Hopefully it's not a Will Smith Land.
A four story, 255 ft, show building. This was a big bad behemoth would have housed three attractions, a restaurant, and railroad scenes that would have given Disneyland a run for it’s money.

Is the cliff pueblo just a facade or can guests go in there?

There’s some info on the runaway train, and very little on the canoes and restaurant.
I'm more concerned that Haunted Mansion's queue is uncovered and this is FLORIDA!While we're discussion the exterior- Let's also talk about how the size would compare to the rest of Magic Kingdom.
A lot of people noticed that it was a massive show building - but very few concept what 255 feet would have done for the Magic Kingdom skyline.
Splash is 87 feet, Cinderella Castle is 189 feet, Space is 183 feet, and Thunder is 197 feet.
In other words, this would have absolutely dominated everything in the park.
Now, going further into that. At the time of Cinderella Castle's construction, any structure taller than 190 feet tall would have required a red, flashing aircraft beacon on top of it.
As time went on that was expanded to 200 feet, but that would still require some sort of strobe light on this structure.
Again, no news on how that would've happened - but what in interesting showpiece challenge to have a red blinking light make sense in Frontierland's story timeline.
Anyone have any thoughts as to how they would thematically pull it off?
