I’m interested in world-class placemaking (as seen in New Orleans Square), regardless if it has Tiana branding or not.

You have far more faith in whatever they would do over here than I do then.

So just the corner with Big thunder is Frontierland?

No, not if anything to say about it, I have! The way I see it, they could take the back end of Pecos Bill that leads into Adventureland, which as I recall is a bit of gap anyway, and insert some New Orleans facades over there, making that the front of the Tiana restaurant. The current front of Pecos Bill could become the secondary entrance to the Tiana restaurant and retain more frontier-ish theming. And of course, they'd have to wall off the Country Bears' exit.
But then again, maybe this proposal puts the Country Bears in danger, and that's something I don't even want to think about. So maybe they build a new New Orleans area eventually to lead to the Beyond Big Thunder stuff.

Same thing could be said about creating it.

Probably nothing
But definitely not all of Frontierland.
You could separate it into different parts and have from TBA down to Pirates be like a New Orleans Sq/Bayou area and take in Pecos Bill's and Tortuga Tavern
Then Frontierland is like the Bears, Shooting Gallery, then over the bridge to Big Thunder and maybe beyond

Seems like it's less green than the renderings we saw last. And honestly still looks kind of tall and mountainous.
Also, if that's all we get about this ride at the D23 event...good Lord.

Not entirely sure that art would be any kind of a reveal. It just seems like a less realistic version of what we've already seen as the whole shape of the mountain seems different from what is actually there.

On Property this week, here now.
Visited MK today and it was interesting checking out the construction area in person.
Lots of action happening, but I do not have photos.
Quick rundown…
Looks like they are adding a walled area within the previous queue…possibly might be a planter.
Noticed this right away when viewing from above while sitting on one of the WDW Railroad trains earlier today.
Quite a few construction gents walking around the upper levels in the rockwork outside on the actual ‘mountain’.
Looked to me like the peak is stripped to the metal innards…one could see straight through the entire upper ‘tip’ of what is left of the peak.
Also, and most importantly …..
As of this afternoon, the Br’er Rabbit weather vane is still there on top of the barn entrance.
Was nice to see this still there!
I will be over there again in a couple of days, and will give an update if I spot anything seemingly ‘new’.
Will also try to grab some pix.
I will say it was very odd walking around that area of Frontierland and not hearing people screaming…
Kinda hit home the previous resident has been wiped clean from existence there….

looking at pictures of the splash finale and the stylized flowers, just different colored circles. How "realistic" will the innards be? will it be more cartoon/hand-painted/watercolor or the trap that they've laid for themselves of hyper realism that falls flat? keeping in mind this whole thing is based on a cartoon

Sad for the lack of sounds at that end of the park, but VERY happy the weather vane is still up!! Hope it remains!!!On Property this week, here now.

Don't worry, soon you'll hear the screams of all of the Tiana's Food Employees going down a waterfall near the factory where they work!
