You know what's funny?
"Unused" doesn't mean there is no purpose or benefit that exists...but it's mostly unused
There are other ways to add capacity.the park needs capacity

River boat is the thing you do to kill time when there's nothing actually fun to do.
Well they half ruined Epcot, I guess it’s MK’s time next. AK look out.If this happens, they really have lost the plot.
Good bye Magic Kingdom. You used to be good.
I've been on these forums for many years, and this is the saddest news I've heard from Disney.
Tom Sawyer's Island is the only Walt Disney World attraction designed by Walt Disney. Its trees and caves are much needed respite for over-heated, over-stimulated kids. It is a refreshing escape from the Disney Genie rat race, long queues, sun-baked concrete, crowds, etc.
Even more importantly, the Rivers of America are key to the vibe of Liberty Square and Frontierland. The river gives that whole side of the park desperately-needed room to breathe. It helps make Magic Kingdom livable and is key to the area's story. The Rivers of America are Frontierland's wilderness. Without the Rivers of America, Frontierland's theme disintegrates.
I thought Disney had learned to appreciate the importance of water; they're totally reconfiguring Adventure World f/k/a Disney Studios Paris around a new lake. Now, they're replacing Magic Kingdom's main water feature with a cars land? I don't get it.
Doesn't really look like it to me, there is a walking path that seems to cross in front of the building. Looks like the start is more towards the middle where the banner is.So if they're keeping the Liberty Belle launch platform, does that mean it's the entrance to the new ride?
AND, here is another example of why I completely believe they might trash Muppets/Star Tours to add Monster.
Let’s be honest. It’s not fixed until they bring back the toppings bar at pecosIn a matter of 5 years they will have completely changed Frontierland, an area that didn’t really need to be “fixed.”
I dont think there's an If here anymoreIf this happens, they really have lost the plot.

Hm, I think I agree in theory, but in my gut I just view Magic Kingdom as a lost cause in that respect. "Peace and quiet" is not something that I consider viable at MK, so I don't mind them YOLO'ing as much as they can cram into the gates.What we’re losing, however, is breathing room, and that isn’t unimportant either. Not every inch of “unused” space needs to be filled; in as crowded an environment as the Magic Kingdom, a bit of visual and spatial respite from all the busyness is a wonderful thing.
Star Tours seems weird outside of the land but removing more attractions is a bad idea. I don’t like what they are doing at AK either. We need more thingsThat's how I'd bet. Separate thread though.
This kind of reminds me of Harmonious, destroying a lot of the vibes in the heart of the park. At least with Harmonious, I could kind of look away from them in World Showcase, and I knew they'd leave one day (sooner than I thought even!). But this new Cars thing will rip out the quiet spots to chill while waiting for a table at Liberty Tree or the scenic docks and replace it with "offroad" Cars zooming past. A huge overall downgrade to the park experience.For me it's not TSI, it's the river, the views, the pacing of it all. Gone.
I always go on the riverboat thinking "it's hot, let's take a break." And then I get on the thing and realize "it's effing hot on this boat, too."I enjoy the riverboat a good bit, even if it is only something we do every third trip or so. I actually like it more than the train.
RIP
They couldn’t have removed the blue section and left us the yellow section? Frontierland and Liberty Square are designed to be along a waterfront area. Removing that water will extremely disrupt the flow and design of those areas, leaving them as an awkward, concrete wasteland. The back section cannot even be seen from those areas anyways, it’s a wonder why they didn’t just take that area and leave us the front portion so those lands still retain the waterfront nature they were designed with.View attachment 808590
So yellow is confirmed Cars. I'm assuming Villians will be approximately somewhere in blue? Only that small portion of ROA will remain, any hope they move the Belle up there (even if it is docked)?
