Being a theme park fan means trying to find the balance between being excited for new attractions while also embracing the nostalgia of the classics. It’s never fun to see popular rides go away because once they're torn down, that means they’re gone forever.
While Disney Parks trade on nostalgia in a big way, they also have little problem with tearing down elements of the parks once the decision to do so has been made. The massive Dinosaur figure that once loomed over Dinoland U.S.A. has reportedly already been smashed to pieces now that the land is undergoing a transformation, and I assumed the same had happened with a classic Frontierland attraction.
