The Magic Kingdom will once again be under construction for a while as the new “Cars” Piston Peak and the Villains Land areas are being built.

Today, we have a look at that progress thanks to images from @bioreconstruct on X. (Please give them a like and follow!)

Cars Piston Peak

This is the area replacing the Rivers of America at the Magic Kingdom. It is located next to the Haunted Mansion and Frontierland.

Now that the area has been cleared, retaining walls are starting to go in.

Villains Land is starting to see more land preparation now that permits are filed and underway.

Villains Land is starting to develop behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

We are still years away from seeing either new section reach completion. But it will be fun to watch it grow!
