Was it ever actually made? I know it was ordered but I feel like I recall it being cancelled before they every actually finished it.

There has been no shortage of great concepts from WRE on. I'm partial to a 'New Orleans Square' and 'Critter Country' being a part of the makeover*.
PS- *And relocating the parade route to make it possible.

For some people, both were and here rhyme with “fur”.

Ha! With me in charge, you're going to be dreaming for quite a while. But look on the bright side, I'm cutting expenses!
You could cut your own expenses quite a bit by staying away from WDW. Let Josh do his thing.
Possibly relating to the topic at hand: Wasn't there some talks a while back regarding a drop or freefall attraction in this area? With a story based around black gold and a cantankerous oil baron? Did I imagine this?

That was 90s Geyser Mountain. Same System as Tower of Terror
They could dust off those plans. I wouldn't mind! lol
Doh!
Well... I'd much rather that than a coaster if they were to plop something on TSI. Not that I could see it ever happening...

Out of genuine curiosity, how exactly do you propose they relocate the parade route? I honestly can't see a possible way to move it without large-scale demolition of some kind of treasured attraction and the property surrounding it... unless you mean the backstage route.

Last month I was at a really cool little amusement park in Colorado, called Glenwood Caverns. You take a gondola up a mountain to get to the park, and they have some cool looking rides(most were closed due to winter), as well as laser tag, 3D movies and cave tours. But, they had one dark drop ride...and man was it a doozy! Nothing complex but pretty cool.
Anyway nice park to check out, great people working there too.

I've thought for a long time that any parade would be a better fit in Fantasyland. So one place to build a maintenance/storage facility is behind the tents near the Fantasyland railroad station. The parade would then travel through Fantasyland, around the hub and down msusa. There are many other benefits to such a change.

The best part about the threads here is they show just how long a rumor has been around...

While I do enjoy the idea of the parade traveling through Fantasyland, it would almost surely necessitate the removal of the Mad Tea Party. I cannot see that decision being made without it being relocated and I can't envision a space to move it to unless they finally admit that Storybook Circus is a bust. Similarly, the space behind the gate would require significant reconfiguration as there is not nearly enough space for parade staging. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I believe it is 99.9% unlikely. Sorry to be a party pooper.
I'm not. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the project that resulted in the loss of TSI, infill of much of the river, and the permanent docking of the Liberty Belle. I also believe this had something to do with the Lone Ranger movie that failed spectacularly.

I was joking...
This was crap then and is still crap now. Doesn’t pass the common sense test.
I would love for them to build me new stuff In every corner of long paid off parks for my whims...but they have no reason to do it’s. Doesn’t pass the smell test.

I figured. I just like to remember that sometimes what we could have had is not worth the cost of what we already have. For me personally, Frontierland is one of my favorite overall areas in the Magic Kingdom. I would hate to lose the river and the island, even if it is only a matter of time.

Tom Sawyer island would go at some point - you would think...
But when you can increase prices AND attendance over time...what’s the incentive?

The incentive is capacity. The MK needs more rides to absorb the crowds.
Fun fact-ish - the two California parks have two-ish, three-ish less rides than all four Florida parks.
The magic bands were partially meant to better manage the crowds in Florida so Disney did not have to open new rides.
the MK could use all that land on the backside of Rivers and have a much needed park expansion.
