I agree with intangible impact of aesthetics and the ROA on the experience. My question is I’m not sure if that intangible impact outweighs a lot of the benefits this area might bring. I always found myself frustrated, not peaceful, in Frontierland because of the crowd bottlenecks. This area forms a nice loop to hopefully help that. I get people find this area beautiful and charming (I do too) but I think it is a bit presumptuous to assume everyone feels that way “unconsciously” even when they consciously say they would prefer something different.
I think the final verdict will ultimately depend on 1) how good the Cars E Ticket is, and 2) how good the theming is of the “natural parks” area and how much water is incorporated. I know the storytelling of the land is ruined, and that is a loss, but there is a possible net positive if what replaces it is well recieved.
