Guys Tiana and the other Disney Princess will appear at Tron if the company thinks they can make more money by doing that. She's getting a ride in Frontierland not because they are keeping her separated from the other princess for "reasons" the ride they decided to retheme was already there so that's where she'll go.

I'm surprised there's no group of guests there still jockeying to be the last on the ride.

Merida is so brave.

The walls they put up mention the salt dome. You'd think they have a few letters about Tiana.
I mean saying Tiana is super excited to invite all her new friends to a tour of Tianas Foods we'll be happy to greet you but we're trying to get things set up here!

It’s lowkey and not super Fantasyland tacky.

There we go. Fixed one of the pictures.

I mean if they can't get the orientation of the spray paint mask templates right on the construction walls on day 1, then it's only downhill from here.

It's not a deal killer and I admit me nitpicking but it seems odd. Also I hope those wood carvings don't become firewood for Iger

Splash Mountain isn’t dead; it’s just changing its name and wardrobe.

I’d like to offer a huge thanks to Tony Baxter and his team for his work and development of Splash… they set a great standard for fun and design! Splash was a classic and forever will be!
Looking forward to what the next team can dream up and design!

and theming, and beloved music


I have a feeling people will still be calling it Splash Mountain for years to come

probably the same people who still go to MGM...

“Mommy mommy can we ride Tiana’s ride?”

”I’m sorry sweetie. The company didn’t think about the target demographic for the IP when they forgot about the ride system height requirement. Again.”

I think the little ones will be fine. “When you’re tall enough,” is a phrase every kid who’s ever gone to a theme park is well familiar with. The real issue to be concerned about would be “I’m sorry, honey; Disney’s just gotten too expensive, and we can’t go there anymore. Maybe when you’re old enough to get a full time job.”

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Disney eventually just changes the name to “Splash Mountain: Tiana’s Adventure.”

The real question is: can we get to 1000 pages before opening? Probably...

 

[Ghost93]

I don't know why people think the Princess and the Frog is targeting a demographic too young to ride a log flume ride. Song of the South was much more childish and cutesy in tone than PatF was. Brer Rabbit is in no way more mature than than Tiana. I think the concerns are overblown.

I think the only issue with the new ride is the title. "Tiana's Bayou Adventure" sounds rather tame and doesn't seem to convey the big drop.

I was going to say by the time this is done the parks will be even more expensive families might have a harder time getting into the park to enjoy the ride. But that is an issue that isn't the rides fault. Heck it's almost if not cheaper to go to Tokyo Disney then the American Parks.

Speaking of orientation. . .
