also, Mama Odie saying "Gee that Tiana sure knows how to throw a party!" at the end of the ride is literally no different in tone than brer rabbit sitting there going "I sure learned my lesson mr bluebird!" I would be shocked if that dialogue was featured before the drop.

"Where is this secret Laughin’ Place Br’er Rabbit’s talkin’ about? Can I go too? Hey y’all—hold up there! I wants to see this here Laughin’ Place old Br’er Rabbit’s talkin’ about." Just trying to make a point that lines like this are in Splash alongside those that are darker in tone. You can...

I mean no disrespect towards you, as I feel you've been a pretty reliable source of information and have remained pretty neutral throughout this thread. I'm not denying that there are people who refuse to acknowledge any flaws in this new design, but c'mon. You've seen the claims on here that...

Right, that's been my attitude towards the whole thing. It's not the most groundbreaking thing in the world but it doesn't really need to be? There are far worse things in current EPCOT to be upset about

Not to beat a dead horse but what's frustrating for most members here (including myself) isn't that people have negative opinions of the new central plaza - that's their prerogative. It's that that we have to scroll through the same comments over and over that provide little to no value to the...

Also wonder if these are the same frogs that were featured in previous concept art. They look similar in design.

Last time we got a picture of the interior people were able to figure out the location in the ride pretty quickly. Any theories as to where these new shots may be from?

We definitely don't know for sure, I'm only speculating based on the critters they revealed earlier this week - Assuming they'll be appearing in that long stretch where the laughing place music played before the second drop, if not the laughing place itself which was pretty sparsely populated...

I was rewatching an old POV of WDW Splash Mountain and I honestly forgot just how many long stretches of nothing there was in that ride (animatronic wise). If the 42 number turns out to be true, I'm confident that the ride will feel FAR from empty even if it doesn't technically exceed the # of...

My theory is that the "mix-up" is Naveen putting Louis in charge of the music for the party without realizing that all of Louis' suggestions would be other animals

No we cannot. This is why so many people are frustrated over the negativity. To dislike the retheme is one thing, but having to constantly hear people push the narrative that changes are being made this late into construction as a result of some online backlash, or that they've been "winging it"...

There was no damage. Anything that WAS removed (i.e. the tree stump being the biggest example) was patched up appropriately before any additional greenery was added.

I could be completely wrong here, but I find it hard to believe the mounds were an intentional part of the design. It seems far more likely that there was an issue with the grading and they decided to just leave it as is / improvise something during construction. I've worked on similar projects...

Isn't there such a painting in the final scene of the Carousel of Progress?

I don't think it's fair to assume that one storyline is more "scary" than the other with how little we actually know right now. A rabbit being chased by a bear and a fox certainly adds an element of suspense / tension to the ride, but I wouldn't call it "scary." Especially when you consider the...
