Piston Peak National Park

A tower crane is now visible at the center of the Piston Peak construction site, rising above the graded terrain and signaling the start of vertical construction. The aerial overview captures the full extent of the site relative to the surrounding Frontierland and Liberty Square areas, with the crane positioned in the interior of the land where the main show structures are planned.

Sand grading and fill work continues throughout the site, with the drainage pipe sections visible in late June now completely buried under the graded earth. Fill is being placed between the existing Frontierland grade and the Piston Peak retaining wall, with sand also being excavated from the berm adjacent to the Haunted Mansion for use on the site. A wide overview captures the full Piston Peak and Villains Land construction zone, with the retaining wall and graded terrain clearly visible relative to the surrounding park.

The retaining wall running parallel to the Frontierland boardwalk is nearly complete, with the final section still being cast near the former Riverboat Landing. Crews have poured and graded sand in the wide space between the wall and the construction walls in front of Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, where a green conveyor belt runs over the wall to bring in additional fill. Near the center of the site, sections of drainage pipe with vertical concrete ends are staged and ready to be buried, and utility work including potable and reclaimed water lines is visible across the graded land.

A crane and smaller retaining walls are visible near the former Liberty Belle dock, with the full construction site stretching across the former Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island footprint. Concrete berms extend across the site, indicating ongoing waterway reshaping and terrain grading, and the scale of the transformation is clearly visible from the air.

The Mike Fink Keel Boat Landing demolition is now complete, with only remnant structures near the Haunted Mansion entrance remaining. A separate aerial overview captures the full Piston Peak and Villains Land construction zone, with concrete retaining walls in a stepped or angled configuration, staged materials, and heavy equipment visible across the graded land; the sheer size of the construction zone dwarfs the surrounding Frontierland and Liberty Square areas.

Tall steel fencing columns are being erected along Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to screen construction from guests, with a recently cast concrete retaining wall for Piston Peak visible at the bottom right of the frame. Labeled imagery identifies the Utilidor access point, displaced tree storage, and the filled-in Rivers of America service canal.
