Splash Mountain re-theme announced

[Scuttle]

They'd say it and return anyway. Disney's a drug and rehab never fills up.

I haven’t been to the parks since 2018. After years of complaining I finally cancelled my annuals. Haven’t missed it a bit. The removal of Splash sure isn’t getting me back anytime soon.

I’ll be selling my shares in the company as soon as they go back to 120. Them cutting their dividend to appease the mob was my final straw. I really don’t care about being a customer or a shareholder anymore.

Even though I was mocked for saying it yesterday, my household is not renewing our passes when they come up for renewal (after 15+ consecutive years). We're going to take some time off and simply go to DS or the resorts here or there. We've just not been having great experiences in the parks lately, and this decision was just sad for us.

(We're still UOAP, SW / BG, and Legoland APs.)

It's probably a good time not to renew, considering the state of the world and the restrictions happening at Disney. It's a good break.

There'll be another Tron to bring you back. You ain't gone for good.

Yeah maybe 2030ish. WDW was getting my money once a year, sometimes twice a year. Now they get it once a decade or so.

Right. Disney's audience is a diverse mixture of groups. Disney has to decide which of those groups it wants to focus on serving well, and which ones it doesn't. Increasingly, serving one group well means crossing another group, doesn't it?

I don’t really agree with this. As with music, a movie or show can have any fans from anywhere of any color, religion, gender, nationality. You’re not taking from to please another.. unless and until it’s intentional.

The reaction to the “Elsa is gay!” shouts, is because assuming that a strong independent woman must be a lesbian, is a tired old trope. It’s a horrible stereotype that should be long gone by now, but sadly is apparently not.

I wouldn't mock you. I'm impressed by people that actually vote with their wallets.

I guess I was wrong! More room for me. I only say that because it's often said on forums and I've never had a chance to use it.

They aren't renewing because they are disappointed with the park, not because of covid.

And you choose to use it on me! Lol

 

[21stamps]

I hadn't seen that take before..

Really?

Absolutely

I had an opinion of my own, is that ok with you?

 

[orlandogal22]

Interesting, I like knowing what people's line in the sand would be. I think ToT or CoP would be my breaking point.

Any of my household's Top 5 were breaking points. Top 5 were SM, CoP, JC (or SFT), HM, or PP. BTMR coming in as Honorable Mention.

Not saying we'll never go back. Like I've said, we're 20 mins. from the park. Hard to stay away. But we're going to take a break.

 

[Brer Oswald]

Uh, oh... you just reminded me the Mansion makes reference to people that committed suicide... we must erase those images from the attraction lest it be seen as the glorification of suicide and one of the precious minds that sees it might harm them self because of it... Quick start a petition.

Can you spare a minute to help Beneel the Historian?

Remove the Suicide Scene from the Haunted Mansion

chng.it

Someone beat me to it.

 

[Parker in NYC]

And you choose to use it on me! Lol

Is it ok to use it on Scuttle, one of my favorite characters of all time?

 

[manmythlegend]

I had an opinion of my own, is that ok with you?

It's not a matter of opinion. The poster stated why they weren't renewing and covid wasn't listed as a reason.

 

[The_Jobu]

Unfortunately it seems that CoP’s days may be limited according to WDW Pro, but idk if that’ll actually happen as things could shift within the diversity committee that’s looking into a handful of attractions.

Yeah, that really worries me. Updating the final scene would be great, maybe a total update, but if they completely rethemed it to a character or just closed it, it would really affect me.

So you think there's a way for Disney to treat all of its fans equally? How would you know if that was achieved?

 

[Parker in NYC]

It's not a matter of opinion. The poster stated why they weren't renewing and covid wasn't listed as a reason.

And I said it sounded like a good idea to me because of it. Again, what's wrong with what I said? I wasn't reframing, I was adding other reasons an annual pass shouldn't be renewed right now.

I am a liberal. I think publicly displaying the confederate flag is terrible. I also think parts of our history is terrible and it’s about time the real Columbus is portrayed to those who didn’t know his doings. However, changing this ride due to a vocal minority is wrong and dangerous. Will me having the picture below on my wall be seen as flying a confederate flag? I hope not. What about wearing a Splash Mountain shirt at the park? Will you get asked to turn it inside out? What’s next on this slippery slope? Tom Sawyer Island? Some of the parts on the railroad? Country Bears? Come to think of it, the golden age of Hollywood was racist, sexist and full of violence. You couldn’t be LGBT and if you were pregnant and not married the studios would force issues. Let’s get rid of Hollywood Studios too.

I better take my picture down. Again I am a bleeding heart liberal and I have these views. This is scarier than the virus.

That slope sure does look slippery.

 

[Parker in NYC]

Yeah maybe 2030ish. WDW was getting my money once a year, sometimes twice a year. Now they get it once a decade or so.

So, will you still participate on Disney discussion boards to discuss its failings?

 

[kong1802]

Absolutely

Ok. Just had never seen that before. Interesting.
