As funny as the reason the name was chosen is it really is a good name. Splash Mountain is a much better name then Zip-a-dee River Run. I think they'll try to keep the Splash Mountain name.Iām sure itās been mentioned but itās funny Splash Mountain is called that because of the Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah movie about mermaids called āSplashā. Had nothing to do with any of these characters.
But you'd think they'd want to get rid of the name because of its associations, but since they can't even decide if they're going to 86 King Louis or not....It's still gonna be called splash Mountain. That name has brand recognition you don't just throw away.
But it's brand recognition that was created in a theme park and that's not something that current Disney leadership understands.It's still gonna be called splash Mountain. That name has brand recognition you don't just throw away.

5 dollars? I'd wager they charge 15 .You pay for the Disney diffrence.I had a dream last night that Disney closed Splash, but upon reopening all you did was sit in the log at the loading platform while Chapek sat on a stool telling you how the old theme wasn't "Disney enough", then threw a bucket of water at you, then asked for $5. Ride photos were $20

Song of the South takes place in southern Georgia, so the mountain never really fitā¦suspend disbelief?Last week was my first time riding the WDW version since this was announced.
Totally forgot how large the whole complex is. Not just the ride, but the courtyard where the extended queue is, the gift shop, restrooms, RR station etc. Ignoring the ride's placement (or the logic of a mountain near New Orleans), it would take an enormous amount of work to make this all fit with the movie's setting. I don't see Disney going to that much trouble. Most of the changes will likely be made inside.

I think people make too much of this point because they are unwilling to admit that the issue of fit (if it really is an issue) has always been there with WDWās version. As I noted a year ago:The setting of the story was changed to the American west for WDW. Having been on both American versions of the ride within the span of a month, it's very clear that the whole thing was redesigned from the ground up to fit next to Big Thunder in WDW.
Anyone reading this thread without having seen the attraction would assume that WDWās version looks completely different from the Disneyland original. Hereās an actual comparison:
I personally donāt view these as pointing to explicitly differentiated or easily identifiable geographical settings. Asked which one looks more āfrontierā, I might well answer the firstāthe boulders evoke the West for me. I realise this is subjective, but I think itās important to ground ourselves in the visual evidence rather than exaggerate the extent to which WDWās Splash Mountain has been shorn of its Southern associations. As others have pointed out, Frontierland has always been a mishmash of West and South.
I donāt understand your post. Disney isnāt pretending that the current ride doesnāt existāitās open and fully operational.I am just so amused that it's part of the Genie + nonsense. Can they make up their mind if it exists or not?
It was Chickapin Hill. Large foothills can be like mountains. Particularly to critters getting tossed off it. You see the size of the briar patch?Song of the South takes place in southern Georgia, so the mountain never really fitā¦suspend disbelief?
Itās called Splash Mountain. Iām sure it will make about as much sense in Louisiana as in Georgia.It was Chickapin Hill. Large foothills can be like mountains. Particularly to critters getting tossed off it. You see the size of the briar patch?
