That makes me think, a Fire Mountain could still happen- Te Ka was a huge part of Moana after all. Just make a volcano and have Te Ka inside it and boom, perfect. Maybe a boat ride instead of a roller coaster though.
I don't have any info, but I wouldn't be shocked if this was still happening in the short term they would wait until Moana 2 to announce it so they can ride that hype train
They're still utilizing tracts of new land with Villains, and for something already realized, they just did it with TRON. That TSI is being replaced says nothing about their willingness or unwillingness to use new space; rather, it says something about how they want space utilized in general. Personally, I'd almost rather they focus on some of the existing real estate, especially in Tomorrowland.
That was a very good question
All new space? So the entrance to the land is further than Haunted Mansion. If it's *all new* then means it's not where any part of River's of America is including in the back. Not saying it won't have additional space but saying all is new ...
1. They are building beyond big thunder. That was not a farce or a lie. Cars was never sold to us as a Beyond project, it was made clear that it was Frontierland during the presentation. Villains is the first phase of Beyond construction. Yes it appears it will share some of the previous river space, but it will most certainly spill over into new plots. Multiple insiders have confirmed more will go back there they just don’t know what right now. That they’re doing Villains this way suggests a want to leave room Beyond for further future development.
Good point with Tron, that's the best argument against. At that point it likely was more cost effective then dealing with SM or other areas, but agree pure expansion can be done with right circumstances. Also agree, now there's no reason not to remove the Speedway particularly for later expansion.
1. The land that was teased as "Beyond" Big Thunder isn't being used. The land being used is partially "Beyond" Haunted Mansion, with the rest of villains and the entirety of Cars being the ROA area. Cars pretty much is Beyond Phase 1, given Coco nor Encanto actually happened but this did in its place. And in that case, it's a slight expansion north and largely being a replacement, not the teased area where Cars could have gone actually "Beyond" the ride. Maybe they go back to that lot for "Phase 2" (assuming Villains isn't Phase 2 already, imo it is), but we know what happens with promised Phase 2s.
"Westward Ho!" means something totally different than "Westward, Ho!"
This got a good chuckle out of me
I wish Mater said "Dang Nabitt" "Dang SHOOT" to Josh D'Amaro and for IGER at D23! No International Pistachio Ice Cream World Grand Prix at Epcot, no Ornament Valley Radiator Spring's Beyond, no Florida Daytona Speedway at Tomorrowland.
