Legends of Frontierland: The Adventures of Lasso Laura and Jiminy Jason

Posted on
Legends of Frontierland is a new interactive guest experience at Disneyland this summer. From the information pamphlet: "You are invited to play an immersive game in which you can create your own persona and frontier story.

They've now got their eyes on the more prosperous Frontierland, and are trying to take it over, and the folk of Frontierland are trying to prevent that.
