There’s always been some complaints/controversy with Splash. It just seemed to be more of a “Don’t think about it too long.” kind of thing.

I know that just by posting this I'm stepping into a minefield, but I genuinely do not remember seeing any complaints, or hearing of any complaints, about Splash Mountain being problematic before 2020. At most, I saw people say "Hey, isn't it kind of funny that they built an attraction based on this movie they banned?" but I don't think any of those were meant as complaints.

Can you please talk to Disney's movie business ;)

OK, ok, "nothing" is an absurd term.

Extreme terms like "nothing" is low hanging fruit for folks who want to argue.

In my opinion, Disney makes decisions mostly for Disney and lesser for guest/fans.

Again, I don't get what your point is.

Disney is a for profit publicly traded company. Everything decision is done for the benefit of the company/Disney. The officers of any company have fiduciary duty to make all decision in the best interest of the company. The sole purpose of any decision of a company is to benefit the company. They aren't non-profits or charities where the intended goal/purpose is to benefit a certain subset of the population.

Guest/fan feelings are never a goal or why companies make decisions. They are a fulcrum to support goals. Businesses offer guest what the they want in order to make money. They don't make money in order to give customers what they want.

Exactly.

Exactly

We agree completely.

When I said this, it was absurd. I wont say that ;)

He is not saying the same thing. You deleted his next sentence. He said guests "are a fulcrum." He said it was absurd to think guest "have nothing to do" with decisions. Then he goes on to explain how guests do, in fact, factor in.

You edited his post to make it look like you were saying the same thing.

You: Disney does XYZ. They shouldn't do that.

Poster: But ALL businesses necessarily do XYZ"

You: So you agree with me!

Me: Well, no, he doesn't really.

By the way, I know you started using winky emojis as some defensive measure when you thought people weren't getting your jokes. But that never was the problem. It wasn't that they didn't know you were joking; it was that they disagreed with the point your jokes were making. So, you can ease up now with the winkies. People can understand jokes even if they don't like them.

There’s now more evidence Tony Baxter’s experienced the new Harry Potter attraction in Orlando before he’s done the same at the Tiana attraction in either MK or DL

That’s my BOY!

♥️

No contest, Tony is a huge ‘Harry Potter’ fan.
He absolutely loves the lands at Universal and of course he is going to want to experience the latest addition.

He has no reason to want to ride what replaced one of his former Masterpeices.
And I don’t blame him.
That has gotta hurt….and it did.

That extremely tall dude sitting next to him is NBA player Brook Lopez. I looked him up. Would you believe his nickname is "Splash Mountain"? And he's sitting next to Tony Baxter!

Yep. He’s buddies with Baxter. He was there with Baxter on Splash Mountain’s last day, and now with Baxter during EU previews. He was seen on Tiana soon after it opened, but without Tony. Hmm.

Personally I'm curious as to what Don Carson thinks of WDW's finished version of Bayou Adventure. I know someone on here asked him his thoughts on the retheme while Splash was still open, but not since then.

Edit - Here's the post/interview I was thinking of.
