News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[Brer Panther]

You know, I personally would prefer if they just left Splash Mountain as is and did something new with the Brers (like a Disney+ series) to further distance the characters from Song of the South.

Changing tracks: Do you guys think they'll record new versions of the PatF music for Splash or do you think they'll just use the tracks from the movie?

Tracks from the movie.

I’m pretty sure they won’t just play the soundtrack over speakers throughout the ride (not sure if anyone is suggesting this).

Consider how the current Splash handles the singing- audio is “spatial” in that each animatronic character has it’s own voice, and any characters playing instruments has the sound coming from that instrument. Audio cues are timed to the ride vehicles, and the mood of the music changes to support the storyline.

I haven’t seen any reason Disney wouldn’t do as good a job with the PatF music as they did with Splash (or any other attraction).

Is there any stock still in the rumor that only California gets the retheme?

I would say anything regarding that is fully in the realm of speculation. The official Disney line is that Orlando is getting it.

Is there stock in the rumour? I’d say yes. Is it confirmed? No not at all. Should we wait and see instead of having false hope (or anger)? Yes we should.

actually if splash has to have its IP replaced changing it into a grand Pooh attraction would not be bad,,,then make a new dark ride where pooh is now. I never thought of Winnie in that location but it could work.

If...if Splash has to eventually go, the 100 Acre Wood may not be a bad idea. That frees up space in Fantasyland.

Don't talk bad about overweight doughy individuals with poorly fitting t-shirts and median IQs. Have you seen the crowds at the parks.

I’ll suggest it again. Disney could purchase Banjo-Kazooie (or set up an agreement with Microsoft, ie. Avatar) and retheme it to “Spiral Mountain”. You keep the antrho animals, the bluegrass music, and the set design.

This thread is looking more and more like it should go under the Imagineering forum. The point of the Splash re-theme is two-fold. 1) Remove any reference to Song of the South, no matter how distant and 2) AND purposely theme it to Princess and the Frog whose protagonist (i.e. Princess Tiana) is an African-American to celebrate rather than be embrassed about. (Uncle Tom, er, Remus).

Any other discussion of what you could do to Splash outside of Princess and the Frog is just blue sky and belongs in Imagineering.

The Imagineering forum? But then the masses won't find it! If no one sees a post, does it still fall in the forest? Will the dopamine effects of group confrontation even exist?

I'm just saying what is. You aren't discussing the attraction which is what I thought this thread was supposed to be about. Nor am I arguing for or against. "No politics", remember? We're beyond that. Instead, I'm reading pointless wishful thinking about a Western river attraction or it needs proper theming or whatever.

Well, if recent rumours are to go by, there’s a chance the tether could be something else, not PatF. So we are just discussing some alternatives that could fit the land and that Tokyo might like.

There isn’t much else to discuss regarding what was announced in June.
