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

[MickeyLuv'r]

I’ve had many a dream where Splash Mountain was just one big water slide through a cartoon wonderland.

Now that would be fun

Oh, I don't know about that. If splash turns into a water ride, then we might have to endure endless threads debating if the ride is too wet.

Especially here in 2020. Once upon a time, this was more lighthearted forum.

Has there ever been any discussion of a chip and dale retheme for Splash Mountain?

They literally could have had the same plot and everything.

Its canon that Chip and Dale have delt with Brer Fox and Brer Bear. Replace Brer Rabbit with one of the munks and we're in business

No. Never.

 

[Brer Oswald]

No. Never.

I’m sure the idea would appeal more to OLC.

They'd have to be even smaller with even bigger eyes and with even more giggling.

The problem isn’t Brer Rabbit. The problem was never Brer Rabbit. The problem is the movie that it’s attached to, and the inability of the modern Disney audience to separate a movie they don’t know much about (beyond its insane reputation) from the ride.

I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at here.

It's how Kawaii culture works.

Ahhhhhhhh got it.

I don't think a Chippendale re-theme would be appropriate for all audiences...

When is FP+ coming back again? (Asking for a friend, obviously.)

D’Amaro has claimed that this update is getting fast tracked. With all of the gallons of money they have and the numerous creatives they haven’t laid off, I’m sure this will shape up to a timeless attraction that will last for decades!

By guests, they mean the 4 attention seeking influencers on DisTwitter and their 200 followers.

Imagine the look on their faces when the replacement isn’t as good as what’s there now. Now you might not have to.

Since SM is the only "guest facing changes" so far, I assume we'll hear more about the other rumored "PC" changes soon (Jungle Cruise, IASW, Peter Pan's Flight, etc.)?

There would need to be more cultural representation...

Hoping they wait to take it down until they finish whatever they're doing with the riverboats. Preferably some time in february.... the last 2 years I've hone, splash has been down in January
