Not saying I 100% agree but it’s worth noting the people in charge are all California guys who are nostalgic for their Disneyland. It’s why a lot of WDW’s unique quirks have been removed and changed to match Disneyland- the Peg Leg Pete barker parrot getting axed, renaming Tropical Serenade to Enchanted Tiki Room, other examples I’m forgetting from an article I read years ago… Magic Kingdom has always lived in its older sibling’s shadow and has been slowly sanded to be more like it and less its own park.So DLP should have a river and riverboat and WDW should not?
Interesting.
I still think Iger wants to damage MK so it loses the most visited title.
I truly think Iger hates Florida/WDW.
Just my opinion
Though in the case of the rivers it’s 100% driven by greed/Iger’s obsession with Cars rather than a dislike of MK/WDW

Party on Chernabog's mountain? All the cool baddies are there?
Old school would have built another mountain flume ride.....

Can we say its 95 percent Iger's greed and obsession with Cars and 5 percent Iger's hate for Florida and WDW?

I would imagine either/or. Probably at least one of the signature attractions will feature multiple villains (hopefully curated such that they make some visual and thematic sense together), but I would expect some of the smaller scale attractions, M&G locations, and retail/F&B to be focused on specific villains.

I wouldn’t say it’s a total unknown.
Cars is clearly an E ticket. Josh also stated 2 major attractions for Villains.
I get that we have only seen attraction art but the intentions are clearly e ticket in scope. We will see what gets built.
Also this stuff was literally announced a month ago. Relax. Take a breath.

One storyline I would like is a boat ride down to the Underworld with Hades to revive the dead villians (possibly using the Black Cauldron). The queue could be narrated by Hades as he sends his subjects on boats through the Underworld to "bring the best bad guys down here back to revive with the Cauldron so he can have an unstoppable team" The ride follows finding villians in their own areas in the Underworld.

As you can see from these photos I took in late 2020, the track is attached to a sliver of concrete, the majority of the riverbed is just like any other river: dirt. Needless to say, an “aging riverbed” is not the issue.
There was much more done than just a new boiler. Many other things were done, such as an automatic water feed pump being installed and extensive deck work. The LB is not in a bad state of repair at all.

That’s not clear to me. Radiator Springs Racer is an E-ticket. But this is not that so we don’t know yet. It is probably at least a D ticket though (on par with 7 dwarves mine / slinky dog)

I’m not clinging to time. Frontierland is where we experience the story of our country's past ... the colorful drama of Frontier America in the exciting days of the covered wagon and the stage coach ... the advent of the railroad ... and the romantic riverboat.

The full quote -
“There’s really no secret about our approach. We keep moving forward – opening up new doors and doing new things – because we’re curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We’re always exploring and experimenting. At WED, we call it Imagineering – the blending of creative imagination with technical know-how.”

Using that quote talking about technological innovation to justify the removal of the riverboat, which Walt loved at DL and would have loved at MK, is a stretch to say the least.

I think what this conversation keeps coming back to is this unrealistic binary of “Is all change good, or is all change bad?” But that’s not the relevant question. Walt never said change for the worse is a good thing. He never said “Bulldoze Disneyland and build a Target, by all means, because that would be change and we need constant, unending change for its own sake.”
The question is - is this a positive or a negative change? A likely upgrade or a likely downgrade? Not “yes to change or no to change.”
and there is plenty of just cause to have concern that it will be a negative impact.
