MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

I hope others are right and some amount of water is staying, but the last time I looked at permits it sure didn't seem that way, other than a tiny sliver alongside the edge of the park where it feeds into the Seven Seas Lagoon, but nothing that guests would even see from the park. I think a great compromise is to keep maybe 20% of the river, dock the boat, and leave it as a scenic sitting/relaxing area. Of course, that wouldn't sell DVC, or LLs, or anything else, and would purely be an investment in the park experience for no monetary gain, so I doubt they do it.

The permit drawings are for water management and don’t include any actual details. Any new water features would most likely be isolated and not part of the water management system. They’d be like a fountain or swimming pool.

Ah, okay. I really hope they include something.

I'm sure this has been covered, but do we expect the riverboat and TSI to close before 2026?

I can’t recall if this has been covered but I think it would be logical to say yes.

Probably

As currently planned, yes.

Has anyone mentioned that this whole area, plus Villains Land whenever they get around to building it, is going to be DVC-only? That’s how they’re going to get crowding under control throughout the rest of the park. The DVC lounge was just the first step towards a split MK, but apparently they haven’t decided whether or not to include TBA and BTM in this yet. I guess the in-house fighting over who would pay maintenance costs is a big one.

TDO and Burbank are currently looking at what other areas of the other 3 parks could be carved off for DVC guests (you don’t think the DVC sales lounge at Epcot was coincidence, do you?). And there are rumblings one of the water parks may become a DVC exclusive venue as well. Word is the After Hours events at Typhoon Lagoon have been test runs for an eventual DVC-only switch.

I hear the monorail will be DVC only all the rest will have bus service

Hey guys so I have this idea how we could stop Disney from draining RoA and demolishing TSI, ok so what if we get a bunch people and a lot of those water tubes and we camp out in the RoA, that way, Disney cannot drain the water and we save RoA and TSI

What a poorly researched article. It lost me when it continued to tell the false narrative that the Rivers of America are getting replaced by a dirt track and trackless All-terrain ride vehicles similar to the ones created by Dynamic Attractions in 2017, when we know it will be a tracked rally race through the Wilderness.

How do we know that?

I almost seems like AI read this thread and some other similar sites and wrote it.

The imagineering video that was posted a few weeks ago.

Gotta love an article whose first quote is from WDWPro.

Pretty much everything Disney has announced about the attraction. Every single piece of concept art has involved the cars racing though the Wilderness. Both times the dirt track test footage was release (D23 Brazil and the We Call It Imagineering) Disney have stressed that those were not the ride vehicles but testing how they could simulate the terrain. The We Call It Imagineering video also showed the tracked model of the ride vehicles going over the simulated terrain, debunking the Dynamic Attractions trackless ATVs theory.

That’s typical of articles written by Caroline Reid.
