The loss of these views I think is the worst part of all.

Honestly, I don't mind the Rivers or TSI being filled in. They look pretty but that's about it for me. If they make it look like the concept art where it's a cozy mountain/forest area that could be just as beautiful.

But I am annoyed that this was all supposed to be "Beyond" BTM & only Villains will be. Use the space more!!!

That's why there's alcohol and a giant star wars land stapled onto the back of it right?

They'll desecrate and put anything anywhere, regardless of theme, utility, or precedent. They don't care, and haven't for a number of years. It's fine, and endlessly complaining on forums is completely exhausting.

On the other hand though, what would the purpose of the forums be if not to endlessly complain about everything we are interested in? It's an interesting tightrope walked here, but I'm increasingly of the opinion that it's a largely exhausting endeavor.

More fundamentally bad design for the sake of hubris. The Festival Center turbocharged. Huge costs to make a change for the sake of making changes, even if they create negative impacts.

Theme parks are not just a random assorted of rides just dropped down wherever but that has very much been Disney’s strategy more and more of late.

Frontierland is designed as an edge condition, its main corridor exists because of the River. It is how the space is shaped and defined. This contrasts it with Main Street, USA, Tomorrowland and even Adventureland. The walkway will now be walled off by the attraction berm. All made worse by the disinterest in activating the existing facilities. It’ll be a pretty version of permanent construction walls.

This is also the parade corridor. If the entrance ends up anywhere nearby then that’s just a compounded operational mess.

Crowding is about perception and this will make not help.

I don't think you can decern park operations from concept art. I share your concern about the parade corridor and this area being heavy with traffic, but all we can do is wait and see.

Look here:

You can see (center left) water and bridge walkways similar to what's there now. This rendering is not exact when it comes to distance and space. But you can see walkways over something.

You are correct though, that center mountain will block site lines so I'm very curious to know how tall it is and the feeling you get right there.

But you know what, you want to talk site-lines?

Right there in the red circle is going to be that snowy mountain. That might be visible from the hub and that's actually really cool.

Just wanted to say I love this idea! Not going to happen but it would actually be a perfect fit. Riverboat tourism was once a huge part of Florida's early history, at roughly the same era as the Grand Floridian.

Anyway, back to discussing WDI's newest travesty...

Paddlewheel steamboats were very much a feature of Florida rivers.

I learned something new today. Cool! I think we've found our solution.

I have no issue with someone giving an opinion, but your whole post just lambasted a whole group of people (a generation) for not caring about the parks etc. You don't know those people.

Hate this addition or love it, that's fine. But I just find it offensive when you just insult a large swath of people to bolster your own opinion.

It's not meant to be an insult. I'm sorry it came off that way. In general the younger generation grew up with the way the parks are now. They don't hold the same nostalgia for Rivers of America and Muppets as those whose have gone since the 80s and 90s.

It's how people view the parks differently. For my family, we grew up with each park being unique and different. I'm not against IP in the parks. I feel they need to make it fit the theme of the park.

The only new attractions they announced I feel for the park they are going is the AK additions.

This looks like crap they’d put in Genting Skyworlds.

The impact on the parks perception cannot be understated. It’s going to make the park go from feeling sprawled and grand to cramped and suffocating.

I completely disagree with suffocating. It's actually adding a vast amount of walkable space where before there wasn't any. It's making the park bigger. That's without Villains.

The artwork looks Iike they’re channeling the spirit of the never built western river expedition, or mine train into natures wonderland… with the natural landscapes, caves, and waterfalls. All in the spirit of frontierland. Unfortunately they are forced to build something IP driven and marketable. As much as I dont like cars and I’m nervous about how it will fit in, I do understand the reasoning and I’m hopeful that they can do it and leave the land’s atmosphere and aesthetic intact.
