However, a new set of images from theme park eye in the sky <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bioreconstruct\/status\/1977901721432027551\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Bioreconstruct;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Bioreconstruct<\/a> confirms that the Liberty Belle is still in one piece, or at least was a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I honestly breathed a sigh of relief at seeing this image. There had been some rumors that the Liberty Belle had already been demolished, so seeing that it is still intact just makes me feel better. It may be gone from Magic Kingdom as an attraction, but the ship lives on. Of course, the fact that it is still in one piece makes one wonder, are there plans for it in the future?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">I Hope Disney World Finds Another Way To Use It<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Maybe tearing the Liberty Belle apart would simply take more work than Disney World wants to put into the task at the moment. Or perhaps the reason it hasn\u2019t been taken apart already is that there are plans for the ship to live on in some way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don\u2019t pretend to know what those plans could be. Everything we know about plans for Piston Peak is that the Liberty Belle won\u2019t be part of it. In fact, with the <em>Cars<\/em> theme, I have no idea how it would make sense for the boat to be back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, Walt Disney World is an awfully big place, so the possibility exists we could see it again somewhere else. I certainly hope that\u2019s the plan. It\u2019s a piece of Disney World\u2019s history, and it deserves to live on in whatever way it can.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
