Luckily, there was the nearby Pirates Of The Caribbean ride to
tide me over, wowing me with intense theming and charming set pieces. I even had a go on the
nearby Haunted House, in spite of my bad reaction to frights. The classic Splash Mountain
rounded off the New Orleans Square area, but before I could get to the quite nearby Frontier
Island, I had to trek my way all the way back around the bay. In spite of the great transport
system, it's easy to see how the sheer scope of Lazyboy's park led to a few logistical problems.
Hopefully, these sorts of issues would be ironed out in his future projects - but I wasn't going
to let this impromptu excursion discourage me, and it wasn't long before I was bounding my way
up to the Frontier Land entrance.

I took a ride on the legendary Big Thunder Mountain Railroad,
and it lived up to its reputation as one of the most exciting rides in the park. It also
afforded me great views of the nearby island, accessible only by the Davy Crockett Canoes or
Mike Fink Keel Boats, and home to the spooky Castle Rock maze. I had enjoyed Frontierland the
most out of the areas so far, partly because of its wonderful mixture of adventure, thrill
and gentle rides, but also because of the accuracy of the architecture and tangible atmosphere.
The theming was impeccable, comprising teepees, authentic run down buildings and awe-inspiring
landscaping.
