The totem poles that sat on the banks of Rivers of America in Magic Kingdom are now gone as the area is transformed into a Cars expansion.
Rivers of America Totem Poles Removed
The trio of totem poles were near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. They faced the river so were mostly visible to guests on Liberty Square Riverboat. As of Friday, December 5, the poles are gone.
Around their former location are markers, pipes, and cones as crew members prepare to construct new buildings and landscaping details.
For comparison, below is the same area with the totem poles just two days ago.
And below is a picture of the totem poles from before the Rivers of America and Liberty Square Riverboat closed.
The river, riverboat, and Tom Sawyer Island closed permanently this summer. They will be replaced by a Cars expansion to Frontierland and a Disney Villains Land. Check out a recent aerial construction update.
