Frontierland Expansion?

[JungleSkip]

Yes, I don't understand it if that's true. Frontierland may well be the strongest lineup at the park. Tomorrowland is screaming for help.

I'm convinced they just have no clue what to do with Tomorrowland

 

[Disneyhead]

I'm going with TSI replace with Roaring Rapids (Crocasaurs probably replaced by Elsa) complete with Ropes Course out front.

Or Future World.. or even Contemporary Resort..

Things have gotten real quiet in regards to this supposed expansion. Six months have passed and nothing...any insiders have any new tidbits?

It was far fetched to begin with. I say we don't see anything even close to an expansion till mid to late 20s if ever.

My guess is that you are completely right. Unless there's a drastic future change in Disney Executive structure & personnel, I would doubt there's going to be any expansions in the near future besides the present publicly announced ones. All of these phase two and phase three talks we hear are probably as dead as a doorknob.

There were probably plans, but since things change frequently they probably shifted again. It's more important to Disney to have guests spread across the resort than it is to have most at MK.

 

[JoeCamel]

They are setting the precedent of filling in the river in DL so it may be done in the future. Most say it would go beyond the tracks but my gut says they would fill the back of the river in MK first.

 

[IzzyB]

I agree with test track. I am sure these plans were shelved because MK doesn't need something added right now. They have bigger fish to fry with DHS and Epcot. I am actually OK with them not putting something in MK for the next 5 years if it means they can fix DHS and Epcot. Now obviously with Disney speed I doubt they will fix either of those parks in a timely manner, but one could dream

Apparently the Big Thunder major refurb that was supposed to happen over the summer has been put on hold.

Yep, I would expect it is due to predicted crowd levels.

Totally get that, but at the same time a pre-New FL Magic Kingdom had Space Mt closed for a year so....

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I call BS on "crowds".

And they didn't even do a proper refurb...

 

[twebber55]

i ve never bought into this frontier land expansion
too many other things that need to be done

 

[Brian G.]

And they didn't even do a proper refurb...

Cuz I believe a proper one would have been closer to 2 years.

I can't understand the love for Space Mountain. I thought it was a really uncomfortable, rough, not anything special coaster. I won't ride it anymore.

Have you ridden better Space Mt in Disneyland?

I haven't ridden a lot since the kids were born, but now my 5 yo is tall enough and I have to ride it ALL the time. I rode it 3 times on Sunday. It is fun, I like Thunder Mountain better though.

Never been to Disneyland. I don't particularly care for LA. I was there for business a few times and was not impressed, so I have no desire to vacation there.
