Piston Peak to Replace Frontierland as Visible Construction Advances at Magic Kingdom

Disney’s silence on attractions, dining, opening plans is fueling speculation.

Overview

  • Disney has officially named the new land Piston Peak, themed to Planes: Fire & Rescue, replacing Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland.
  • Construction walls, cranes, and heavy equipment are now prominent on the park’s western side, signaling active demolition and site work.
  • Coverage frames the project as a full reimagining rather than a routine refurbishment, marking a major thematic shift from the Old West setting.
  • Beyond the name and limited concept art showing forested peaks, ranger stations, and aviation facilities, Disney has not announced rides, restaurants, or a timeline.
  • Fans are openly speculating about potential attractions and dining, including an aerial rescue simulator, a family dark ride or water experience, and firefighter- or ranger-themed eateries, with reactions ranging from excitement to concern.
