Piston Peak Construction Pushes Forward at Magic Kingdom With Concrete Pours and New Frontierland Walls

The Cars‑inspired land has no announced opening date, signaling a long build.

Overview

  • Frontierland’s boardwalk picked up new plywood walls near Big Al’s on Thursday, narrowing the side path that remains open to guests.
  • Crews pumped concrete near the former Liberty Square Riverboat Landing and advanced retaining walls along the boardwalk, with rebar left exposed for the next pours.
  • Disney plans to keep the Riverboat Landing building and repurpose it within the new area.
  • Permits indicate Big Al’s kiosk and the Westward Ho food cart are expected to close for the expansion, though both locations are still operating.
  • Piston Peak National Park will introduce two original attractions that differ from California’s Cars Land, including a family experience with Ranger J. Autobahn Woodlore and a rally race‑style ride, following last year’s removal of Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Square Riverboat.
