MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

[MisterPenguin]

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

The new lands are going to be nothing but themed restroom facilities!!!

 

[Stripes]

One of the facilities is on top of the railroad track and extends beyond it.

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

Yes, my limited understanding is that area would not work because of fireworks fallout.

Of course I could be wrong still…. A coaster could go in that area?

One of the facilities is on top of the railroad track and extends beyond it.

yes…. Will be very interesting how this ends up being addressed. Im hoping the railroad is incorporated into the land somehow.

What is the definition of a facility in reference to these drawings? Does it have to be a show building or can it be a drainage facility?

I'm suspecting those aren't the actual buildings. They don't look right for Piston, crossing over the RR, and leaving a huge plaza in villains. Maybe place markings for utilities?

From my understanding, the facilities in this drawing are all structures that will have a connection to the new wastewater system (green line) shown throughout the plan. There are also 21 new manhole covers that are part of this system.

I did some rough measuring of the main three facilities:

Large Villains “building”: ~70,000sqft
Second Villains “building”: ~48,000sqft
Cars Land “building”: ~40,000sqft


Also, don’t read too much into the position of the railroad tracks in this drawing. Since this plan is solely for the wastewater system and its connection into new structures, no other changes are depicted - it’s simply overlayed onto an “existing conditions” MK plan from before construction started.

This MK expansion is beyond exciting! WDW has done plenty over the years to warrant legitimate complaints, but I have a feeling that Villains land is going to be phenomenal! Fingers crossed.

 

[Spectro shire]

Today’s Disney Dish speculated that some of the HM permit work may be signaling that the entrance to Villains Land may go in the area where the Tangled restrooms are located, and not around near Piston Peak (would also mean a reconfiguration of the HM queue).

That would be a nightmare for crowds

Some comparisons:

Cosmic Rewind: ~197,000 sq ft (EPCOT – largest ride building at WDW)
Rise of the Resistance: ~92,000 sq ft
DINOSAUR: ~85,000 sq ft
Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster: ~71,000 sq ft

So the spot next to HM is marked facility. That’s surprising. I just assumed there would be an extended queue there. But these plans make me think otherwise.

PLEASE BE A HAUNTED MANSION RESTURAUNT

Or moving Memento Mori's to a new location from its current location which is basically a step into small hut.

Everything is marked 'facility.'

 

[mattpeto]

The facility to the Northwest still gives me hope of a unique nighttime offering. And hopefully a train station is coming!

It’s just interesting because this was originally around where the restaurant would have went. I’m sure it’s unlikely at this point, though.

I think expecting a parlour at Magic Kingdom is unlikely, but a proper sitdown could be in the cards.

I really don't think they want people running back and forth from lounge to lounge at MK.

The cruise parlor is making serious money for them. It wouldn’t be a hard sell for imagineering to add one.

 

[Bocabear]

if these are literally the sizes of the buildings, it would be a lot less than I think we are hoping for..but this is most likely not based on the actual building footprints...but areas for wastewater... perhaps... Maybe it is retention ponds or water feature areas...

 

[ToTBellHop]

They could easily extend the WDWRR behind these buildings.
