Disney Seals Off Frontierland Boardwalk for Piston Peak Construction

Expanded construction walls enclosing Frontierland signal a move into heavy infrastructure work without a public opening date.

Overview

  • The wooden Frontierland boardwalk was fully blocked by construction walls on Wednesday, cutting access from Liberty Square to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering has confirmed the Cars‑themed Piston Peak National Park and the two headline attractions: Cars Ridge Run Rally and Miss Fritter’s Daredevil Spin‑Along.
  • Crews have begun targeted demolition near the Haunted Mansion, including the former Ichabod’s Landing shop, and have removed nearby food and merchandise kiosks to clear the site.
  • Permit filings and recent reporting show work has moved beyond teardown into buried utilities and retaining‑wall work with outside contractors expected to continue into 2027.
  • Guests should expect altered circulation and fewer nearby amenities while Disney has not provided a reopening or grand‑opening date for the affected Frontierland areas.
