It's a lot more expensive than a couple hundred thousand dollars, and let's not forget about how expensive the rivers upkeep is. Besides, the riverboat and TSI don't bring in enough capacity to make the company money, and so they are actively losing money on both the maintenance and staffing costs. Not to mention, it's a much better investment to slap multiple E ticket attractions, gift shops, and restaurants in that space.
No No Frontierland to me is Batu!!!!!!!
I don't know what their plans are for the riverboat, but it would make sense for them to scrap it for parts, and fix the Mark Twain in DLP. But at the same time, I don't think it makes financial sense for there to be more than one riverboat in DLP.
I don't care but that would be a big surprise!
quit clinging to time. any open and relatively uncharted space is a frontier, regardless the time period
So DLP should have a river and riverboat and WDW should not?
They're afraid if they try to refurb the boat they will break it in half.......

I assume you’re talking about Poseidon Entertainment’s video that released today, I enjoyed it a lot too if you are. I’ll link it here if people want to check it out.
This is simply not true. They extensively refurbished it just a few years ago. It’s also well maintained.
All the boat got was a new boiler. The steam cylinders are leaking, the exhaust pipes are nearly clogged, the structure itself is riddled with cracks, and the delivery pipes are leaking. Disney has more than enough money to fix these issues, but they won't because they don't see the boat as a good investment. The maintenance team is doing the best they can with what they have available. I'm sorry that you all don't want to hear this, but it's the truth.
Didn't Horizon's collapse by a sinkhole or had to be demolished because of it?
