World of Enchantment: Frontierland

 

Located on the northern shore of the Rivers of America is an area that further expands on American history, culture, and settlement. This is where the Wild West meets the heart of Dixie, as well as the great outdoors, all in this big area.

Entering from Main Street, guests first enter a New Orleans-themed area. Here, guests might occasionally hear Jazz Musicians playing. On the right is Crescent City Cafe, a restaurant, along with the shops Mardi Gras Merchandise and New Orleans Boutique. To the left is French Quarter Store, and more notably, Tiana's Palace, which overlooks the Rivers of America. Nearby that is the bridge to Harbor Square and the port for the Frontierland Riverboat Landing. Located further to the right is the entrance to Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which has its boarding area and final scenes on land while the "mountain" part of the ride is on an island. The ride exits into Bayou Crossing, a gift shop.
The bayou of the New Orleans area helps transition into a forest area. Here, guests can eat at the Mountain Man Inn and shop at the Trading Post. Between those two is the Country Bear Musical Revue, an updated version of the Country Bear Jamboree with new effects, new songs, and a more rustic feel to it. Across from this are some Wilderness Trails, which guests can explore. This features a playground as well as walkways to see high points nearby.
Last but not least is a Wild West area. In the center is a large geyser, which can spray guests on hot days. On the left side of the area is the Thunder Springs Shootin' Gallery and Lucky Bites, the latter of which is a snack stand. Nearby those two attractions is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, a high-octane roller coaster ride. On the right side of the town is the Silver Horseshoe Saloon and Mesa Landing, both of which are restaurants. In between them is Thunder Springs Mercantile, a gift shop. Behind the Disneytopia Railroad station for Frontierland, where trains depart for Fantasyland, is Western River Expedition. Complete with a hunt for buried gold as well as encounters with outlaws, animals, and other things, this attractions features boats that turn and move backwards, similar to the pirate ride in Shanghai.

So this is an interesting take on Frontierland, in my opinion. No Tom Sawyer Island, multiple areas of America instead of just the west, and so on. I decided to make the big water ride the center of the Rivers of America because that had never been done before. Big Thunder Mountain is on an island in Disneyland Paris, but I wanted to have mine be different from that. Of course, I had Tiana's Bayou Adventure there because that is what we have now, but I built a New Orleans area around its loading area to make it feel more in place. Of course, I miss Splash Mountain, but hopefully this will be just as good. I also threw in the new Country Bear show coming to Magic Kingdom, as well as a modification of the never-built Western River Expedition (which was supposed to be the MK's pirates before they ended up building pirates.) However, I believe that both Pirates of the Caribbean and WRE can exist in this park, but to make sure they're not too similar, I changed the ride system of the latter.
