Rumor Frontierland Shootin' arcade to close and replaced with DVC Member lounge

This will be a bar (saloon?), not a DVC lounge. There may or may not be a DVC element to it, maybe a section of it is DVC lounge, but anticipate a bar.

Now you're talking. That's the best idea you've had all day.

Ultimately don't know why people are complaining, this is pretty consistent with what people asked for from the parks. It was always doomed with having guns in the first place, but its fate was sealed more recently when people made the call on what's acceptable. And generally, Frontierland as a whole isn't to people anymore. Besides the obvious, CBJ had to be rethemed similarly, and now people here are out for Pecos' head now for removal. That leads almost nothing for a Frontierland, and with Tiana and the BBTM expansion it perhaps makes it better to retheme that ride and retire the land for New Orleans Square and whatever expansion they are cooking long-term. This can't stay if everything else is going.

In replacing with a DVC lodge? There isn't one for them in-park, and the have made a great push in the last decade to make amenity offers for the timeshare holders whose spending might bring considerable income for the company and hence shareholders. Disney shareholders and fans reaffirmed this is the direction people want the parks to go with voting for Iger's board members today and supporting Iger overall last 15 years, and a lounge incentive for DVC is seen by them as a better investment long-haul then side attractions and extra entertainment. This is very consistent with Iger's actions the past 15 years at this company and should not be controversial with the community as this is what has been requested as the best future action for the park.

IMO, New Orleans Square taking over significant real estate makes no sense when they’ve just gone to the trouble of redoing the Country Bears with a strong Opry vibe. If they were becoming something more Louisianan, I might agree. The easiest play is to go with the Mississippi River delta as the setting for the first stage of Frontierland, keeping at least Harper’s Mill for Missouri, Country Bears for Tennessee, and Tiana’s Bayou for Louisiana. The architecture doesn’t need to change at all then, aside from a bit on the far side of Pecos Bill, which should switch to a name and food more representative of the delta, ultimately making way for a better southwestern restaurant near Big Thunder and the possible Coco attraction.

If they don't have fake sarsaparilla they are missing the butterbeer bet
