Then I’m not sure what point you were trying to make. The bolded isn’t the scenario described and doesn’t relate to what I said. It seems you actually agree with my point, just as I agree with you that Tiana is inferior to Splash and not nearly as good as it might have been.
Splash was in relatively good shape until 2021/2022, when they just let it die until closing it. Before that the only real "embarrassing" time for Splash was in 2010/12 when chunks of the mountain were falling off and practically none of the ride was working:
I don’t agree with you that they couldn’t have come up with something better, but leaving that aside, the current experience would be vastly improved if they ensured the animatronics were all working as designed and if they redid the animation of the screen with Tiana and Louis in the log scene.No it really couldn’t have
Because Princess and the frog is NOT a top tier franchise.
They have been persistent with it…no doubt…but the facts are the facts. Little blue alien guy has chewed that movie up and spit it out 10 times over…older ones like mermaid and BATB continue to chug…Moana far more successful from an impact/longevity/licensing track record.
It just is what it is. They took a story about a girl baking with voodoo and jazz playing animals and shoved it in there…that was never a recipe for “spectacular”
Planet earth here
There were a lot of things shut down/not working for long periods prior to that…the beauty of splash was it had so much crammed in their that it wasn’t particularly noticeable to a lot of infrequent rides
I don’t disagree with you about the ops. But they just don’t prioritize that anymore. Things don’t work…raise the prices and cut the staff instead.
But Song of the South was? Oh okay…No it really couldn’t have

Well, neither is Song of the South, but they were able to get a good ride out of the non-problematic animated segments of that movie.
Where did I claim that?
Song of the South was just quiet enough that they could use parts of it, ie Br'er Rabbit/Fox/Bear, music, ect... for the ride but quietly shuffle the less good parts under the rug. For example, having recently watched the movie, I can tell you it's an absolute slog when Br'er Rabbit isn't on screen.
That’s a different point …
If were approving of adequate now thats the problem, it was inexcusable for this to be adequate, which it isn't even that. It was nothing but a in the moment check the boxes project. Honestly they should be cowering embarrassed in a corner at the finished result.
I'm stumped on this one.
