Frontierland (Disneyland Paris)



Frontierland is one of the themed lands at Disneyland Park (Paris) in France.

History
Located in the area that is traditionally occupied by Adventureland, Frontierland at Disneyland opened with Euro Disneyland in 1992. Unlike all of the other instances, this instance has an elaborate backstory concerning the town of Thunder Mesa, founded by Henry Ravenswood to support the mining of Big Thunder Mountain. This backstory also serves as the foundation for several of the attractions, such as Phantom Manor. The land is the largest of all the Frontierlands thus far, containing the entire Rivers of the Far West within its borders.

Two riverboats circle the Rivers of America, the Molly Brown and the Mark Twain. Critter Coral was an old area of the land converted into Woody's Roundup, a meet and greet area with Woody from Pixar's Toy Story and Jessie from the sequel Toy Story 2. The land is converted into "Halloweenland" in October, with many pumpkins and other scary characters lurking around every corner. Frontierland borders Adventureland and the Central Plaza of Main Street, U.S.A. via Fort Comstock.

In October 2008, for the first time in Disney history, Jack Skellington and Sally F. Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas made appearances as meet and greet characters in Frontierland's halloween overlay. They were situated outside Phantom Manor.
