Overview
- Social-media photos shared June 15 showed gravel excavation and a tarp-covered cavity where crews are placing structural supports for the fourth riverbank vignette.
- The scene under active installation depicts three bison watching prairie dogs emerge from burrows, matching the placement in Disneyland Paris’s released concept art.
- Crews are doing most work overnight so the Thunder Mesa Riverboat Landing remains open and guests on the recently refurbished Molly Brown can observe progress in real time.
- This fourth vignette completes a phased refresh that began earlier in 2026 and follows earlier installations such as raccoons and a skunk on a floating tree trunk.
- Disneyland Paris says all four Marc Davis–inspired riverbank scenes should be in place by the end of summer 2026, a visible effort to put archival Imagineering concepts into the park with minimal guest disruption.
