Overview

• Aerial photos from @bioreconstruct show the Liberty Belle Riverboat intact at a backstage dock, disproving circulating claims of its demolition.
• The vessel was relocated in late July to a Magic Kingdom resort service canal near construction staging areas before being moved to the backstage marina.
• The Rivers of America has been almost fully drained since July to make way for the Cars-themed Piston Peak National Park and a Disney Villains land.
• Disney has remained silent on the riverboat’s future role, prompting speculation about its reuse for guest transport or as part of other park shows.
• Third-party aerial imagery has become the primary source for tracking Magic Kingdom attraction assets as official Walt Disney Imagineering statements remain scarce.
