Unless I’m looking at the map incorrectly doesn’t river of America stretch pretty far back ? Seems like villains lane will intersect with a portion of the Back river right?
Everyone who goes to the park "goes there" without stepping foot there.My thoughts exactly. Splash Mountain was my favorite ride at Disney World, but I totally understand why it's inappropriate to have a ride based on Song of the South operating in 2024.
I think both Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America are very well-themed, and I get why people are sad to see them go, but from a business perspective I think getting rid of them is a no-brainer. Tom Sawyer's island is pretty much dead (NO ONE goes there, so they won't even be able to appreciate the good theming) and Cars will be infinitely more popular for the average guest. And getting rid of the rivers is a necessary sacrifice to improve access to the Villains land, which should be popular.
People are valid in their feelings for losing ROA and Tom Sawyer Island, but I don't think Disney is totally insane for making a decision that makes total business sense. I also think the concept art for the new Cars land is aesthetically pleasing, and if executed well, should address the concerns about losing beautiful scenery.
I think they’re trying to say how Splash Mountain, taking place in Georgia, does not fit the initial theme of the western frontier.This post is a parody, right? Because no one can actually believe what you wrote?
Don’t get me started on “the professor” again! Haha.He also makes a comment that they cannot keep the river because they would need to keep the lock to the lagoon, which is odd because they are keeping the lock, and the river around Big Thunder.
There is nothing in the new show that sets it in the 20th century correct?Country Bears says a 20th century "Howdy!"

It’s the same land, but the modern cars will be hidden from the area of Frontierland we can stand in today. You’ll have to go around a bend, so you’ll never see the cars and current Frontierland at the same time.not at all - from a time perspective nothing had a set time period until Tiana which is still 1920’s correct? Now we are plopping modern cars into the same land.
That is yet to be determinedIt’s the same land, but the modern cars will be hidden from the area of Frontierland we can stand today.
Zanetti is an undisputable insider, and you would have to be delusional to believe that he is gaslighting people.Hi there- what did I say that does not make sense and how am I starting to hurt people?
Oh, it’s been determined, but I know you’ll have to see it with you own eyes before you believe it.That is yet to be determined![]()
Does Tiana, though?I think they’re trying to say how Splash Mountain, taking place in Georgia, does not fit the initial theme of the western frontier.
While I disagree with that statement I’m not the one who said he was gaslighting people.Zanetti is an undsputable insider, and you would have to be delusional to believe that he is gaslighting people.
The ride has issues - but it doesn’t cancel out the vibe of the area except for the Tiara which is what it is. It’s not a natural fit, but it can work.Does Tiana, though?
In the final years of the area, yes.Except DHS got a net gain of 3 new rides on the former area of just 1.
They put attractions and expanded the walkable areas in parts that was formerly non accessible to guests. Backlot was all facades with nothing but a few shops and playground. BLT was a waste of space
Ummm... what evidence?Even when there is evidence that Inagineering might be trying to tweak the project to keep the southern island,
Good thing comprehension isn’t your problem….People are allowed to be upset. No need to receive permission from you.
The gaps makes you realize this ride was designed for Disneyland. As for what WDW was to get instead seemed interesting thought with everything else having a different theme aside Galaxy's EdgeThe ride has issues - but it doesn’t cancel out the vibe of the area except for the Tiara which is what it is. It’s not a natural fit, but it can work.
And to be completely fair to Disney - Tiana is a natural fit for Disneyland to bridge New Orleans square and critter / bayou country so the retheme was very logical there.
And we either disagree with the reasons or think the reasons being put out there are just an excuse to make it out like they didn’t have a choice. Nothing to do with denial or being toxic. It’s just being a fan of something…They are being told the reasons why this is happening,
Georgia, where Splash Mountain and its source film Song of the South is not and never was the Frontier (West). The point is valid that the Cars proposal at least takes place in the Frontier, albeit at a different time, which Splash Mountain did not. Tiana is on the cusp given you could argue the Louisiana Purchase catalyzed the west-ward migration that defined the Frontiernot at all - from a time perspective nothing had a set time period until Tiana which is still 1920’s correct? Now we are plopping modern cars into the same land.
What made it even worse for the EPCOT work was after all that time and the walls came down how disappointing it was!EPCOT from 2019 through 2024 was a walled experience with construction defining the park experience. I cannot help but wonder if the devotion of Disney Parks fans is great enough to overlook a 10-year construction zone at Magic Kingdom.
We will not stop going to Walt Disney World, but pervasive construction and the subsequent departure from immersion will likely result in few to no visits to Magic Kingdom.
