I don't think you are in the minority. I personally have never met someone who was offended by splash. Once the offended crowd gets cancel culture aimed at you, it is pretty well over. Not too many corporations have the guts to stand up to it. So it's just easier to bow down and make it go away. Of course it never really goes away, they just move on to something else in your company because now they know they have you.
This is the wrong thread for my full reply, but the bottom line is that I agree with you.
I completely agree. The only thing is, to fix that problem, splash doesn't need to be the sacrificial lamb. They could easily build a fitting ride for PatF and keep splash. I personally loved the movie so it kind of upsets me to see that it's only getting a shoehorn instead of getting a from the ground up attraction. You have more faith in Disney than I do, I can't see this being anything more than a basic reskin. I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see it.
i get that people will miss splash but PatF takes place in the bayou, so if you had a PatF ride it would have to go in that area of the park. The only other option in that area would be to build it on TS Island and completely redo that area, replace Winnie the Pooh, or maybe replace the hungry bear restaraunt with a train station in build a ride in that area between pirates and HM, but even then, splash mountain was gonna get replaced sooner than later.
From what I understand its people taking this statement "We want to make sure that we’re focusing on inclusivity for our guests as well, so we’ve chosen to speed up some of the work that we had been developing to make sure that our parks remain relevant and welcoming to all of our guests." out of context.
Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah. The floodgates have opened. Can't wait for Peter Pan's Flight to get turned into a ride based on that crappy live action Mulan remake.
I wish Bob Iger would just leave the company already. In fact, I'm starting to think that he should have never become CEO of the company at all.
Given how important the ride is to him, I’ve always felt really bad for Jess Harnell in this whole process. I just hope he knows that at the end of the day, he did his job in making the vast majority of riders happy for over 30 years.
It’s sad. I will continue to listen to his voice singing the music for the rest of my life.
Same here
What specifically makes you cringe on splash?Disney fans love nostalgia, I get it. I love the classics. But society grows and changes, and so to does Disney and their parks.
I look forward to these changes and no longer cringing at many elements on some of these older attractions.
They’ve driven a completely unnecessary wedge between people, and have made many people people feel terrible for no reason. I’m really appalled by how they’ve handled this, and let this spin to this degree.
The “I’m Offended” crowd adapted. They weren’t the cause of this change. They were just a piece in the play for the Company.
Here's the quote - these comments were made at the virtual IAAPA expo this morning.
“Guest facing changes, like the reimagining of “Splash Mountain,” have been expedited to ensure that all who visit the company’s parks do feel welcome as well.”
