Overview

• New aerial images and video show the Rivers of America fully drained with heavy machinery reshaping the Tom Sawyer Island area behind newly expanded construction walls.
• Fort Langhorn has been demolished, with rubble visible on the island’s north section, while Aunt Polly’s was torn down and Superstition Bridge was recently removed.
• The Liberty Belle riverboat is docked at a Magic Kingdom service marina north of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, where it has remained since its final July run.
• Disney’s replacement plan features the Cars‑inspired Piston Peak National Park with a marquee attraction akin to Radiator Springs Racers plus a separate family ride, alongside a planned Villains Land on the site’s north island.
• Disney has not announced opening dates for the new lands, with industry watchers suggesting a multi‑year build that could push completion toward 2028.
