Overview
- The Frontierland boardwalk was fully enclosed by construction walls Wednesday, blocking the wooden path from Liberty Square to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and cutting off guest access through that stretch.
- Disney has not given a reopening date for the area and is continuing heavy site work after earlier demolition and closures that removed the Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Square Riverboat in 2025.
- Permit filings and contractor notices show the current work focuses on buried utilities and retaining walls, with authorizations and contractor assignments extending construction activity through 2027.
- Disney has announced Piston Peak National Park as a Cars‑themed land and revealed two headline rides—Cars Ridge Run Rally and Miss Fritter’s Daredevil Spin‑Along—but the company says no grand‑opening date has been set.
- Operational changes already include the removal or closure of nearby kiosks such as Westward Ho Refreshments and Big Al’s, and Disney’s concept art indicates the boardwalk will be folded into the new land and likely refurbished for future guest circulation.
