It’s been almost a year since we said goodbye to Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom, and since then, we’ve been following the construction happening in that space that will result in a brand new Cars-themed expansion called Piston Peak.

Now, we don’t have any idea of when Piston Peak might be opening in Disney World, but we’ve been following its construction progress, and will continue to follow it from start to finish. Well, we have a brand NEW update to share with you about this expansion, thanks to some new aerial photos by @bioreconstruct. So let’s take a look at what these new photos show us.
A new aerial overview of Piston Peak shows utility work in progress on the site, as well as sand being added to fill in the area between the retaining wall and walkways in Frontierland and Liberty Square.

A second photo, which is a little more zoomed out than the first, shows that sand has also filled in the area between the retaining wall and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and more sand fill progress is happening near Liberty Square. There’s also a clearing near Haunted Mansion with plants that could be used for erosion control. See? Disney really does think about EVERYTHING.

In a third photo, you can see concrete walls beginning to form near what was once the riverboat dock, with sand going into the other end. The green thing is a conveyor that’s bringing in the sand.

A wider view shows an entire aerial view of Magic Kingdom, and you can see where construction is taking place for both Piston Peak and the Villains land expansion.

So it looks like there’s still quite a bit of work to be done to bring Piston Peak to life, but we’ll keep an eye out for more updates, so stay tuned to Magical Guides for more.
