News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[Vegas Disney Fan]

I was there for Toad, and I was there for Horizons. I was at Universal Studios Florida the weekend Kongfrontation closed. Years later, same for Jaws. I have never seen a turnout like that for the closing curtain on an attraction.

As popular as those rides were this is a much more beloved ride, the only ride closures that I think would have the same impact would be Pirates, Mansion, Space, Big Thunder, and probably small world.

This is probably the most popular ride that has ever closed.

I'm going to really miss seeing Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear, and Br'er Fox out in the open after today.

It's been ages since Disney decided to retire any Disney Character that's been out for this long (such Flower and formerly Thumper from Bambi and Oliver and Dodger from Oliver & Company).

 

[jeangreyforever]

I agree. This is really the end of an era for Disney.

Again, they are censoring things that never drew complaints, like PotC auction.

Not to mention Jessica Rabbit in the Roger Rabbit ride.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Honestly… I’d kick them all out of line if this continued too long.

 

[BasiltheBatLord]

It's really sad Disney didn't make the going away special. It seems like they just gave it a closure date. Considering it has been in all the Disney commercials of the last 30 years it is a very unfitting ending.

They should've made a big event for the going away.

Whether they claimed the ride was problematic or not they couldve made this day special.

"Time to be movin' along" merch would have been a slam dunk. Fulfilled it's purpose while also making Disney's point about changing times.

Went on this at WDW last month and my photos did not link unfortunately for this, Pirates, HM, or Snow White despite it saying it is "automatic".

Have some wonderful 90s era picture frames that are 3D that my wife got for me maybe a year before the closure with some nice Disneyland attraction photos we have in there, would've liked one for World but that's OK.

 

[Disney Glimpses]

So how about that mist?

 

[_caleb]

Agree as well. There's nothing left of the original company now. Just mindless IPs.

Yeah. They’ll probably never make another all-original ride with no IP like Splash Mountain ever again.

Splash Mountain was really ahead of it's time in terms of personalized guest experiences. Just take it from this fella.

I recently went on vacation to Disney World with my family. It was a lot of fun until I went on Splash Mountain. There are…

The final guest log. They're all empty now.

Edit, not quite yet.

 

[Animator_Alex]

Yeah. They’ll probably never make another all-original ride with no IP like Splash Mountain ever again.

lmao

 

[EagleScout610]

That's all. Last log just left the finale. Goodnight Splash Mountain. Thank you for everything.

 

[invader]

This ride deserved better, we deserved better. Hope you all find your laughing place.

 

[Kirby86]

So how about that mist?

Well rumor has it Disney might have to cut back since Party City hit bankruptcy and the local supply of fog machines is at an all time low. So it'll work on day one then we got to use our imagination.

[Mickeynerd17]

The actual last log. Final stragglers have gone down now.

 

[jeangreyforever]

Today is the day Disney has irrevocably lost its magic.

 

[GoneForGood]

Wonderful feelings, wonderful days.

Just here to lift a glass to the ride I used to daydream about riding while bored in school, rode the day after my wedding, watched my littles play at the playground, and watched my mom weep in the queue when Tennessee Waltz played (her dad’s favorite song). My SD got to love this ride but my girls 4 and 1 missed it. Hoping for years of special memories with my girls in its new iteration, whenever that will be. Until then, I’ll always be grateful for the memories. And sending the very best vibes for a solid redo that will live up to its predecessor. (Here’s hoping).
