Frontierland (Magic Kingdom)

Frontierland is one of the themed lands at Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort Orlando, Florida. Magic Kingdom's Frontierland opened in 1971 together with the park. The instance began with only three attractions: the Walt Disney World Railroad station, Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes (but closed in 1994) and the world debut of Country Bear Jamboree. Tom Sawyer Island opened in 1973. The northwestern end of the park was supposed to receive a massive, pavillion-style "E ticket" attraction, which was never built. This was also supposed to be called the Western River Expedition. The area sat empty until the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened in 1980.

Few changes would be made over the next decade. Construction of Splash Mountain began in 1991, and the western end of the land with the exception of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was demolished and rebuilt from scratch, including the existing Walt Disney World Railroad station and parade access road. Splash Mountain and a new two-story railroad station opened in October 1993. Frontierland borders Adventureland on the south, Liberty Square on the east, and the Rivers of America on the north.
