Overview
- Construction walls, heavy equipment, and a drained Rivers of America indicate work beyond routine upkeep across the land.
- Tom Sawyer Island and the river remain closed long after “refurbishment” notices, intensifying speculation about a broader reimagining.
- Permits and site activity referenced by fan outlets point to an unannounced Piston Peak concept tied to Planes: Fire & Rescue.
- Country Bear Jamboree now features Disney film songs and Splash Mountain’s transformation to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure reflects a move away from the Old West motif.
- Fans are divided between anticipation for new IP-led experiences and concern over losing a largely non-franchise themed area.
