Rivers of America Construction Walls Expand as Frontierland Transformation Continues
More beige scrim and scaffolding have gone up around the drained Rivers of America at Magic Kingdom, signaling the next phase of work on the area’s major reimagining. The new construction walls now line much of the Liberty Square and Frontierland piers, with several sections extending into the former riverbed itself.

The Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island closed permanently in June, and the river was drained soon after. Crews have since removed portions of the old track near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and added new concrete work near Aunt Polly’s. Around 2,000 fish from the river were safely relocated to Seven Seas Lagoon before construction began.

This extensive project will ultimately transform the area into a Cars-themed expansion for Frontierland, bringing Radiator Springs to the riverside. For now, guests can expect ongoing walls and scaffolding through the coming months as Disney’s next big land shift takes shape.
