[Father Robinson]

Actually I edited my response before I saw this but you can stay mad

Thank you.

Done with Disney. I will never be setting foot on the property again.

Read the thread. Frontierland is already not all "The Frontier" including Song of the South.

I'm pretty sure the general public has deemed anything where the music style resembles strings on a guitar-looking instrument as "Frontier" enough for Frontierland.

There is a gray area between "Frontier" and "Adventure" when it comes to Ukeleles though.

I’m mad and proud

0 = the amount of times prior to coming on this forum I Associated Splash Mountain with a film I’d never even heard of.

Splash sits in the elite of theme park rides, and my personal favourite so this has hit me hard. I feel like you can’t critique the decision without being branded though and that’s unfortunate as this retheme will ultimately change nothing, it’s up to governments across the globe, not for Disney to retheme a very loosely tied ride.

I mean... look at how many adults in this thread are gutted over a 1946 movie & 1989 ride... if it still means so much to them, I'm sure PATF will for years to come. Especially for young girls who see tiana as the only princess who looks like them.

I certainly get that... but build a PATF attraction of its own...there is no need to redo Splash.

Next they'll be taking down the Partners statue.

Why, because Mickey Mouse is 'black'...?

Of course they will disappear... they offend the masses.

As a side note: Most of Disney movies have something offensive to somebody. What a weak move by Disney. I love the Rincess and Frog movie and the songs in it. They should build a new attraction for it. And as I have always said, I think every movie should have something(show, ride, restaurant, bathroom-lol, etc.)representing it at WDW.

All of the old rides will disappear eventually. Those old movies and rides don't represent the current generation. The parks are a business, not a museum. They will eventually change all the old rides to recent movies of the last 10 years to attract a new generation of visitors. Enjoy the current rides and take many pictures, because they all will be gone. This is part of life.

All you’re doing with these clown replies is making me hate PatF, the one Modern Disney film I liked.

 

[RSoxNo1]

I would like to see a total name change to the attraction. I do not want to see something like Splash Mountain: Tiana's Riverboat Adventure. I'd be far more content with dropping Splash Mountain and calling it Tiana's Riverboat Adventure.

 

[Bleed0range]

I've always wanted a Princess/Frog ride bc there are so many great visuals in the movie! From the voodoo scenes to the fireflies in the bayou!

I want that song so bad because it just fits the drop so well...

“are you ready??? (Are you ready???) are you..... readyyyy.”

repugnant and despicable

You know me quite well then!

Joking aside, no classic Disney fan (which a lot of these imagineers are) were excited for that change. I was far from the first person to make that repugnant joke. You should see the like to dislike ratio on that video. Here it is if you don’t believe me:

Down the Bayou makes sense bc of the "down" part lol. Maybe Down the Bayou with Tiana & Friends or something.

I just hope they can translate some of the amazing visuals from the movie into the ride.

[Smiley/OCD]

With controversial changes, they typically leave some small detail from the previous ride to appease the fans and for the social media people to Instagram. But largely I would expect there to be no trace of it.

So I guess we can expect to see a picture of Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Fox handing the deed of the laughing place and the briar patch over to Princess Tiana...

I understand the sentiment, but you realize Splash was already based on an IP, right?

I've heard more than one guest say how much they enjoyed the ride but had no idea what movie the ride is based on.
