Overview
- Aerial images from @bioreconstruct show the first concrete forms at the Piston Peak National Park site on the former Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island footprint.
- The initial forms appear near the planned off-road rally attraction area, indicating progress beyond grading into permanent foundations.
- Preparations for Villains Land continue with large-scale drainage and soil stabilization, with clearing stretching behind It’s a Small World and plans calling for two attractions plus shopping and dining.
- New permits tied to work near Haunted Mansion and the former Mike Fink Keel Boats dock list MLC Theming for general construction and Mecca Productions for set elements, with excavation visible on site.
- Frontierland operations remain affected as Big Thunder Mountain’s refurbishment proceeds and the Walt Disney World Railroad runs in shuttle mode, with Disney touting new ride vehicles and refreshed Audio‑Animatronics for the coaster.
