Why would they want a 5th park when they can't handle what they have?If they got rid of Ft. Wilderness there is plenty of room for a 5th park / boutique park and many hotels and dvc.

So now I'm thinking, I wonder what the profit margin % of The Fort is compared to the other resorts.

$100 a night for a plot of ground with no hookups? I would open a thousand site place on reflections if I were them and only cared about the money

Tent site for $100. There is of course power and lots of grounds to upkeep, etc. But still, it has to be high right?

A new resort and the Wilderness Junction addition would be great... Properly lay tracks for a train to link the three resorts over there with a couple restaurants and shops...Get rid of the whole "reflections" concept and do the resort between the two, theme it to Wilderness Junction. The train station and boat launch would make it fun and an interestingly connected place to stay...
there is also much they can do with the theme... if they want to...

@danlb_2000 - just to be clear: Have all the permits expired for Reflections? I'm guessing yes.
The main permits expire at the end of this month.

@danlb_2000 I'm hearing this might not be dead. Just FYI.

This is the most meta post ever, as it could refer to both this project resurrecting from the grave and this thread. And two days after Easter, no less!

Yup. Mistakes were made. Rather surprising mistakes considering the company's extensive history operating steam locomotive railroad lines. The tracks were not built to the proper standard (yet DL RR and WDWRR were) and hence many derailments happened. Also the steam locomotives had tenders that did not carry enough water (another issue both DL and WDW RRs do not have)It only ran for a few years and was an operational pain in the rear. Track issues all the time. Also, it was an upcharge during most of its short lifespan. You know how much we love those...
Such is the strange little blip on the radar history of the fort wilderness railroad.

Sure seems like another DVC project when they are having such difficulty moving points right now would be nuts. I assume this is on a very long timescale?
