Splash Mountain re-theme announced

[thomas998]

So you're saying that the petition is representative of the number of people who would like to see the ride changed, and that there is (theoretically) a minimum number of people that would justify making changes such as these? Then why, in your opinion, would Disney risk backlash from the majority and spend lots of money to retheme the ride?

Because sadly in this country the majority of people don't have the time or inclination to say anything, whether it is praise or condemnation, they simply do what they do and if something offends them they take the path of least resistance and move to something they find less offensive. A habit the perpetually offended should learn and embrace.

Who's the more offended? The offended or the folks offended by the offended? I'm not being cheeky, just a discussion I've always wanted to have.

But all the old southern democrats are now in the republican party.

Another popular myth of the left.... Can we PLEASE leave direct politics mentioning out of posts??? Geez

Well, we didn't start the fire. It was started a few pages ago.

So, the majority of people don't care all that much...

I tried to respond directly to you but you deleted your comment as I posted my response. Or... Mom removed my post.

Oh well. It's the truth. I couldn't resist.

So Stop continuing it!!!

You can't really make that request immediately after continuing it yourself. Although that may be a popular myth of the right.

I feel disrespected in a way because some people are pointing fans as stubborn nostalgia-ridden people that can’t accept change. But if their favorite, let’s say Mansion, were to get a drastic permanent overhaul, they’d be sobbing messes.

I did not delete it but there is some thread cleaning going on. Probably for the best.

Hey... this should be deleted too, right?!??! "Myth of the right"....

It's not a cut and dry issue for everyone. Change is awful but inevitable. It's harder being Disney fans because the whole thing is romanticized nostalgia. Or used to be, at any rate. It's not easy whatsoever.

It only makes sense if they are making New Orleans Square in Magic Kingdom. There's plenty of space to the left of the park, on the other side of the tracks.

One rumor I saw said that "New Orleans Square" would take the place of the Peco's Bill, Golden Oaks Outpost area.

But a Peco's Bill retheme doesn't make any sense for New Orleans Square because it extends too deep into Frontierland.

I'd actually be alright with Tiana Mountain if they did give us a new section of the park along with it. However I do think if they did make New Orleans Square it would have to be separated somehow. Either with some trees or a wall. NOS can't just be right next to Frontierland sight wise.

My ealiest relatives came to the USA on the second voyage to Plymouth, Massachusetts. I have had relatives fight in every war the US had and on both sides in the civil war. I love the American Experience and the HoP and hope they are not changed. As I previously posted I love Splash Mountain. I also love Frontier Land and TSI. However, maybe WDW can not only redo Splash Mountain but also BTMRR and TSI into a new land based on PatF. Put Tiana's place on the island and turn BRMRR into a Dr. Facilier ride. I think if Disney wants to do right by Tiana, just changing Splash Mountain is not enough given the area.

No, please. No.

I had fun on Splash Mountain too. I will miss it when it's gone. Hopefully the new version will create new memories for future guests.

1. I am kidding. It's a reference to the earlier comment about the myth of the left

2. As long as both comments are deleted, I am cool with it.

Splash Mountain was my first Disney mountain and I have lots of happy memories on it. Can't wait to experience it with a fresh story and New Orleans twist!
