This rethink of that plot of land, originally slated to be a simple cactus garden with predictable wagon wheel western props, comes at the request of TDA and the hotel executives who felt the online critics had a valid point and now want some sort of water feature to pay homage to the thundering falls that the Wrather Corporation installed there 35 years ago. The Imagineers are now proposing a recreation of Disneyland’s famous “Old Unfaithful” geyser, plus the kitschy bubbling springs and burbling geysers of the painted desert that every Disneyland publicity shot of the early 1960’s seemed to include. It may not be a return of the waterfalls, but it should be a fun nod to the past and a rather unique entrance to that Frontierland-themed tower." That sounds great! And as one of the "foamers" who wrote a letter regarding the removal of the falls and voicing my opinion that these sort of details make a difference to me when planning where to spend my vacation money, I am delighted with this post. I will now duck and hide to avoid all the shots at Al and letter writing campaigns.
