I'm still not happy about this but I've just accepted it and I'm interested to see what they do here. I really hope they have some great Imgineers on this and it turns out great.

I don’t think the concept at its core is all that bad. Sure, it sucks to lose ROA, but a grizzly peak-esque Pacific Northwest vibes area is, to me, the perfect replacement to ROA and could be great. Heck, the rally race idea sounds like it could be fun too! think people are just hung up that it’s CARS. While I’m not as staunchly opposed to it as some, it is kinda iffy to stick cars in MK, but I think it could still be fun. Just the IP has people hung up. I have an idea for an IP that could get people somewhat behind this attraction concept. Remember that old “country bear 500” attraction that was pitched for DL? Now use that theme, but put it in the current cars ride concept, racing around grizzly peak. Hear me out….

People never have the same standard for Disney vs Universal simply because they are upset with Disney and want Universal to take them down a peg. It makes half of these arguments incredibly shaky and in bad faith imo but I won't get on that soap box just yet.

And us Floridians get the worst one!

okay I know people are upset about the Cars attraction but really? Paradise? A river? Ya'll haven't seen a river before? It's not an incredibly great looking one imo.

Still can't get over how bad of a park Universal Orlando is. (as in the main park)
To me, it has like 1 great land, 1 okay land and then a whole lot of nothing. It's in such a state of disarray I pray we get something good after EU.

I don't care about clones, I don't see myself going to China or Japan. If I'm in Paris it's probably not for DL but when I visit it won't be for getting on a bunch of rides.
It's a pretty good chance that I'll only experience rides at WDW for at least the next 15 years until all my kids are grown.

And only 4 rides that are really worth your time if you don’t have kids that love the minions
I like to think this and a Country Bear-themed Splash Mountain exists in some mirrorverse version of Frontierland on a different variant of Earth. Our Earth's Magic Kingdom unfortunately got stuck with Tiana and Cars.

I think a really good Frontierland would be country bear 500 and a Tiana designed for Florida, where scenes aren’t replaced by NOTHING. Tiana could’ve been good in wdw.
But the bears def could be put in any of them. Would be good future proofing if we ever lost the jamboree.

just was an opinion. For the positives. I do think Tiana and Cars next to eachother will look great and add up to a pretty land. I think new Frontierland will be absolutely beautiful at night.

That is sort of where I am ... this is definitely not the choice I would make but also know there are a lot of factors that go into decision making and if this is where they landed then I just hope the absolutely nail the landing and it is a great land with a great attraction(s), tons of water elements and kinetic energy, etc

The permit doesn't really limit how much they can fill in the area, it just specifies the minimum elevation they're planning to bring RoA area to to satisfy stormwater drainage requirements. Right now, the existing perimeter of RoA and surrounding areas is anywhere between 98' and 100', and the basin of RoA is approx 93-95ish. The permit states they'll bring the entirety of RoA to a minimum of 98.75.
The actual construction civil drawings for Cars and Villains could include a ton of grading that provides lots of topology change to the final site design, but this permit at a minimum suggests they will bring all of RoA level with the rest of surrounding MK

Imagine looking at MK in 2019 and thinking Frontierland/Liberty Square is what needs fixing the most and not Tomorrowland.
Or finishing what they started in Fantasyland a decade prior.

Universal Studios is a classic, but yeah not my favorite, looks too much the same throughout. Why I kind of prefer Hollywood Studios better only because it has more color!

The old FL facades could use an update too
