Yay! A carousel that's been around since 2001 will be open a year after the rest of the land. 10/10 this is excellent news.

At least it got some attention. The king triton version was filthy. Eyes were falling off the fish, paint chipped everywhere, the canopy showed visible dirt for years. The Jessie overlay might not be what we hoped for, but at least it’s better than letting the attraction sit and rot.

Not to mention those nipples made me uncomfortable.

I think I'm gonna start a change.org petition that advocates for the return of King Triton.

Eh, shouldn't we expect Disney to somehow both maintain their rides, and not completely botch a reskin of a pre existing land/attraction?

I feel like as a fanbase, we shouldn't resort to "Well, at least they did the bare minimum!"

Lol ya know. Like maybe they can mAke them sag a little more and KABOOM ... it’s the Prospector!

Breaking news on the carousel that can stop the whole project: It turns out that one of Jessie's critters wore blackface in college.

The Carousel spins to the tune of the Virginia Reel

One last look at old King Triton. (just to make @mickEblu nervous)

Once upon a time you could give Imagineers five bucks and a box of paper clips and they'd build Pirates of the Caribbean. Today you give them a quarter billion and you get Pixar Pier.

you know what will really annoy me more?
if it opens and they still have that oddly placed wall behind it. If i remember correctly it was a an “L” shape corner that served no purpose. it was the weird corner where they had an oddly placed organ.

Im sure all they will do is paint it and say its rethemed

When my daughter was very little (3 or 4 years old) she dubbed him "daddy fish-butt". As a result, this ride was forever known as the "daddy fish-butt" carousel. As she got older, and we rode this, the comment was "daddy fish-butt looks kinda crazy". Well said, kid. Well said.
