Overview

• The Liberty Belle Riverboat was captured afloat and docked in a Magic Kingdom backstage marina in aerial images shared August 16–17 by @bioreconstruct.
• These photographs dispel recent social-media rumors that the riverboat had been demolished during the area’s rework.
• Since its July closure, the Rivers of America has been nearly drained to expose the riverbed and clear space for the Cars-themed Piston Peak expansion and a new Villains land.
• Tom Sawyer Island rafts were also relocated to the service canal alongside the Liberty Belle as part of late-July site preparations.
• Disney has issued no statement on reopening dates for the riverboat or launch timelines for the upcoming franchise-driven lands.
