Or, hear me out, this ride wasn’t well thought out, and the imagineers forget the cardinal rule of visual media is to show, not tell.

What’s the average American?
Most modern companies realize representation is very important as this country grows more diverse.
As time goes on things there were acceptable to certain generations will not be the next.

If anyone thinks Disney is going to make any actual substantial changes to the attraction, I want whatever you’re smoking.

I have to say from what I've seen on videos this is an EXTREME let down. It started off strong with the country bear and brer rabbit looking critters but then it was screens screens screens all the way! There is no plotline, there is no dangerous thing to overcome, once again a good character throws you off a cliff for no reason with a really poorly executed shrinking and growing scene? Really? Just like that terrible antman ride. Zip a dee doo dah is replaced by a forgettable song, and I feel like I'm going to yell at Mama ode at the end when I ride it for putting me through that. I really really was optimistic about this at this point, I started off with anger and i grew to a "let's wait and see maybe they know what they have to do" mentality.....but man.......Just nah

Looks like the info I got about the music was not quite as off-base as it was starting to seem.
“Dig a Little Deeper” does in fact play throughout the entire Laughing Place section, not just the lift hill.
And an instrumental “Almost There” plays leading into the “Special Spice” finale. I assume either somebody heard this and didn’t understand they were 2 distinct songs or someone misconstrued “AT + original song” as “AT w original lyrics.”
Also worth noting that the person who told me this info also told me the HDYD section would be an instrumental-only “Gonna Take You There” (this was before Disney confirmed the use of this song), which turned out to be half right, as the words are sung. I wonder if it was a last-minute choice to add the vocals?
This was the first post on this website to make me laugh out loud.

First of all Disney doesn't have to be only for kids, and I never understood why adults can't find things like an entire planet with floating mountains etc to be awesome. Are we not allowed to have fun? lol Come on
Second of all we shouldn't be encouraging bad behavior like short attention spans

Went back and read the original official description:
Is it ever made clear she’s about to throw a big Mardi Gras party?
Did we settle on what the missing ingredient is? Is it the critter band?
I didn’t get the sense I was traveling with Tiana, so much as occasionally bumping into her as she would magically warp ahead of us.

Once again, the glazers are gonna glaze, the majority reception have been negative.
Honestly, Josh is a puppet and he's trying to get the CEO job. So whatever Bob says he does. Bob will probably get rid of him and blame everything on him after this gathers a lot of attention but let's be real on who the real person is making these decisions. Imo

My main objection to the initial retheme announcement was that Splash was about as good as it gets, so the best case scenario would that Disney sinks all this time and money into a ride that is just as good as its predecessor, instead of investing in a real upgrade elsewhere.
As more and more info came out about TBA over the years, I was increasingly optimistic that we would at least be getting something approaching that best case scenario.
The POV shatters all of that optimism. TBA is clearly a substantial downgrade from Splash. It still seems like a very good ride (which was almost guaranteed to be true), but it’s not the 10/10 that we had before. Maybe a 7.5

And here I was hoping for, at the very least, coherence!
I really wish Peltz would've won. I've been tracking Bob's decisions ever since being CEO. Some ok decisions but the majority bad and think they would've been ok and potentially better with literally ANYONE else. He's not an idea's man or a futurist and those were the people that made this company better. He's too tv/film driven with no real innovative ideas nor fosters a team capable of what Disney's history and potential were. I would welcome to be proven wrong.
Remember the leap that was Alien Encounter? Yea, that mess was terrifying but that was a GOOD ride and risk that we are all very privileged to have experienced. Bob would NEVER hear that idea out. That's the problem here. He's an "IP, kids like her, kids like this, kids like that," type of guy. Missing the target audience that are their parents that have to want to be enthusiastic about buying them these experiences. TBA is not something I'm interested in having my daughter's first flume ride. I rather take her to Tokyo to ride the best one on earth, as of now.
