Possible Frontierland expansion

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Adventureland also has a Jasmine M&G, just FYI.

They could move the carpet spinner ride from from MK to Morocco in EPCOT.

Spinner? Phbtbtbt. I want the carpet ride to go through the tight alley ways and shops of the Moroccan Pavilion like for Donald Duck in PhilharMagic.

Oh, that reminds me: There's an Aladdin presence in PhilharMagic!

Right. Do they have a Genie M&G anymore? I have a picture from one of my 90s trips with him, but it might have been from a character breakfast.

Absolutely not. Nope.

I'm with you on that carpet thrill ride (Just maybe not in Epcot). When MK has Dumbo and the Astro Orbiter, it really didn't make sense to add the third. Especially now that there are two Dumbo spinners.

For those that never seen it

Not a particularly good show. One of the few weak points at DisneySea.

So if the Frontierland expansion that was talked about a year ago isn't happening, at least that specific iteration, what was it going to be? Posters in the know say it was for the better.

There were several options considered. One was to build a ride on TSI and link it to the mainland with a permenant bridge.

Any vague hint or clue as to the IP it would have been tied to?

I'll let someone else mention it.

I thought it was suggested that it could have been Indy, but that also could have just stemmed from armchair imagineering ideas here.

I remember hearing rumors that were going to tie Fronteirland into an Oz area focused on the James Franco movie until that movie underperformed. Was that an actual proposal?

I didn't hear that one.

Could've just been a bus driver rumor than. I can't even remember where I read it

Possibly. But don't take what I say as gospel!

Lone Ranger?

That was a Disneyland project for the Big Thunder Ranch area.

 

[britain]

EVERYthing has been considered for Big Thunder Ranch.

Oz and The Lone Ranger seemed to have some proposals floating about but both of those movies didn't do much at the box office such that it's tough to see Disney pursuing projects involving them.

The only other IP I remember being mentioned was Toy Story with a Woody's Roundup kind of theme. I could see it though that strikes me as a poor fit for Frontierland (even worse than Buzz in Tomorrowland IMHO because at least TL tends to have more whimsy) but it wouldn't surprise me.

If only they would bring back WRE. They have to know that fanboys would eat it up and proclaim it as the greatest thing ever.

While that's not ideal to me(I love Tom Sawyer island!), I could see them eventually cutting off the Fort Langhorn island and use it as a bridge to an expansion pad north of Frontierland. Eventually there needs to be some way to end the Big Thunder/Splash Mountain bottleneck...looping back around near Fantasyland or Liberty Square. That area gets way too congested.

Would this mean that they would be docking the liberty belle on rivers of America ?
