While Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America are officially no more, the famous Tom Sawyer rafts and the Liberty Belle are still there, but now they are behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in a service canal.

I really hope that is not the case, but it isn’t a regular ship and I’m not sure Disney will want to spend the money to repurpose it as such.
Why is it being docked?
In case you haven’t heard, Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America, including the Liberty Belle, have been closed to make way for the new Cars-themed “Piston Peak National Park” area coming to the Magic Kingdom.
