Just pointing to different concrete forms and such.I am not sure what the yellow arrows (3) are indicating at HS where I used to drop off our dog.
There are a lot of people that like tom Sawyer island as a mid day retreat. Personally, i'm with you. I'm not a fan of the island or the riverboat. That is a huge amount of real estate that is vastly underutilized.I saw those aerials last night on twitter and loved the MK ones. They always remind me that Tom Sawyer and the riverboat is such wasted real estate. I'd love to see some additions so that Frontier Land isn't dead ended over in that direction. I'm not sure they could fit an attraction over there without building out some of the island. Though it would be a perfect place for more pirate stuff, but that wouldn't be themed right.
A bridge would then force you get rid of or permanently dock the riverboat.I'm willing to be there aren't "a lot" of people that like the island when compared to the overall number of people who visit the park in any given day. I'd love to see a bridge across and more development around HM. Dreams for another day.
Or build a bridge it could go under. A tunnel would also work.A bridge would then force you get rid of or permanently dock the riverboat.
True but if you build something on the island that is a major draw it would then have to be a sizable bridge or tunnel in order for traffic flow.Or build a bridge it could go under. A tunnel would also work.

Personally I’d rather them leave it more as a quiet relaxing place. They could make some changes to the island but thematically it works well and is pleasing to the eye.
Well whatever they did produced some awesome photosThey also could be flying over 3000 feet with a really good camera.

I’d prefer them to build around the river than make the island more accessible. Basically finish a loop from Splash to Haunted Mansion roughly, or really any part back there. Certainly has the land for it, just requires a train rerouting.
I know it will never happen but I would love some sort of Haunted Mansion themed bar or lounge - sort of like the equivalent of Trade Sam’s but for the HM ... and could do it like a prohibition/hidden then that leads to a tunnel to atom Sawyer Island

The Liberty Belle's dry dock is in the North Service Area. In order to get there it goes from the Rivers of America to that canal along Floridian Way then into Seven Seas Lagoon. That's why the Monorail line is so high here. From SSL, it transits the water bridge near the Contemporary to Bay Lake and then up to the dry dock area.This is very interesting. In looking via satellite images, there is a canal to possibly contend with on Floridian Way. Also, I thought I read on our boards that the Liberty Belle goes for service in the back of Rivers of America so that might be something to consider from a sight-line perspective.
I am trying to think of what attractions, if any, would fit with the theming between Big Thunder and Haunted Mansion on this loop; I am drawing a blank.
