A Spirited Perfect Ten

Really?

I guess MK's $350 million is for a Frontierland E, and possibly Splash/Big Thunder enhancements. Maybe a Country Bears update?

Surprising.

I would be amazed if Frontierland received another E-Ticket. There are already 2 great ones there. I actually would not be surprised (unfortunately) if it incorporated more B or C Ticket type attractions. Also, I wouldn't be shocked if a new heavily themed restaurant was added to Frontierland along the lines of BoG or the soon to be unveiled Skipper's Cantina in Adventureland.

Not saying this is what should happen. Just suggesting that this is what could happen from a more balanced attraction perspective. But who knows? Certainly not me.

Looks like the major Frontierland expansion is about to be approved.

Does this expansion include a contraction of the Rivers of America?

I got it!

TSMM clone themed to Woody's Roundup - $90 million
Lone Ranger bathrooms - $60 million
Tonto Streetmosphere - $50 million
Big Thunder revamp - $50 million
Splash revamp - $50 million
Country Bears update - $50 million

All-Murican expansion right there

Whylightbulb is pretty trust-worthy... he was spot-on about Gringotts getting some show elements cut. I don't think he would say it was about to be approved unless he was telling the truth.

This sounds like Imagineering and I really have a hard time seeing Disney doing anything with Lone Ranger from a theme park prospective after the film bombed at the box office.

Frontierland expansion. Magic Kingdom. We're all thinking the same thing, right? I don't need to say it? However unlikely it may be.

I wish...

Disney has had all sorts of plans for South Korea, and they've all fizzled. Mostly they were of the DRE variety (think a smaller footprint, largely indoor Disney park). In the meantime, UNI went full throttle with plans for a park that ... well fizzled out for reasons I'm not entirely clear on.

I do know once UNI decided to go in that Disney lost any/all interest. Could that change in the future? Sure, anything's possible, right?

Sorry if this is off topic, but after Shanghai, where do you see Disney opening a new resort? I heard awhile ago that they were looking at Australia, but idk if that was just rumors.

Bar BTM and SM, isn't Fontierland and Liberty Square the only two lands in MK that has not been expanded? It would be nice to see something new in that part of the park.

If Liberty Square ever sees an expansion I want a terrifying Sleepy Hollow ride.

Never gonna happen.

Expansion? How about filling in the existing gaps, first.

Bring back the Diamond Horseshoe show and make the place open year-round, and the Keelboats and Canoes, ditch the awkwardly edited version of Country Bears and offer a full menu at Aunt Pollys.

I would have thought an aging Tomorrowland with underutalised capacity (Stitch, CoP) would have been a higher priority.

And bring back the seasonal versions of CBJ while they're at it too.

Well that is some nice news

Looks like the major Frontierland expansion is about to be approved.

Fantastic. Thanks.

The hell?

Fantastic. Thanks.

Seems like Disney is picking up the pace all over. Has something finally clicked with them? Who knows. All I know is that as a Florida resident I'm excited for what's coming to Orlando in the coming years.

Should be interesting.

The plans call for one E Ticket.

Very likely.

 

[gmajew]

Fantastic. Thanks.

Where did this rumor start? Now they are expanding frontier land? That cannot be part of the budget board approved.

Very likely.

I hope its another mountain!

Long shot, but hope it's Western River Expedition!
