Fire Mountain

News Today had a great show yesterday where they talked about "Fire Mountain". It was originally conceived as a "Atlantis" ride for Fantasyland and then eventually it was rethemed for Adventureland. Perhaps Disney can still use this idea for "Moana Mountain".

The first photo shows its Adventureland location behind Pirates. They planned to get rid of the clock tower for Pirates to make a narrow pathway similar to Indy's in Disneyland.

I'd love to see something like this built for an adventureland expansion but I wouldn't count on it unfortunately. We can dream though

Yeah definitely, that would be awesome.

The lagoon seen in the first picture is Seven Seas Lagoon.

Interesting. Would definitely change the sight lines

I believe it had come up a little while ago of rumors of this project resurfacing - but then I think they were shot down

That said, a lot of projects at Disney get revisited at some point and I think this would be a great addition to MK and would expand the footprint/be an additional attraction rather than redoing something that is already there

Small thing but I wonder how it would be knowing there is the volcano pool theme at the Poly, and then this other volcano in view but not connected

Orlando has a volcano epidemic, between the one at poly and volcano bay at universal, this would make central Florida rival Polynesia with volcano issues

Lol, I took some screenshots as well.

LOL, that is funny.

I was so surprised by the podcast's photos and in depth look. I just needed to share some of the images. I even used an old photobucket site I haven't used in years.
