I can’t believe they replaced splash Mountain and Tom Sawyer Island with a cartoon themed road rally. There’s almost nothing left in that Park of Walt Disney except for facades, pirates and the haunted Mansion come up but they’ve already ruined the neighborhood of the haunted Mansion and they’ve got a key scenes and music from pirates. The only thing that I can think of that are original is the tiki room tropical serenade, jungle Cruise and Swiss family Robinson treehouse. Oh, and space mountain. But there’s almost no story anymore. And the Disney company is gaslighted us and lied to us. When they took out Snow White’s scary adventures and replaced it with the dwarf’s mine train they claimed that they were telling the story from the perspective of the Dwarfs which is total garbage. The dwarf’s mine train is a roller coaster with the Snow White facade and a couple of scenes. It doesn’t tell the story at all. Walt was all about story. Iger and those who have helped him are about money, period, end of story. As far as I’m concerned, these are wicked people.
Stop crying about traditionalism. There’s competition and technology advancements to make the park better. No kid cares about Frontierland. If they didn’t update everyone goes to universal and Disney fades away.
Don’t hate on Hal because he made a rational point. Not his fault Rog that your capacity to critically think got washed down the drain at the prison shower.
Disney is removing the very reasons why I loved the park. There was never anything like walking through Frontierland at night, on a summer evening. Frontierland was mental comfort food in the midst of high speed activities. What’s next, Main Street? Very sad, my reasons for ever going back are now covered by construction barriers and cement.
Disgusting. I would have been easier to expand the park and supposedly the attendance numbers would support this move. This is nothing more than destroying what Walt and Roy envisioned and built – also destroying a nod to Walts passion of Americana. Screw Disney
There’s lots of things that need to be updated. Space mountain needs a new track system, pirates could use a new overlay, the tomorrow land speedway is a smelly waste of space, etc. There’s lots of ways to go to make MK better. I understand the traditionalists don’t want it changed, but speaking as someone who has kids and young nieces, they want to see things “Disney” that they relate to, not things from our childhood. Just an opinion, and everyone is welcome to theirs.
As long as imagination still exists Dis eyland will never be completed
I think Disney would have done it long ago even big thunder, but it can’t be too big you can’t remove BTM now.
Disney is heading in the wrong direction! Those of us that have loved Disney for years will eventually stop going. I have stopped. Will not go back! Eiger really screwed it all up! Glad hes gone!!!

This isn’t even reporting. It’s common sense.

God is normally capitalized by believers and lowercased by satan worshippers and atheists

Not a fan of losing the river or what it’s being replaced with, but like the ol’ man said, it will never be complete while imagination continues…
