Possible Frontierland expansion

[JoeCamel]

Thanks Marni..I knew I remembered that. Kinda glad they didn't go with the docking of the Liberty Belle...it provides needed motion/activity along with the rafts to TSI on ROA. Otherwise it would be a stagnant pond in Florida and we all know what that would end up looking like.

Yeah, you might end up with this...

It would’ve been docked due to the two large pedestrian bridges bisecting the island.

Thankfully it’s all gone south now.

Happy to hear that. If they want to develop Frontierland more (which I think they should at some point), they need to continuity the path to the north side of the ROA and use all that undeveloped land. Continue the path under the RR station and then build a bridge over the canal (not the ROA proper) - if you do a drawbridge there, you can still allow the canal to function so boats can go out to the Seven Seas Lagoon. Making a loop over to HM would be even better - great for guest flow.

One plan was to build a hard right turn under the railroad bridge (by the bathrooms) and push north / west from there around the top of Splash.

Probably never greenlit due to the loss of the Woody M&G right there

@marni what was the theme leaning to be for this kiddie coaster?

 

[Captain Neo]

That was one of the options. With partial fill or a bridge. And a kiddy coaster on TSI.

wasn’t a Lewis and Clark river raft ride under consideration too?

Now that Disney doesn't build non-IP attractions and primarily stick with newer IPs, I'm not sure which attractions they would build in a Frontierland expansion.

Well... if going into the Frontier is going "into the unknown".... I have a fantastic idea!!

Not that I know of.

Toy Story. Specifically a certain cowboy.

On May 5, 1805 it was considered and taken.

Not sure about WDW but it was meant to be at Disney's America.

One plan was to build a hard right turn under the railroad bridge (by the bathrooms) and push north / west from there around the top of Splash.

What was the plan to get around/over/under the BTM maintenance spur track?

The spur would either have been bridged / tunnelled (crossed was the term used) or the Splash bathrooms relocated.

I know it bombed in the box office and it’s a couple of years old but I loved The Lone Ranger.

Thankfully this did not happen!

Which then got turned into Grizzly River Run at DCA

How original.
