Rumor Frontierland Shootin' arcade to close and replaced with DVC Member lounge

[IanDLBZF]

Really don't understand why this is happening when there are plenty of options available for a lounge at MK that doesn't disturb daytime ops or impacts guests.

• Stitch Preshow/Indoor Queue (don't even have to touch the actual attraction space itself)
• Merchants of Venus
• Tomorrowland Terrace

The latter of the 3 is actually used for fireworks dessert parties so that would be sort of impossible to make a DVC lounge, just saying.

politics, which is just destroying these parks. they could have at least turned it into something small for regular guests and something fitting for the land, but no, of course not.

By 2060 all of MK will be lounges

They will paint the walls white & gray and hang some paintings of some frontier related junk for this one

Disney stopped selling toy guns in like, 2008? So surprised it lasted this long. Saying that, I wish it would be used for something all guests could utilize. Typical Disney again. Still have the Frontierland candy store closed, the hat shop, all the bazaar shops in Adventureland. Take more away and replace with even less.

The blessing of size. Again.

Because the people who run The Walt Disney Company hate Walt Disney and everything he stood for.

“There’s enough land here to replace all the original attractions we could possibly imagine.”

Just as Walt would have wanted.

Disgusting practice. Truly.

They still have guns on Tom Sawyer Island ! At least last I checked

I like the Shootin Arcade but my kids don't and from how empty it is it doesn't seem like very many others do either. It's so far down the list of things to do at MK that it doesn't even make the list of rated things to do at MK and that list has everything including the Frontierland Hoedown, Flag Retreat, and Casey's Pianist. https://touringplans.com/magic-kingdom/attractions/our-ratings

Still, at least half a dozen other options exist. They don’t have to rip out an opening day attraction to do this. That’s not the reason they’re closing it.

RIP

It's official.

Seems they could update it in some politically correct way. Put in the little pop-gun style from midway mania?

 

[HauntedPirate]

The team in charge of finding "problematic" things strikes again. I wonder what's next on their hit list?

Walt said Disneyland would never be completed!

 

[MK-fan]

Geez, Disney just doesn’t care destroying MK piece by piece. This is just senseless since they have so much space. Disneyland put there’s in an empty Innoventions building. The all mighty dollar continues to always win over guest satisfaction, Drain the Disney exec swamp please.

It's too bad there are more people talking about how they love this in the forum than actually using it in the park. I suspect that's a big part of why it's not hanging around.

I never actually used it because I kept forgetting it existed.
