I'm right there with you. All good and fair points, and I know on paper, I should be more disheartened but seeing as how they've already destroyed what was most precious to me, well...

I didn't consider this and I think it makes more sense this way. Either way, I think this is an acceptable change that's mostly in line with the spirit (no pun intended) of this attraction.

Just rode last night. The queue is a vast improvement. The new projection mapping effects in the graveyard were tasteful and beautifully done, in my opinion. As for the bride, I do wish they'd gone with the more traditional route of not being able to see her face. You could axe the axe and it...

All of the above.

Finally got to ride Bayou last night, after putting it off for weeks in defiance of the reskin. Was decked out in my Splash hat and shirt, so got a couple of dirty looks from the Cast Members. What can I say that hasn't already been said? This reskin is completely devoid of passion. Absent of...

It's not a coincidence that some of the best flume rides ever conceived in the vein of Splash Mountain and Jurassic Park: The Ride both utilize tension to enhance the drama and overall impact of the experience. It makes for a more satisfying conclusion, and it only reinforces why Splash works in...

You realize Disney is actively trying to strongarm OLC into closing their Splash, right? So what about their happiness? Is happiness something that only people who agree with you are entitled to?

This is one of my favorite posts I've ever seen in this forum, and it's hard to agree any more with it.

This ride is a stain that'll never come clean.

Splash Mountain's biggest flops are Tiana's greatest hits.

Could not disagree more. California Adventure was arguably at its peak 2015-2016, that is, before Mission Breakout came around. The park today is a cautionary tale in botched potential; just a dumbed-down shell of what it really should've been. Simply building attractions that draw the masses...

My favorite part of the new Auction scene is after Red delivers her cringy dialogue, one of the pirates fires his gun in her direction and yells "Quiet, you scum!" It's just too bad he presumably misses...

Yeah, zero problem with this. Perfectly executed, and proof that they can get it right when they don't let Twitter dictate how to address these things.

Given that Disneyland's Fantasmic is contingent on the existence of the Rivers of America, I think it's generally safe. With that said, the idea of a Magic Kingdom park without Tom Sawyer Island just feels...wrong.

Such a nuanced take; I never made that connection. So much wasted potential. Sigh...
