Replacing an IP-based ride... with an IP based ride. Even though re-themeing splash is largely unnecessary I do think the result could be pretty great. I've got dreams of a Shaman-class animatronic Dr. Facilier doing his thing. Plus, you can bet they're going to recycle many, if not most of the...

Yeah! Minorities shouldn't have any say on what is and isn't offensive! ...wait...

Not content- The Jamboree suffers from the poisonous combination of high maintenance costs and low attendance.

The most obvious choice:

If you want to be really cynical, Disney has announced this with the expectation that a lot of people will be motivated to visit their parks right now in order to have a chance to see Splash Mountain one last time. If you want to be really, really cynical, Disney did that knowing that the...

Probably "Splash Mountain".

Sigh and hold their foreheads with their hands.

Perhaps it's not the setting of the films that's the problem, but the ideas the films convey? Like, in one film the black characters are subservient supporting characters to the white protagonists, and in the other they're the main characters with their own arcs and struggles against the system...

...he said while kinda-sorta-fibbing. Baxter's real inspiration for Splash Mountain was the Calico Log ride at Knott's Berry Farm. Young Tony skipped school to be there opening day and there's even publicity photos from the event showing him trying to climb up a rock to get a better look at the...

Wait, really? What's wrong with visiting a lobby?

But the deaths themselves are not.

Definitely not a good idea if we're concerned about human lives. Might make some money, though.

You sure about that? 1971? In the middle of the Nixon Administration, the Vietnam War, and the school busing controversy, among many others?

I meant their version of Space Mountain, particularly before the Star Wars stuff was added. That was one of the earlier indoor launched coasters.

The story I read was that the error that lead to the armature being insufficiently strong to withstand the forces was due to a programming error in the software they used to calculate it.

To say that Flight of Fear's themeing isn't as "technologically sophisticated" as Rockin Rollercoaster's is putting it very lightly. I've ridden both the King's Island and Kings Dominion versions and they're both pretty ramshackle at this point. The in-station launch is nice and all but overall...

All of them have been ripped to MP3, but the Splash Mountain area music tracks sold from those kiosks were all from the Disneyland version, although mislabeled (at least in Florida) as being from the Magic Kingdom version. I bought a couple of these CDs from the kiosk at the Epcot International...

For my money this one's close enough.

They're not. Again, the more synthesizer-heavy Disneyland tracks are consistently misidentified as being used in the Florida version, even sometimes by Disney themselves.

They wouldn't have built it when they did either if GE hadn't footed the bill.
