Taking this question seriously and ignoring the fact that Frontierland does make sense name wise with Cars, a backtrack to naming it Discoveryland (like Paris?) could pay homage to Baxter’s extension of Frontierland concept while also fitting the vibe of most of the attractions. Adventureland, Discoveryland, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland… it fits like a puzzle piece!

I think you might be conflating Discoveryland (Tomorrowland's name in Paris) with Discovery Bay, which was (IIRC) a planned land to expand north of Disneyland's Frontierland.
Besides, what discoveries would they be naming it after? Cars? Mine trains? Food co-ops?

It’s okay. I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes, and I am happy now living without you, I’ve left you (oh oh ohhhhh).

@Sirwalterraleigh - you can shutdown your conspiracy theory on why TBA is still on VQ that's it not popular enough.
I'm chalking up it's on VQ because of reliability.

Non-Disney fans would probably look at these forums and think everything we discuss is meaningless.
Personally, I have a very dim view of myself for participating on these fora.

You’re shooting at me from the bushes here…total sneak.
But I appreciate the attempt.
Truth be told…I don’t care one way or another why it’s on virtual queue…
The reality is Princess and the frog is NOT a popular IP. You can read the tale of the tape on that starting from when it was a BO disappointment.
And splash being replaced…wrankled a lot of feathers of the park pounders for a couple of reasons
1. Generally speaking…almost no one had a problem with a rabbit and a bear and a fox doing slapstick
2. It’s a “replacement”…which finally most on the street are identifying as the shell game pulled by management.
That all said…it’s wdw. It’s underequipped - by design - for going on 25 years. They didn’t build for crowds. Fine. But don’t act like that’s not the issue.
You’re there…they charge you a fortune (especially if you didn’t buy into dvc long ago)…and you gotta have something to do.
Of course people will be in line…it’s a math issue. Just like people go inline for the awful Star Wars rides….or will wait 90 minutes for ratatouille…you’re there.
And since you’re quoting Len…let’s explore that:
Did you see the data on how awful the holiday season was? He was tracking crowds based on lines…but you can also add pathetic hotel occupancy to that list.
What’s going on? Maybe the “happiest place” isn’t so happy across the board now?
Bad management.
The future of leisure may end up in wildwood, nj.
Just observations and realities…no conspiracies (except the wildwood one…I’ll own that)

Not completely apples to apples, Splash has 8,320 plus responses while TBA has 386. Let's see how things shake out with more time.

Don’t even think about dragging the Jersey Shore into this.

It really wasn’t the point.
He essentially said TBA were was still on virtual queue because it wasn’t popular/well received.
Well the last two things are true. It’s not popular or well received.

it’s New Jersey…so if we don’t self-deprecate…we’re not doing it right.
My point is a bucket with a goldfish swimming in it would probably get a line and “popularity” to watch now…by design to sell upsells and line skips.
That’s a doozy of a conspiracy…your head might explode if you try to tackle that one

Back to Cars, that permit needs to be finalized soon huh?

It takes a long time to find old license plates with the letters in Frontierland for not one, but two signs.
