Is this being re themed to be "something Tiana"?

Nah…Walt reportedly thought Frontierland would be the perfect location for an Inside Out 2 VR experience once the technology was available.

BTMR to be re-themed to TBLSDR (Tiana’s Big Louisiana Salt Dome Railroad)…….confirmed…!!!!!

Should turn it into a country bear gift shop

Since the arcade is right next to the shop, it's possible that this is just a change that is needed to allow for the conversion of the arcade to the lounge.

Get out of here with your logic... we need time to widely speculate and be angry

... on the other hand they could be doing The Olivia Rodrigo Trading Post.

They've gone from a roller coaster to just a trading post?

Disney's budget cuts strike again.

Hopefully this is just some maintenance work. I have noticed some of the façade stonework has been in need of repair recently.

I'm still of the belief that the current Frontierland will be converted to New Orleans Square with a New Frontierland to be built beyond Big Thunder. Country Bears, which is more southern, will fit the concept; as will the Riverboat and Pecos Bill's once it is updated to Tiana's. It's an easy transition around the corner to POTC. The Mark Twain novels partially take place in or near Louisiana (at least Huck Finn), so the Island isn't a stretch, either.

Interesting idea although it doesn't square with the rumors for what's being planned for beyond Big Thunder.

Not usually one for necromancy, but with a new job coupled with a rather intense family medical emergency I dropped out of the loop completely at the start of the summer and with so many threads with so many pages I decided to go to the main site's news feed and catch up through there.

This project's article mentions how the group working on this has been the company's rockwork/facade/scenic painting people in the past. That's led to a lot of understandable talk that this is just a refresh of the stone facade to the building. But... that last one... "scenic painting" made a thought pop into my mind. Well, that phrase combined with the closure that coincided with this project.

In the Shootin' Arcade closure thread, the props were shown sitting on a shelf. I wonder if they may possibly be creating a scenery above the shelves emulating the old arcade with the props going off from time-to-time. It would spruce up a bland location, somewhat please a number of fans, is the kind of thing we've often seen them do in merchandise locations, and would fit the MO of the people working on it.
