Imagineering Taps MLC Theming in Permit for Former Keel Boat Landing at Magic Kingdom

The contractor’s scenic expertise suggests the long-closed dock will be re-themed rather than removed.

Overview

  • The new filing covers general construction at the Keel Boat Landing next to The Haunted Mansion entrance.
  • MLC Theming is named on the permit, a firm known for scenic painting, aging of structures, facade fabrication, and rock work.
  • The dock dates to the Mike Fink Keel Boats attraction, which closed in 2001, and later functioned as extended queue space for The Haunted Mansion.
  • Construction walls previously appeared around part of the building as site work advanced for the Frontierland overhaul.
  • Piston Peak is replacing Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island and is reported to feature two attractions, including an off-road rally race ride.
