Rivers of America have finally finished their construction!! There are so many things that they changed it’s crazy! Courtesy of Disney Park Blogs they have mad a list of the changes and additions they made to the wild frontier.
Here’s a recap of some of the major changes:
The area was themed in a brand-new way and divided into four regions to resemble the areas around four U.S. rivers: the Mississippi, the Columbia, the Potomac and the Rio Grande.
A new, 2,500-foot track for the Mark Twain Riverboat and the Sailing Ship Columbia was installed for the first time since the park opened in 1955.
For the first time, live animals have been introduced to the banks of the river, and a corral was built just for them. Don’t miss the real, live horse in the video. It’s real – it’s not an Audio Animatronic!
The burning cabin was re-themed. The new resident of the cabin is none other than Mike Fink, Davy Crockett’s rival and later his friend. Mike Fink’s Keel Boat can now be found in front of the cabin.
There are several new scenes in the attraction, including:
Deer drinking from a creek
Native American braves on Tom Sawyer Island
Raccoons spied by a skunk
Mountain lions hiding in the grass

I got to ride the Mark Twain recently around these new Rivers of America, and I have to say that the work they did is great. But then I always enjoy a trip in the River.
