You should have stopped at Jungle Cruise and Pirates, where you listed 2 rides in one land with totally different time periods. The geography connects them. Same exact is happening at Frontierland with Cars. Thanks for providing the examples

but Cars doesn't take place in the same geography as Frontierland... It is a world populated by cars....with Car part shapes terrain... This has nothing to do with the Frontier... There is nothing that thematically connects it....
and actually the Pirates was a later addition to the land and there is a transition with the Caribbean Plaza...

This Cars attraction does absolutely take place in the American Frontier, the West, the wilderness, areas we know as California, Oregon, Montana, etc. because they’re telling it is

This is not Radiator Springs nor the first movie

And yet Radiator Spring's 😭 would made more sense Beyond right behind Big Thunder Mountain becoming a Desert Land.

California, Oregon, Montana aren't next to a Bayou!

We are shifting goal posts here.
Time spans are not the issue. MAIN Street USA is an examplehow linear and algamation passes.
However, if Adventureland had eyes on Jungle Cruise Boats and thr Swiss Family treehouse and it was deemed a fictional historical landmark hotel as it's backstory, you would have something comparable to what is going on with Cars.

Oh c’mon — people were dying at the thought of RSR coming and how out of place it would be. The wilderness just isn’t desert

What do the eyes matter? This is Magic Kingdom, not Realism Kingdom

Cars doesn't take place in the Old West Frontier...The new attraction doesn't either...it is in a National Park somewhere... Not really the theme of the Frontier and the old west...The other lands were all sort of based on a human story.... History, fantasy...but human... This is an alternate land that we do no know that is the home of anthropomorphized automobiles... Which to me feels different and at odd with the rest of the park... DHS was a better choice for something like this....

Ironically if they kept to Radiator Springs, it would actually fit better. But they decided that they want to step outside RS… lol

For all the people saying it doesn't fit into Frontierland... what do you think was the final verdict on Cars fitting into California Adventure? I remember people being quite vocal that it didn't fit since most of the movie takes place in Utah/Arizona.

Or what about the final verdict on Pandora fitting into Animal Kingdom?

Or Frozen fitting into Epcot? Or Nemo?

We're five, ten, fifteen years past some of these massive tonal shifts so we should have seen some measurable impact on them in park attendance right? I mean, if it really mattered at all.

So if it wasn't for Norway what would've happened? Would Disney built a World of Arendale in Magic Kingdom or Disneyland.
It really sucks because Arendelle and Cars Land are such beautiful lands for WDW with the atmosphere and night life they both provide.

People were always fighting for Cars Land at DCA staying exclusive because it was the Headlining Land out for that park. Now with Avatar coming to DCA no one seems to fight where it's going would be odd. I'm not saying that Disneyland resort can't get Frozen but then again why can't WDW now get a true Cars Land of it's own. Is that why they are building Frozen so much overseas and waiting for Disneyland to get something based on the 3rd and 4th film?

These two films are kids properties and when you see that both coasts are getting Tiana which some small kids won't be able to ride nor see their favorite princess is insane to me.

I'm not sure it's about stepping outside, people say they learned to keeping each Land exclusive. Oh but two Tiana's is okay just don't give one coast Tiana's restaurant. We have to accept that because we have Norway we won't get an Arendale like overseas meanwhile we won't get Cars Land ever nor international because it's DCA's jewel baby on a property that sells $$$

An expansion is it's own separate Land.
On one side of Big Thunder you got Frontierland and on the other you got Desert America which Coco would fitted beside it and while your at it why not add Wilderness Oregan, Montana behind Big Thunder.. There three different settings with Big Thunder in the center.

I kind of agree but also part of me is happy that this isn’t a clone. Actually it’s a completely different ride system, so more than just a theming change. Not arguing placement of the attraction but this has some potential to be really good or even great. With that said this is a high risk move and could potentially not work out.

The magic kingdom is built on highly realistic sets and images. All of the forms of transportation are realistic - the railroad locomotives even fly green flags and lanterns and have a period appropriate drumhead on the back.

And yet these modes of transport take you to lands where you see critters playing in a New Orleans band, talking toys battling a galactic emperor, and monsters telling jokes

The Cars ride is not a mode of transportation, it’s an attraction with talking cars. Set in the Frontier

I rather a clone land just to see if they can pull off whatever they already have. If you want to add a different ride system since it's Florida then means necessary. At least it would've been an indepth expansion because the whole Radiator Spring's Cars Land would not fit where ROA is. If they decided that on where ROA is I would say it wouldn't work.

If they do not get this right and on the level of a Cars experience same quality as DCA then they are doomed. This is not Hollywood Studios your talking about this is Magic Kingdom and your sacrificing it on a part of an existing land that people used for purposes which they couldn't do in the rest of the park. This is their last chance for the domestic parks. Everyone knows they won't screw Avatar over coast.

Exactly. Very little talk here around getting a brand new ride and ride system (first of its kind at a park anywhere?) which people here are always clamoring for. How we’ll go up rocky slopes and wade through ponds.

So. Much. Pessimism.
