I have false hope they'll save the Liberty Bell somehow and since it wasn't mentioned in it, but that hope is waning.
I mean they could work something out but idk.

I think Jack from DSNY has been suggesting docking it at Grand Floridian and I hope that's what happens because that feels like it's the easiest to do since they just have to take it out of The rivers of America and bring it out to seven seas lagoon.

Is Cars Piston peak different from what is being proposed to be built?
Nah. It seems that the setting of the Cars mini-land will be Piston Peak as seen in the Cars-adjacent movie, Planes.
See in this thread...
I know some of you may not like this idea but if Disney wants to make money and are looking for a way to keep the liberty bell, make it into a restaurant. It's not like you have to worry about it moving if it's permenatly docked behind Big Thunder or something. Plus the vibe of the restaurant would work near Tiana's too.
For the villains land bordering cars/thunder, my idea is having fake rocks resembling Red Rocks and Garden of the Gods in Colorado. The one side can be the orangish red that matches Cars and Thunder and the other can be the dark black as seen in the concept art. Plus this helps with sightlines and blends things together better imo.

A Tiana’s lounge with mint Julips and beignets perhaps?

I don’t think it’s that people would dislike it; it’s that it’s not outfitted for food service and would likely be very difficult, expensive, and impractical to convert. You’d probably be better off building something new that looks like a steamboat but is actually a building rather than attempting a retrofit.

Compared to other Disney projects? Not really. Doesn’t mean it will happen of course.
Everything about WDW is difficult, expensive and impractical when you think about it.

For me, part of the appeal of the riverboat is that it moves and goes somewhere, even if it's on a track and only for about 15 minutes. Like the WDWRR, that makes it a novelty in a time when working riverboats are not common.
Having the boat docked somewhere would preserve the vessel, but retrofitted or not, it would just become another prop.
I'd sooner have the Empress Lilly, WDW's existing riverboat restaurant, returned to her former glory.

Funnily enough, I have had gators on my front porch but have managed to avoid gators in my tent here in FL!

That BTM refurb is definitely needed, however the hidden agenda surely is to get Villains ready while BTM is down?

If that is the case, then I guess BTM is going to have to be down for literally years to come.... The Villains Land project was not supposed to open until after the Auto Parts Mountain ride...Construction will not begin until March last I read...that will probably take at least three years to build and complete....and then Villains Land after that... So I am hoping that BTM Re-track is not going to wait until Villains Land is complete....

I should rephrase this, I don’t think BTM is going to be down the entire time Villains is under construction. I’m more saying that while BTM is down it allows easy access (I assume) to the back of Big Thunder Mountain. This may be the perfect time to prep the land or do something back there to get ready for when construction does begin.

Maybe they will be adding Giant orange Sparkplugs to the top of current rock mountains... and googly eyes to the train engines.....
None.
I hear you. I can take or leave Maleficent as the theme, but as a huge coaster nut I selfishly hope that Villains Land will have the most intense coaster we've ever seen at WDW.
Like, maybe not quite the same level as VelociCoaster at Islands of Adventure, but something similar to that on a slightly smaller scale with added layers of more storytelling elements throughout and more indoor sections. Most likely would be another Vekoma custom build but would hope for a multi-launch coaster with 3 inversions. I don't know, a guy can dream, right?
Truthfully I'd be happy with ANY coaster addition to MK or any of the parks for that matter. I'm excited for the Door Coaster but am hoping for a Villains Land coaster with a bit more bite than a family suspended coaster.

I’d like to see Disney do something on the scale of Haunted Mansion, Spaceship Earth and Pirates again…. That’s what is missing.
I can get coasters in my home state. I can’t get true Disney e-ticket dark rides anywhere else.
