Country Bears were an E-TICKET? Goodness gracious. I wouldn't even consider them a D-ticket.

The same way they are doing imagination 4? The same way they finished spaceship earth? they same way they are building a new world showcase pavilion? allrighty then. I dont doubt they may be looking into frontierland, as others have said they have been for awhile, but with tdo at the helm and the eastern half of the fantasyland expansion still up in the air, :shrug: Were not even getting a 40th anniversary per say, or wait are we? any news on that? I know its off topic but just wondering.

From that image above, there are 3 possible expansion plots. The Blue area is the most easy to access. Then there is the red one (TSI), which if used could cause trouble with getting people to the island. Would they need to build a permanant bridge? If so, the Liberty Belle's route would most likely have to change. The Yellow plot is the biggest, but would be extremely inconvienient (and it's actually closer to LS/FL than it is to FrL). However, they could possibly create a walking path from FrL to get there and also train to tranport people back and forth.
you'll notice in the image above that the ROA has been rerouted to fill in parts to connect it in with parts of TSI. I'm not gonna sit here and say it's the best option (or easiest to execute), but it would definitely make getting to the expanded area a helluva lot easier and would still leave the Yellow plot open for potential future expansion on LS or FL. I know that that's very far fetched and will likely never happen, just thought i'd throw that out there.
With the second picture, how exactly would Disney go about reconfiguring that?
It seems that the land is moved?
How would they do all of that?
I'm also against using bridges on the island, b/c it just ruins the whole aspect of Tom Sawyer Island..

I understand that Tom Sawyer's Island in Disneyland is in New Orleans Square, but could they be considering a Pirates makeover in Florida as well? Wouldn't that make the most sense based on the "reusing existing infrastructure" talk that's on here?
I'm still in the group that thinks this is something in the 2016 or later category, but if it's something small like that it could come sooner.

If this is indeed true, my one wish for this would be that they move the Bears to a bigger building so a 2nd theater could be added

It will be a lot sooner than 2016 as many insiders have said. Lee said that you can see major changes occuring within a couple of years. So i would guess the 2011-2012 time frame.

adventureland needs it more. FrL has two of the 3 thrill rides at MK plus TSI, riverboats, etc. Adventureland had POTC and JC, but lets face it, there isn't a whole lot going on in Adventureland. In fact, one could just totally ignore the right side of AL because its either part of an endless facade or peddling rubber snakes. Granted, the park in its entirety needs a facelift, but FrL seems to be much stronger than the others

It's coming from credible people with credible sources. :wave: Even Lee & Martin (unless their all of a sudden not credible any longer :shrug
have agreed to such a possibility. However, as with any rumor, it should be taken lightly. I guess your sources aren't matching up to others then.

Adventureland needs its very own IJA- but not a copy imo. Maybe a river rapids (cough, UP, cough) or even Indiana Jones mine ride or one of the dozen other versions Disneyland never got- but just not the EMV.

Trust me, there WILL be MANY new attarctions and shows at WDWver the next 10 years. Some HUGE projects......some small.
Don't underestimate Disney. WDW will be upgrading & expanding parks.
Not wishful thinking, it will and is happening. Some has already started.
Hold on to your Mickey ears folks, things are gonna get REALLY COOL, very soon- you wait!
Not speculation, wait and see, that's all I can say.:slurp: "

I wouldn't change a thing. On the other hand, if they were some how able to expand Frontierland, I'd be all for that. It's my favorite land.

While any good expansion is appreciated, I'm curious why they would do it in Frontierland when Adventureland and especially Tomorrowland would seem to be better choices.
Management pressure to increase profit in a land that is behind the rest of the park.
Maybe.

Makes sense.

I understand everyone's feelings towards AL and TL and their needing something first. Let me give another perspective on that. I used to love FL and spent a lot of time there (especially in line for Splash and BTMR). Now I have a 2 year old. During our 4 trips with her, we've hardly spent any time there. Country Bears is really the only thing there appropriate for her age, and that's only if we have some time to waste and want to get out of the heat.
I have no idea what they have planned or where they would put it, but a family friendly dark ride would be a great addition IMO. FL is in an area that you don't even need to walk through unless you want/need to, so I would buy into Marni's suggestion that it's not pulling in enough money. While it has some of the most solid theming and attractions, it is still lacking in some areas.
