News Cars-Themed Expansion at Magic Kingdom

[danlb_2000]

it is. No Villains and Coco is going to DCA.

That didn't age well.

There is a lot of room behind Big Thunder especially if they re-route Floridian Way. The could conceivably build both Cars and Villians back there.

People of the forum… AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I’m so excited. You can tell Disney has been reading the boards because I felt like everything announced was fan service in the best way possible. The future is bright kids.

Adding more to Frontierland just makes Tiana’s ride not fit thematically that much more.

 

[Gusey]

This is probably going Beyond Big Thunder but will be classed as Frontierland rather than a Cars Land. Then again, they can always change their mind like they did with Critter Country becoming Bayou Country

Remember that time WDW filled in the 20k lagoon to reimagine Fantasyland. I think RoA is going to get the same treatment.

Unfortunately they just don't care anymore. That's why the parks are slowly becoming IP hodgepodges.

Man frontierland is an absolute mess haha

Rallying through a muddy mountain road looks cool. I am so glad it’s not a copy/paste.

Hopefully the little racers ride is a family tour, not Luigi’s spinning tires.

Its called "doing a Tommorrowland" - a cohesive mess

More or less what I am expecting.

So what happens to the railroad under this scenario?

Reroute or tunnels. The borders aren’t exact. I just think they will place most of Cars where the lagoon is now, and Villains behind it and Mansion.

Get ready for another 5 years of closure

A world of talking cars makes no sense within Frontierland. And if they’re removing Tom Sawyer and the river, then it’s even worse. What are they thinking? This whole thing is a travesty, a sham and a mockery...it's a traveshamockery.

I'd basically put money on Tom Sawyer Island going. It has that rustic, "frontier" feeling that they are desperately trying to get rid of.

The riverboat is super iconic, and does soak up a lot of people, but I don't think Disney cares. They'll fill in the river to build Cars land and sell more merch.

The loss of Rivers of America, plus 20k lagoon awhile back, plus parts of the moat, are all going to/ are already contribute to MK becoming a concrete wasteland. It needs water and trees; the hub has almost no trees compared to before. These things make me sad.

If so then what’s on TSI?

That didn't age well.

It will age a lot better in five years when we reflect and realize it is not happening.

If Villians land is that far up, it's gonna become like ToonTown in DL where it'll have to close for a couple hours daily for fireworks each night.

It's right next to the main center launch site plus the adjacent two smaller DE launchers.

I don't hate this, but I'm also not super excited either.

I wonder how much of the River this is going to take up? In the Villains concept art we got a bit of a river in the foreground. I wonder if thats part of the existing waterway in the park.
