Frontierland

 

Howdy, partners! If you are looking for some wild adventures in the wilderness, you have come to the right place. This shows America in the days when it was still settling. But your cowboy boots on and get tappin', because there's a;ways a thrill around the corner here whether it be a runaway mine train or wet water ride.

Crossing over from the Castle Gardens, you are immersed in an old west town called Thunder Springs. To the right near the border to Salem Square is Westward Ho, Trading Company. To the right is Davy Crockett Cantina, Thunder Springs Trading Post, and Country Store. In front of you when you walk in is Grizzly Hall, where the Country Bear Jamboree performs. On the other side of that building is The Golden Horseshoe Saloon. Near the entrance to Adventureland is the Frontierland Shooting Gallery and Prospector's Picks. From there is a bridge heading over to the island where you can ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Cowboy Cookout is near the bridge to the ride on the opposing side of the Golden Horseshoe.

Near the water's edge is a dock where you can board a raft to Tom Sawyer Island. Further down by the river is the Mountain Man Mercantile Building, Golden Nugget Outpost, and Western Wears. Behind that is the Golden Gulch Restaurant. Around this area is where you can board the Mark Twain Riverboat for a scenic tour of Frontierland and Salem Square.

Further east of this is Woody's Roundup, a restaurant inspired by Toy Story. Further east from that is Splash Mountain, an extended version of the Magic Kingdom's counterpart. The ride exits into Splashdown Shop, a gift shop selling merchandise themed to the attraction. On the other side of the mountain is where you can board the Disneyland Railroad, which departs to Main Street from that station.

This area took some time to think about. I originally was planning to have a New Orleans area, but I eventually chose not to do it. I also notice how this area is a lot like the Magic Kingdom version of the land, but I guess that's not too much of a problem. I guess I was just trying to put in some variety. Splash Mountain here would keep the Song of the South theme that the original versions of the attractions have. I just do not see something like The Princess and the Frog being the theme for a log flume thrill ride. Plus, I know that there will be a lot of parkgoers who want it to stay the same. I think that they should at least keep one of the American versions of the attraction the same. I believe that it is a classic attraction and is under attack by racial tension. The ride doesn't promote tensions or poorly perceive other races, so it should be allowed to stay even though its background may be complicated.

  1. I agree with your opinion on Splash Mountain. I think it’s a great idea to keep one the same and retheme the other one. I wish they would do that. Your argument was well said—‘complicated’ is a good word to describe the background. Woody’s Roundup sounds like such a cute restaurant! I can see it being very popular! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is one of my favorite rides-I feel like having it on an island would just add to the thrill and excitement. Well done!
