    Disgusting. Sad to see the short sidedness that has become Disney. Grasping at anything to “compete” instead of remaining the leader in the theme park industry. Ride Tiana’s one time and be depressed. Bring back some imagination instead of losing vision. Disney was all about family. Now is a mere shell. Roller coasters do not make a theme park. The new was wears off quickly leaving a bored, uninterested public. Disney goes downhill. How disappointing.

      Piston Peaknisnt a rollercoaster, it will be even more beautiful than a two inch river😂 if you don’t like Disney, don’t go,it’s that simple

        No Piston Peak is coming. It’s a hoax. And If I don’t like what Disney does I take it over and make it great again.

    Change is part of life. Everything changes. While this area was “iconic” whenever there at park, very few people we riding on riverboat, and ever fewer on TS Island. Space is space, and if not being used, let’s move on to something that the people want. Walt Disney said it best, “Keep Moving Forward”

      Change is not part of my life and the Rivers of America is not being removed. It’s open right now and no Cars is ever coming. Pixar is leaving the parks due to Disney being broken up as a monopoly. When I take over Disney, change will no longer be a thing in the parks. Also the idea of “Kee Moving Forward” died with Walt. There is no imagination left in the world. I will replace “Keep Moving Forward” with “Make Disney Great Again” and take the parks backwards and they will become stagnant and locked in the 20th century. No more new things will be added again unless it’s old things being brought back. I will cater to Disney purists and traditionalists with kids experiencing the same parks as their parents and grandparents.

        What planet do you people live on, you took the time to write a load of bull for what?? That’s 2 mins of your time you will never get back

          Yes. Any everyone who read it is dumber for doing so.

        It’s the truth and no Cars is ever coming. I have a Time Machine like Doc Brown and was at the 75th in 2046. I have the receipts. Why do I have my photo on the Liberty Belle with a date stamp of October 1, 2046? And you will show proper respect to a military man. You take orders from me, do you understand? I ask you a question, you scream “Yes Sir!” Yes Disney is being broken up and my folks in Congress are leading the motion. It’s going to be so much fun watching Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars erased from the parks along with the whole Iger era. The parks will be treated as private clubs under me for the purists. You’re not welcome at WDW and are the type of guest considered undesirable.

  3. My kids, now in their 20s, loved running around Tom Sawyer Island. We made a lot of memories there, and I’m sad to see it go. Underutilized space means a moment with fewer people and very little waiting in line. That’s still needed at WDW. However, I will say that Cars Land at Disneyland was our favorite area. Spent most of our time in that area.

      But I bet they weren’t in Frontier Land? Cars weren’t in the Frontier, so unless I’m missing something here they are changing the themes to the park without saying anything. That doesn’t sit well with me at all.

      Except the Island is still open in WDW and Disney has no right to remove it. No Cars is coming and it will be gone in DCA when Disney is broken up and has to remove Pixar from the parks.
