In photos taken from the highest point of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we spotted more dirt and concrete work preparing Piston Peak for future foundation and structural work.
Piston Peak Dirt & Concrete Work
Foundation work is rapidly underway for Piston Peak at Magic Kingdom. With additional dirt and concrete work progressing, the flattening of the land could indicate that we will begin seeing true foundation and structures going up soon.
The first concrete was poured just days ago and has now dried. This new concrete could be part of the foundation or ride path of the off-road attraction coming to the land. According to a newly published patent application, guests will be able to adjust several elements of their ride experience. This includes being able to control things like speed, direction, and acceleration, as well as avoiding or engaging obstacles. That could mean navigating the car around rocks or riding over bumps to make the experience more exhilarating.
Additional concrete was poured near the boardwalk in Frontierland. The concrete was poured into forms that we originally reported on several weeks ago. However, since the forms are at a much lower elevation compared to Big Thunder Mountain above, this section of the work could be used for mechanical purposes or to support the actual ride structure above it.
The ongoing Piston Peak expansion is taking over the footprint of Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island, as part of a 14-acre expansion of Magic Kingdom that also includes an area behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad themed to Disney Villains.
