Yup, I know what I’ll be labeled on here if the ride is subpar and I say so…it’s been the elephant in the room.

Exactly. So even talking this much about it is already pointless tbh. Disney gets accused of inflated wait times. Cant wait to see what they do with this one if it flops at some point lol.

I think Splash may be one of the best attractions Disney has made and my favorite tbh. Brer’s were the Ip people knew not SOTS. I agree with your 1st statement why the ride was great altho i disagree with your 98% thats just absurd but thats besides the point. If you think this overlay will have the same catchy tunes like Splash has and all the AA from its glory days i would wager against that. People will definitely say they love it bc Disney will spin it that way and God forbid anyone says otherwise on social media they will be afraid of that backlash but imo the retheme has zero chance of topping Splash… just one mans opinion.

98% isn't absurd. It's probably higher. I'm fairly certain that if I went into work tomorrow with a picture of one of the Br'ers, literally no one would be able to name him. If you think otherwise, you may be living in a Disney bubble.

Regardless, your pronouncements are all over the place, so it's very difficult to respond to what you're saying. You're vacillating between a ton of different points, and I was merely attempting to respond to the one you made originally. I'll just leave it at that lest I get further confused.

Wait, what? How is it shaping up to be a train wreck? Why are you expecting budget cuts to the retheme work?

I think it is safe to presume some have happened regardless. Concept Art is Concept art but that has changed drastically to an entirely more economical vision than what was shown previously. I am not saying that is the only indication but it is reasonable to presume it has been given less than the original pitch PR pushed.

all im saying is Tiana retheme imo will not be as popular as Splash is and was…no matter how hard they push it to be. Maybe im wrong but do you think we are going to get the same amount of AA like og Splash? Do you think the ride can have better music to sing along with? Everyone has opinions and likes. In sure the retheme will
Have people that love it but i dont see it being as popular.

I don't think one can measure a ride's popularity by the number of animatronics it has. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is more popular than its forerunner, as is Cosmic Rewind.

I honestly don't know whether Tiana's Bayou Adventure will match Splash Mountain in popularity. I suspect it will be wildly popular even if it isn't as good.

I've been pretty open about the fact that the announced storyline seems pretty poor, and no-one's labelled me anything. It's a total myth that people aren't allowed to voice criticism. The bad reactions arise only when criticisms are kneejerk or disingenuous.

I love MMRR but no way is it better than GMR was originally. Not saying you need AA’s but they definitely help. No one knows but imo it will not be better than Splash

At the very REAL risk of being censored, I will only say this…it’s not a myth. That’s it…let’s wait until it opens…

Multiple people in this thread (myself included) have criticised the latest announcements concerning the retheme without being labelled racists. I'm not sure what further evidence you require. If the retheme is poorly executed (and I sincerely hope it isn't), I'll be the first to say so.

I'm sure certain kinds of criticism would be unwelcome, but the idea that it could very well be an objectively "worse" ride experience than Splash with fewer animatronics and a questionable narrative is not a controversial argument at all.

It is a myth....I've had a post deleted (as I presume this will be).

Because you are kind, respectful, and thoughtful even when you offer criticism.
