Again, I’m not saying they won’t convert ours, too. I’m saying they will commit to a 2023 closure or, if they don’t, I don’t think they’ll convert ours. And I’m not seeing the cogs moving yet on a 2023 closure. There‘s still some time to do so, but not a ton of time. Last I’d heard, it was already delayed enough to require a normal Splash refurb this winter…an odd choice given their recent choice to half- the 2022 refurb.

I would argue they could get away with just changing the DL version in the court of public opinion. Because of TDL, they will be unable to remove the entire concept, regardless.

Disneyland / DCA always gets the unnecessary rethemes

True it's not "necessary" but you could make the argument a PATF retheme would work for Disneyland because it's next to New Orleans Square. Also from a buisness perspective it works since you might incentive people to visit both US Parks because you got Tiana Splash in California and Original Splash in Florida.

As long as a Song of the South-based attraction still exists in one of the U.S. parks, the media won't let Disney off the hook. Whether justified or not, there is now a "racist" stigma associated with Splash Mountain in its current form.

I don’t actually believe the media cares that much. The media routinely forgets DL and WDW are distinct entities to begin with. There would be one story on CNN about “Problematic Disney Ride Updated” and then the world would move on to whatever new evil occurred that day.

I feel a retheme in Disneyland would just draw even more attention to the fact that there is a "problematic" attraction in Florida.

give SM the PATF retheme in DL, cause it fits the area. As for MK, retheme it to something with a western frontier land fitting theme, maybe some kind of Muppets wild western river adventure ride....you could keep most set pieces just reskin animitronics and new audio

If you retheme to the muppets you can keep Zip-A-Dee Do-Dah as the final song as well since that was sung in the muppet show

Yes! And… I haven’t been in a few months, but are the water cannons working? And the waterfall before Zip a Dee Do Dah?
