The ride vehicles will absolutely have received maintenance attention by the time Tiana’s opens. They’re not risking a log sinking in their expensive new attraction.

This is just a glorified (and way over priced) attraction maintenance. Once again, not an ADDITIONAL attraction, just a renovated one.

I will admit, the costly maintenance for the old Splash mountain and the lack of spare parts, is probably the REAL reason Splash was re skinned to Tiana and at the same time, they could do some social justice while they were at it,

Peppers, food co-op, salt mine …. The convoluted backstory nobody wanted. Especially not little kids hoping to see the characters they love, in the outfits they recognize, singing the songs that are already embedded in their brains.

That being said, everything does look really great so far.

I guess I’m not sad at the thought of walking away from the ride without Going Down The Bayou stuck in my head 🙃

Meanwhile, Epic around the corner on another site has already begun testing for multiple rides. It looks pretty incredible.

What new attraction? They just repurposed an old attraction in lieu of constructing a 'new' attraction.

Please be serious. It's a new attraction.

It's certainly not still the old attraction. As many in this thread are only too happy to remind everyone.


It's not exactly true that they repurposed an old attraction "in lieu of" constructing a new one - the Brers were being made to vacate the ride regardless of what, if anything, took their place. Let's be glad they kept the facility and are turning it into a new ride instead of just razing the whole thing.

It’s a very costly re skin. That’s it. In my opinion, "new", is an additional attraction that ADDS capacity to the park.

I have a question. It was mentioned a time ago that Dr Facilier may not be in the new ride. Is that still the ongoing rumor? I thought he was great in Princess and the Frog and had a great song in the movie.

So, by your definition Cosmic Rewind wasn't a new attraction because it didn't add capacity to Epcot, it just replaced another attraction?
Besides, when Tiana's opens, Magic Kingdom will have gained an additional attraction as both Tron and TBA will be open at the same time, thus adding capacity to the park :)

Well, if you include Stitch, not much of a gain at all lol

Correct, and since cosmic rewind is only boarding groups, its not adding the capacity it could if they allowed standby.

Ironically, I wish they had re skinned UOE and kept that GREAT ride system, THAT was a people eater, the problem was folks grew tired of Ellen. A good reskin of UOE and that existing ride system would have been GREAT!

TRON is an additional attraction and has nothing to do with Spla..... er I mean, Tiana'.

I am VERY HAPPY to see TRON added to MK, but again, boarding groups with no standby, but IT DOES add capacity.

That's a really bad comparison.
Cosmic Rewind is a new attraction, because it's a completely different ride from what it replaced.
I don't know its impact on capacity - but it's completely different.
Tiana's is a reskin.
I actually like what they did on the outside - we'll see how successful or not the inside went soon enough.
But Tiana's is simply Slash re-themed as Princess and the Frog.
It's not really any different from the changes at Test Track, or Maelstrom to Frozen.
Hopefully it's just done much better than Frozen.

That's ridiculous. New Capacity and New Attractions are not the same thing.

You can complain if you'd like that this doesn't technically add new capacity to The Magic Kingdom, that's not wrong. But Tiana's is a new ride. No matter how many times you've ridden Splash Mountain, you've never ridden Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Because the old ride has been transformed into a new one you haven't experienced yet.
