Possible Frontierland expansion

[bhg469]

If they keep selling those things at this rate the land will be paid for by then!

I think there is an inflated demand right now but it probably won't last more than a year or two.

This is surprisingly well thought out. With some tweaks to account for back stage areas (trash compactors and such) I think at least some parts of this would be entirely workable. Granted none of this is likely to ever happen in the near future but it's kind of exciting to consider what the park might look like 20 years from now.

I can see the park looking very similar to what it looks like now, in 20 years. I remember when I was a kid in the 80's I couldn't wait to see what the Magic Kingdom would look like as an adult. Well, let's just say not a lot has changed.

Agree but they have also set the price point perfectly. So long as they keep it just affordable enough many will go... oh I've heard of those!... cool! Buy.

@marni1971 has indicated that something is coming to WDW -- perhaps even being announced at D23 this year?!? -- that isn't in Tomorrowland. Fantasyland could be a possibility, but very unlikely given that was the last expansion. We've heard no buzz about Liberty Sq and Main Street never gets much love. So, it seems likely that either Frontierland or Adventureland could be getting something in the near future; perhaps it is just a Tiki Bird replacement though, but I'm hoping there might be a honest to goodness expansion.

@tirian didn't seem to believe anything for Frontierland was on the table anytime soon, Fantasyland had it's "expansion", changes to Tomorrowland aren't being announced yet (looks like more years of Stitch being seasonal when they likely could have had his replacement open already), so it has to be something in Adventureland unless they decide to surprise us. Tiki Bird replacement? Maybe the Haunted Mansion themed restaurant?

I'm just saying, there's nothing for them to "learn" like you stated before. If anything, they WANT things to get sold out. It's the sign of a hit

The problem with that theory is that Disney cannot sell them and make money when they are sold out. I am sure they would be happy to be selling them now, instead of losing 30-45 days worth of sales. It not like Disney is selling them on eBay.

They're probably extremely upset that they only had a small amount of the one product that everyone is demanding.

Oops, I just saw this is the Frontierland thread and we are talking about Pandora.

I assume there is still no Frontierland update happening.

Could it simply be that it's a Night Parade coming to MK that will be announced?

I doubt it

This better just be for the 4th. All of a sudden walking through frontierland the country bears appear to be throwing a rave. Don't we already have this in TL?

They do this on rare nights I remember it for the last overnight event the mk did.

Maybe since it's absolutely packed 51k according to one of the cms. Not sure how true that is but they also said it wasn't quite as bad as they were expecting

 

[doctornick]

Might this be relevent to this thread?

They're not. Again, I believe it's for infrastructure works behind the mountain that will impact its operation.

If they are doing infrastructure work behind Splash, could it be for some sort of expansion in Frontierland?

 

[Goob]

Man, that has me excited. I don't want to get my hopes up, but a Frontierland expansion would be awesome.

51k seems kinda low for tonight 40/50k is what MK hits on a regular basis.

I was there at about 5pm and it was raining. It wasn't heavy but it was enough that people were leaving in mass. The parking lot wasn't much different than an average early June day either and I'd argue that it was fairly empty with all things being considered. On the plus side it was nice to experience Carousel of progress with a full theater.
