Rivers of America Drained as Piston Peak Work Enters Riverbed

Disney has not announced opening dates for Piston Peak or the planned Villains area.

Overview

  • The waterway between Frontierland and Tom Sawyer Island is now dry, progressing from puddles earlier this week to a fully drained riverbed.
  • Construction equipment has moved into the exposed channel to start the next phase of site work for the Cars-themed expansion.
  • A mesh barrier beside Tiana’s Bayou Adventure appears to have failed, with footprints in the mud indicating Imagineers are assessing the area.
  • Draining has revealed support structures and unpainted rockwork under the bridge near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure that are normally hidden from guests.
  • Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat closed last month, the Liberty Belle sits intact backstage, and removed props are being sorted for archiving or disposal.
