I didn’t say it would resonate though the ages. merely that I was looking forward to it and I’m glad it’s not cancelled entirely.

I feel like this special was announced because they didn't want to admit it was cancelled outright.

Yeah the ride and characters are gone permanently and we're stuck with a disappointing ride that didn't hold up to its potential for the next 25 years, but listen my eternal rival the fictional characters that I'm going to blame for the executive's decisions and all wars is getting a different format of animated continuation instead now!

I love Tiana the film. Beautiful, classic Disney animation, great story, great characters, etc. That being said, this ride does not hold a candle to what Splash Mountain was. It needs to be replaced and soon.

Not to ruin the joke, but I was just looking on the Disney jobs site last week and they had a notice up for a 2025 summer intern and it said the pay was $40/hr. I was shocked.

That may actually make more sense than you think. Disney's lower level internships are few and far between these days compared to the College Program of yore. And, those tend to pay the normal $15-20. Those upper level internships tend to be specialized in things like software development, legal, marketing, operations, etc. (You'll see them as "Professional Internships".) Those often carry higher salaries nationally. So, it's not as shocking as it might appear.
Still a heck of a lot more than I got paid on my Professional Internship (what we used to call Advanced Interns) back in 2002... haha
EDIT: And I should say, food and housing in Orlando is significantly more expensive now as well.

Exactly this.
Way back in the day, on this site, we used to do Attraction Battles until only one was left. Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion were constant winners.
TBA would be an early loss now if such an activity still existed.
Exactly. They had the bones of a great E Ticket, and instead of building off it they slaughtered it and left the corpse on display.

To think many people some of them on these very boards put their reps on line saying how good this ride was gonna be and how surprised we would be and how it will be a good satisfactory replacement and all the money Disney was dumping into it…. What a crock of cr@p that was. Talk about shilling and if they did add money to the initial budget imagine how much worse this would have been ….

There’s that word again. Shill. It’s such an illogical response to someone liking something you don’t.

I have no problem with others liking different things but under no circumstance can anyone logically say this was a fair replacement to its original and was done well…

Eh it’s not flawless but there’s definitely sections I enjoy more than the equivalent on splash mountain.

Like what? Lack of wait times compared to Splash?
. I have an open mind im curious what sections? Either way. Since when do we compare rides by “sections?

I will gladly explain. 1. The queue. 2. The entire outside stretch. 3. The former laughing place. The new scene feels much more colorful and the water effect actually works! And 4. The finale. As for the lack of wait times. Ha ha I wish.Like what? Lack of wait times compared to Splash?
