News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[The Leader of the Club]

At least we will still have our lord and savior big al either way. I honestly kinda feel like big al is on the Mount Rushmore of Disney parks original characters.

Big Al, Figment, Orange Bird, Leota(?)

At least we will still have our lord and savior big al either way. I honestly kinda feel like big al is on the Mount Rushmore of Disney parks original characters.

My picks: the hatbox ghost, figment, Duffy, big al. Leota works too
Duffy because
Hatbox ghost because he was famous and had a cult following without even exisiting for so many years, and becoming a core part of mansion lore out of sheer will.
Duffy because of the sheer merchandise he has created over the years and world he has spawned.
Figment because…he’s figment. Hes lile the mascot of Disney world. He legit can’t be removed, he’s so beloved he’s just made his place permanent (despite Disney’s best efforts.)
And big Al because I feel like he’s the only character ever in the animatronic show ever to be popular as a standalone character. You don’t get people clamoring about jose, Romeo, or father on their own as singular characters, but Big Al is somewhat famous in his own.

Also question for everyone: what do they do with retired characters? Do they smash them because they aren’t used anymore? Or do they sit waiting for return? Because I know that some characters have come back from retirement before. Like I’m sure Duffy is sitting in the back somewhere.

Either parted out or destroyed. If I had to guess parts will probably go to Tokyo.

I wish they sold “blood on the saddle” shirts while it was in the show.

Does not say Frontierland. Just like TBA’s poster.

This looks great! Very classic while also feeling fresh. Fits the time period of the CBJ, and they still restrained themselves from directly mentioning "Disney music" which is nice. I wish we had Ernest and Shaker on there too like the preview poster, but oh well.

Is this already hung up in MK? Where's the pic from?

Interesting. Perhaps there's some merit to the death of Frontierland, then... but then, what of Big Thunder and the rumored Coco expansion of Frontierland?

I don’t think it’s ever been stated that “beyond Thunder mountain” would be part of Frontierland. I’d expect Coco or whatever else to be a new/different land

God I hope its not, I hate the idea of "IP specific lands" in castle parks. It's so bad for longevity and it clashes with the themes of all the other lands. Coco would fit as a "New Frontierland" of sorts, but not as its own land, especially with how small the rumored plot is.

I hope that beyond big thunder isn’t its own land. I’d like to see Coco included as a Frontierland expansion and villains land either as its own thing or a fantasyland expansion

I think the rumor a lot of people kick around is that Frontierland is “moving” with Big Thunder being the only remaining space of “old” Frontierland. Still not sure I buy it but the posters do not give a good feel of it sticking around the way it is.

As long as it still exists, I guess? But then what of the Country Bears, where do they go? They're very distinctly country western, it's not like they'd fit in New Orleans Square- and why does WDW need a NOS? That's Disneyland's exclusive land, much like Liberty Square is ours. Ugh, I hate the California-cation of WDW...

But I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Keep in mind Tiana’s at Disneyland will not be in NOS, it will be in Critter Country. Where their bears used to be. Curious.

ooooooooooh shoot! Critter Country could be fun, especially if they retheme everything from Bears to Pecos Bill's to be CBJ themed. Bring back the Mile Long Bar and refurbish the exit of CBJ to have the dressing room doors from DL/TDL and I'm sold

For a Critter Country to exist in MK there would need to be more critters. CBJ and TBA doesn't quite cover it. Any other IPs they could stick here?
