The perspective and scale in the concept art is strange to me. The path over to Big Thunder looks to start just north of the riverboat dock in line with the path that leads into Fantasyland (which makes sense).Took some time to skim 60 pages and analyze the concept art. This is what I can conclude in my opinion...

- TSI needed to be changed somehow (Story & Attendance)
- Rivers did not have to go and this is the biggest mistake Disney has made yet in the current regime
- The loss of kenetic energy form the river is going to be huge
- Don't understand the need for snow covered mountains, as it is unnecessary
- Snow right next to dry aired Frontier tumbleweed landscape?
- Going to plant a lot more trees separating this from what is existing
- Feels like Grizzly Peak area and Redwood Trail in DCA recycled with IP put in
- As some insiders have stated, "this is not over yet" which I take it more undesired changes are on the way
- How does modern off road vehicles fit into Liberty Square timeline?
- Think we are going to see LS change as a whole land eventually
- HOP will change 100% because of our on going political climate
- Does this keep the speedway or put it on chopping block?
- This is 100% a merch and Lighting Lane grab for Disney
- Why does there have to be a giant piston on top of the mountain viewable from so many other lands
- If the 90% of you don't like this, (I don't either) then have you already written an email to multiple departments & people? I did before writing on this forum.
But despite looking relatively straight, it looks to terminate at the far northern end of Big Thunder where the canal to backstage is. However, if you actually draw a relatively straight line from Columbia Harbor House/Momento Mori to Big Thunder, you end up roughly at the old designated smoking area (old canoe launch?) at the Big Thunder exit (again makes sense).
I guess that just means the northern half of ROA is Villains (as opposed to the area immediately north of Mansion).
