so...because Disney has also completely flubbed with the Guardians Show building, the Tron Box and the Ratatouille Show Box it is OK that they are going to build another monstrosity smack in the middle of an established thematic area of the park? Hardly feels like an excuse for it... and yes, this Pacific Far-Western themed Mountain setting will indeed make whatever is left of Frontierland, Liberty Square and the Haunted Mansion all feel poorly sited...While also hemming in these thematic areas forever...So rather than being the lands they were, these areas will now feel like misplaced sets on the way to Carsland... I won't count on a real Villainsland until I see them actually release some artwork the shows something concrete and drawn for location... Phase 2 rarely happens...lolIMO, the sightlines are not the thing to be concerned about here, at least not yet. Yes, you’re losing specific vistas and the original feel of the space, and certain attractions like the Haunted Mansion may end up feeling more poorly sited; however, significant spend is going into making sure the entire area looks finished from all angles, even if you think it’s not as attractive, restful, or intentional-looking. When I think of sightline issues (particularly that impact guest perception of value), I think of the TRON box looming over Storybook Circus, the Cosmic Rewind box dominating the World Discovery skyline, or the poor backstage views of Ratatouille you witness on the skyliner.
