Go check out the Cars thread. Connecting Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and The Haunted Mansion is consistently given as a huge benefit of removing the Rivers of America.

That is a benefit but I don't think anyone is saying it's currently bad. Either way we don't need to bring that kinda attitude from the other parts of the forums to here.

What do you mean? We’ve complained about this design decision for years now about Epic.

Disneyland was the progenitor and has over decades undone their spokes with radials. There’s long been complaints - one of the few consistent areas of support on the galaxy edge build was its circular connection to get around the River. In fact there’s still a lot of people lamenting Toontown doesn’t connect to SW:GE. The ultimate spoke is Main Street and there is extreme delight about the prospect of a true second entrance.

I have complaints on TDS FantasySprings and World Showcase and Islands of Adventure. A radial is the best design for guest experience, bar none. A circle is ‘ok’ for at least exploring things in a step wise fashion. Forced doubling back most certainly is the worst choice for guest experience, it never feels good.

It's also a valid reason people are annoyed with Monsters Inc.

I'm honestly surprised Universal went with this layout.

I wonder if the expansion pads in between the four lands are why they aren't connected? If they added a path connecting the backs of SNW and Dark Universe for example, you're enclosing the expansion pads and it will add an extra complication to building (middle of the park vs access from the side)

No, the placement of everything came about as a result of the concept.
