Possible Frontierland expansion

[erasure fan1]

No one would consider the loss of 20k in the mid 90s in calculating capacity.

Not to mention that 20k had a pretty poor capacity even if it was included.

Not sure I understand why it wouldn't be considered. With NFL, we basically have the same capacity that we did in 1994 regardless of how good or bad the capacity was. And that was more the point.

The noise and fumes from the speedway are so out of place in a Disney park.

But they were easier on the eyes than the speedway.

Ayy oh
Edit: my mind is currently in the gutter.

So.... is there news or new speculation about a frontierland expansion or are we effectively just bumping the thread?

It seems not

Bumping for months now.

I know I'm contributing to the problem by doing this, but can you not? Thanks.

Since this may have been missed by people here, Spirit unfortunately had this to say on the subject recently-
"Remember that alleged major Frontierland attraction coming to the MK? Yeah, me neither."

That to me sounds like this "project" is now rather definitively dead, the cuts being inflicted upon WDW maintenance and future expansion projects due to Shanghai and MM+ being to blame. Probably best to close this thread unless @whylightbulb @articos or someone else inside can say otherwise.

For the moment, all is quiet on the western front.

Disneyland Paris replaced their vehicles with Hybrids to reduce emissions:

Was the plan worse than Guardians in Tower of Terror?

Probably on a par with it if you enjoy islands and boats.

Uh oh.......

Really??? Wow, nothing is surprising me now a days.

Well, if it was something that would have docked the boats and lost the river traffic, I'm glad. I was hoping that this potential Frontierland expansion was something outside the RR berm that might ultimate provide access to the northern pieces of land above the RoA.

That's exactly how it should be. I get that they'll have to redevelop some of the existing area to make it happen, but they should be able to do it without changing the core feel. I'd rather them wait and do it right, regardless if I ever live to see it.

Is there a chance we'll ever find out what this would have been in a couple of years, through some artwork or something? Just curious...

I refuse to imagine that it could be. I'm sure I'll get flayed alive for this by the Disney purists, but Tom Sawyer Island/ROA doesn't hold a candle to ToT. (Pinot Noir makes me a little too brave/rash/verbose, and it has been a Monday.)
