Is the Stitch theatre empty? Can it be restarted? I did not enjoy the show (compared to Alien Encounters) but it's better than an empty building. I know many will disagree on here.

it’s remarkable how little they changed it!.

In all fairness they made massive changes. All that were left were the main walls and foundations. And roof.

Good point. I suppose I meant something like, “it’s remarkable how, despite the massive changes they made, the basic architecture was still so recognizable to an amateur like me.”

Lol something like that. But yes, the basic premise and appearance is the same as December 1971.

You can change the roof, but you can’t hide!

I wonder if it still smells like a Pizza Hut inside...

It’s currently a break room for cast members. The animatronics have been gutted and skinned so its not likely to open just because they’d have to rebuild and redo a lot of things in it.

Also, it was a terrible attraction.

At opening in 1971, Diamond Horseshoe was considered part of Liberty Square. Not sure when that changed.

The Disney maps say so, too.

There's an entire subreddit just for stuff like this, and I spend way too much time looking at stuff on it lol.

Well I would have lost a Disney Parks Trivia game on that one! I guess I’ve always assumed it was considered Frontierland cause of the theme and the location in Disneyland.

Park maps flipped flopped between labeling it as Frontierland or Liberty Square, but in terms of physical location it's Liberty Square.

The kitchen is shared with LTT and the building is bookended by the former Tri Corn Hat Shoppe on the West side.

Here's a guidebook from 1983 showing Diamond Horseshoe in Frontierland.

And a current web search digs up this result...

Here's a big map from the 70s that lists Diamond Horseshoe Revue as being part of Liberty Square.

But here's another old map that's really confusing. It has the building listed as "Frontierland" but color coded as part of Liberty Square

Frontierland certainly makes more sense for what was in the building. It was very much a Frontierland show and not a Liberty Square one.

Why is Tricorner Hats, an obvious Revolutionary named shop, further 'West' than Diamond Horseshoe, and selling "Western hats"?

The whole Liberty Square to Frontierland theme has always been a mess. A Mississippi river boat that goes through Arizona and is part of and docked in Liberty Square next to a gothic New England attraction that sometimes has M&G characters with a deep Southern drawl. Diamond Horseshoe going back and forth between Liberty Square and Frontierland. And the constant confusion of Southern with Old West. Not to mention the usual theme park schtick in which the wares of a shop have nothing to do with the theme of its land or facade (cf. Christmas shop in Liberty Square).
