I should do likewise rather than worry prematurely!

Terrible name. No reason not to keep the “Splash Mountain” name and just retheme the contents of the ride.
It’s going to hurt a lot more when we get a book report ride through projection mapped scenes.
Also, why does every single ride now need a colon somewhere in the title?

Honestly, the name is fine. There's nothing terrible or surprising about it; it's a standard Disney attraction name. The objections to it feel rather kneejerk to me.

Yeah, I guess they want to avoid any associations with the old ride.
Personally, Tiana's Bayou Splash sounds like a better name to me as it references the thrill element of the ride but also sounds like something of a celebration (which, I guess, is in there somewhere in a Mardi Gras segment?). If they want to avoid all associations with the old ride, though, I guess it doesn't work.

I am so excited this is actually happening. Princess and the Frog is one of the best - I really hope at some point Mama Odie (accompanied by Tiana) is singing blue skies and sunshine. And I hope Lottie makes a cameo - she is one of my favorite sidekick characters ever. 
I’ll wait in the line and put on a poncho for this!

The name is terrible. Theme parks REALLY need to stop using the word "adventure". It's so generic and cliche' at this point.

is this going to be a trend?

I’m pleasantly surprised we didn’t get:
Marvel‘s Guardians of the Galaxy Adventure - The Ride: Adventure of Star Lord and Friends in their Cosmic Rewind Adventure starring Rocket

The event wasn't for Disney parks - they are a sponsor / participant. They do have another slot on Sunday so we may get more then
And we have D23 like 2 months from now and the need some stuff for that

A small number of people were asking for this before they announced the change. The truth is the vast majority of people weren't thinking about it one way or another regarding the ride's connections to a problematic film UNTIL Disney announced its closure. Now that people were made aware, they are asking for it and it'll be a major PR win for Disney assuming they do it right, which I believe they will.

Just listing some classic Disney attraction names:
Snow Whites Scary Adventure
Adventure Through Inner Space
Mr Toads Wild Ride
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage
This new name fits right in. Y’all lament too much.
You are correct but it was a small number of people.
A LARGE number of people are asking for new attractions not replacements.

This is how they'll compete with Epic Universe? My goodness. Close down one of your most beloved rides for years to change into something very few want instead of giving Tiana her own attraction.
I'm starting to wonder if WDW attendance is about to have a 3+ year long collapse. They have removed so much from the guest experience and are so incredibly out of touch with guests.
It's starting to feel like a shell of it's former self. With inflation, etc WDW in it's current awful state is really going to struggle.

I'm curious to know what sort of name people were actually expecting. I get not liking it, but deeming it terrible? That makes little sense to me in light of how inoffensively safe it is.
