Overview

• Disney added permanent overhead fans in the covered standby area to improve airflow after sustained guest complaints about heat.
• The new installation follows months of large temporary industrial fans that helped but did not fully solve the issue.
• Air movement declined when Rivers of America was closed and drained for a Cars-themed Frontierland expansion, with construction walls constricting the space.
• Multiple heat advisories across Central Florida this summer intensified discomfort in the shaded yet stagnant outdoor line.
• Inside the attraction, a subtle update animates a library bust, and separate talks about the stretching-room hanging figure remain under review without a decision.
