I know you posted this awhile ago, but i was wondering if you could expand on this? Or were you referring to the 35th anniversary stuff? I'm just curious!

LOL - that comment was an attempt to get the thread back on track, since it's the TDR expansion thread.
TDL and TDS are both undergoing big expansions as we speak. TDL is getting the Beauty and the Beast miniland, Baymax ride, new theatre, new Minnie meet, new park entrance. TDS is getting Soaring, the giant Fantasy Springs land, and the new hotel. And more is coming for TDL. We should hear about the next expansions for TDL once the current one opens in 2020.

I kinda expect TDL to do with ROA the same thing they did with the Speedway.LOL - that comment was an attempt to get the thread back on track, since it's the TDR expansion thread.
Build new Tokyo-exclusive rides on the huge plot of land to increase park capacity

I could see that happening. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a land themed around ancient Greece or Egypt put somewhere in TDS.

Golden Week is going to get even nuttier next year with the Emperor abdicating.

It's not clear yet just how much of the film will be new, but OLC has touted new scenes just for TDS.

Emperor Akihito is stepping down in April during Golden Week. I assume lots of people will be visiting Tokyo for the various imperial ceremonies.
Sounds like ROA is in for an extensive refurbishment. I imagine the river will be drained, track will be replaced, and the Mark Twain refreshed. While not enough time for major thematic changes, this should cement ROA’s place in TDL for the upcoming decades.
It did get me thinking about what OLC could do if they wanted to bring new life to this area, given their trend of reimagining classics. One thing that surprised me was that TDL only has one ship on the rivers. Adding a second ship would be an easy way to increase capacity. I think the Columbia would be appreciated there.
The railroad does have space for a second diorama as it hugs the park’s perimeter. It would be interesting to see scenes inspired by WRE.

Decades? This is not Florida.
Extensive refurbs are common and essentially meaningless on the longevity of an attraction in Tokyo. I very strongly suspect Rivers of America is in line to be a mid-term casualty, unless a Tomorrowland expansion happens next.
However, that is at least several years off and OLC has no qualms with spending on something that will still be around in 6 months, let alone a few years. Something around for decades they'll refurbish a good dozen times.
