie comedian Bec Hill)

BlogMickey reports that Big Al’s, Westward Ho, the churro cart, and the boardwalk are rumored to go behind walls in the future as construction expands.

Yeah that is correct. Surprised it didn't happen already.

Hopefully they're also replacing the red-grid concrete there with the themed paving to match what they're doing in front of BTM and what they did in front of the DVC lounge.

I’d wager that entire main artery gets new pavement when all is said and done

well...that is the Emergency Vehicle access point, so using that would be a no-go.

A variety of options are available if there was a true desire to use the area. Access routes can be moved or a tunnel could be designed to provide the vehicle access. Even egress from the adjacent rides could be accommodated by providing horizontal exits.

From today..

They can't run the parades if they do this though correct?

Shouldn’t be an issue.

Looks like we might have a rough overlay of the structures coming to Piston Peak and Villains Land

What do we think the small building behind the HM queue is? As anticipated, there seems to be a large attraction building further north.

The large show building for Villains seems to be much closer to the center rather than behind HM/IASW (which I was expecting)
