Overview
- Site crews began visible underground utility work in early June 2026, placing long purple reclaimed‑water pipes and bright blue potable‑water lines into trenches across the graded pad.
- A concrete retaining wall has been extended from the edge of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to the former Liberty Square Riverboat launch to define a new waterway and allow lower ride elements to be hidden.
- Large gray stormwater pipes and box culvert sections are staged on site while trucks keep hauling dirt and grading the valley where the off‑road rally attraction will sit.
- Disney moved its perimeter construction panels on June 2, 2026, pulling part of the Frontierland boardwalk into the work zone and altering guest circulation and sightlines seen from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
- Public filings set a 2028 deadline for core infrastructure for Piston Peak and nearby Villains Land, and reporting places the land’s opening window in late 2028 to mid‑2029 pending completion of these systems before vertical and show work begin.
