Rumor Pecos Bills to be rethemed?

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Do you think they’d rename Frontierland? I feel like the recognizability is too strong. Nearly 70 years of Frontierland being a thing (starting with the original, of course), it would be strange to throw it out. What would they even call the new land? Desertland? Southernland? I guess Westernland from overseas could work, but I really think Frontierland should stay

Frontierland in DLP is called Thunder Mesa..

The South was the frontier at one time.

Was it the frontier during Reconstruction or when the bears were singing songs from the 1950s?

Frontierland was never a literal term to abide by. It was always a land that represented America’s past. Rural midwestern and southern USA.

So, if I now live in rural Georgia, I'm in the Frontier?

The only difference between Frontierland 1971-2023 and Frontierland today is the visual intrusion of Bayou Adventure. I think they could’ve tweaked the facade in a way that didn’t change things too much but also just enough for the new theme. As is, it looks like it belongs in Adventureland.

So, the frontier never had 60 foot hills covered in vegetation?

Perhaps it's just a fault in nomenclature. "American Adventure" would have been quite apt.

Prior to the 1860's. They dont teach much history these days do they... insufficient feels.

Lets leave it that the Disney company is quite lacking in historical, geographic, and temporal authenticity to get things to somewhat cohesively mesh together. They pick and choose what to identify and ignore. Such items like ignoring the whole feudal princess paradigm basis ...

Well, you know me. I'm just a Disney hater. So any chance I get to make points against Disney for their lack of thematic cohesion, I take it!!!!

No?

The town in Frontierland is Thunder Mesa, not the land name

Yeah I know that, but they were saying that was the name of the land. Or at least that’s how I interpreted it in context of being a reply to a post talking about keeping the Frontierland name

There are no sacred cows anymore within Disney.

Wasn’t Walt pretty clear that he never intended any sacred cows? Keep changing, growing, adding, and not looking back too far very often?

A Disney bus driver told me that Pecos Bills will be rebranded to the first Popeye’s Chicken on Disney property.

I agree! It’s about time that Main Street USA was replaced to reflect more marketable concepts that will drive guest spending and better incorporate IP.

Great! How about that theatre idea and we get some fun IP in there?

It's just the name of the fictional town within the land itself..Which was also the intended attraction The Western River Expedition for Frontierland in MK in the spot where TBA and BTM stand...

Disney Avenue: Disney That Never Was: Thunder Mesa and the Western River Expedition

Real talk, a theater on Main Street that could house a few simulation theaters that rotate out show would be awesome. It’d be a great way to give attractions to characters and franchises that might not be strong enough for a permanent one. Could even use it for fan service by recreating old rides or something.

Well yeah, I know that, but I was talking about the land name. Frontierland, like how Fantasyland is Fantasyland despite being home to many fictional locations.

Why not Timmys' ? Same Canadian company.

With all the changes coming to Frontierland, Pecos Bill will feel more and more out of place. I say knock it down and build a Tiana's Palace sit-down restaurant in its place.

All for Tiana's, but I still stand by it should be a QS so that those unable to get reservations at CRT or BOG can still enjoy a Princess themed meal in the Castle park.

They could just as easy turn it into something themed to the attached Country Bears. A Hungry Bear 2.0 with BBQ like in California. If that area of Frontierland is going for a Northwest national park vibe like the concept art suggests, it would fit perfectly.
