    I second these thoughts.

    I love everything about this post. I share similar memories.

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    ...🤦‍♂️ So the addition of the Matterhorn, the Monorail, Autopia, the Submarine Voyage and Rocket to the Moon was sub-par? Dang. With standards that high, you must find everything Disney does nowadays disappointing.

    I never said everything Walt did was perfect, but in terms of adding to the parks? His track record was darn near.

    Walt only improved the parks—his changes were never negative. The current Disney regime? Forgive me if my faith in them is minimal.

    And that changes my point how? The Partner’s Statue? After all, Song of the South was produced by Walt. Should the man who made such a picture really be remembered as fondly as Walt is?

    My guess? They’re changing it because they want the pat on the back that will come from a few elites that are in the circles of the execs at the company. They’re a bunch elite white men who believe they have the authority to tell the masses what is and isn’t offensive/racist. Edit: removal of...

    The fact that so many are responding to the announcement of Splash Mountain’s closure with “OOH YES! BEIGNETS ARE COMING!” tells you everything you need to know about Disney’s current fan base. Wow.

    You mean the petition that received 20,000 signatures? Have you heard about the petition to save Splash Mountain that has garnered 41,000 signatures and counting? Of the 60,000-ish guests that visit Magic Kingdom everyday and ride Splash Mountain, approximately how many do you believe get off...

    There are no problems🤦‍♂️. There have never been problems. Nobody ever believed there was a problem with Splash Mountain until some guy on twitter decided there was one. This is ludicrous.

    I’d bet good money it’s not actually controversial today. In fact, up until about 2 weeks I don’t think hardly anyone thought about Splash Mountain’s “inherent racism.”

    You sure? Splash Mountain has great, great, GREAT numbers, and it’s gone.

    ...because a very small (relatively speaking) group of twitter users who signed a change.org petition are likely the ones who inspired this decision. The hope is that if there are more people who want Splash Mountain to stick around, Disney may reverse course. Obviously it isn’t likely, but that...

    They had a bunch of decommissioned animal animatronics laying around after Disneyland closed the show America Sings. Imagineer Tony Baxter proposed taking those animatronics and building a log flume attraction (then called The Zip a Dee River Run) around the music of Song of the South—while the...

    Potential is the key word there. That’s the part that really gets me about this decision. Does anyone honestly believe that in Splash Mountain’s 25-30 years of operation, more than 2 people have ever complained to Guest Relations about Splash Mountain’s inherent racism?? This is so beyond silly.

    Still worth letting them know your displeasure though, right? After all, isn‘t Disney all about their “guests?”:rolleyes:
