Considering the SFX coaster basically bankrupted them and the whole company was sold off last year, I wonder if Disney could've bought the patents for the ride design.
They’re still in business. Patents protect a specific process. It’s why anyone can buy a flying theater even though Disney owns the patent on the Soarin’ system.

Does anyone think this will be anything less than a massive pile of trash in the middle of MK. All terrain cartoon autonomous vehicles navigating elevation changes. Going how fast? Ugh They can’t even get LED lights to work in the concrete at Epcot. It is one thing to build a stinker, it is another demolish perfection. Bob has systematically removed Walt from Disney. Those trains will be offline for how many more years?

Struggling to visualize how a dirt road ride track will be drivable with all the florida rain. The upkeep on this attraction will be astronomical. Still looks fascinating to me though! Looking forward to seeing it come together.

It'll definitely be concrete or some other kind of durable material that's just painted/sculpted to look like dirt.

It won’t be an actual dirt road ride track. Just like KSR doesn’t have a dirt road ride track.

Guaranteed the bean counters internally view this as the perfect solution.

1. Gets rid of a controversial topic/area with Tom Sawyer
2. Prime real estate in the most visited theme park in the world
3. “New ride!!!” / Press boon
4. Increased merchandise potential

Of course the bean counters don’t care about thematic consistency, story telling, the art of negative space, nor the dynamics a quiet part of the park brings to the table.

Burbank is full of useless suits, and lacks creative direction who understands the intent of the parks. The Bobs have been a complete disaster on this company…

5. Sell the queue jumping tickets for it to the max.

I am appalled, this looks to be nothing more than a giant ugly dirt monster rally pit plopped down in the Magic Kingdom..
Well yeah, if you only look at the test video that has none of the thematic elements and think that's exactly what it will look like in MK and refuse to look at the concept art that includes snow capped mountains and geysers and other National Park elements.

That makes you entirely correct!!
