It could certainly reduce food acquisition costs... while reducing potential overcrowding issues.

Hey.... Just kidding it wasn't me. To be fair though the original didn't look so hot either.

I think Splash Mountain as it stands today is the most visually appealing ride facade ever. The colours absolutely pop.

I think they’re fine. But the rockwork and grass are beautiful. Puke green moss and dull grey rock don’t do it for me. Looks like the escarpment by my house.

Oh by original I mean't the original concept art. Not the masterpiece it currently is.

I think the Tree on the concept art looks nice. The colours of the mountain do not. But I don’t imagine repainting the mountain grey is at the top of the priority list on this budgeted retheme.

I don't like anything about the new version's look. It's like when they put the stupid Mickey wand over the Epcot ball and the Sorcerer's hat in front of the Chinese Theatre. I'm not feeling it at all.

Just a reminder from the first post
The original announcement of the Splash Mountain to Princess and the Frog thread is now available in the 'Politics and Social Issues' forum at https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/splash-mountain-re-theme-announced.965846/unread
In the absence of many specific details on the project and due to its polarizing nature, the original thread is mostly a political/social debate, which is best served in the Politics/Social section of the forum. In its original location in News & Rumors it became impossible to moderate within the no-political discussion rule that we have in place (see Terms and rules).
This thread will serve as the ongoing thread for discussion of the attraction retheme. ANY political/social commentary in this thread will be deleted and the poster will be banned from taking any further part.

I wonder if they'll just reuse the animatronics like they did for Superstar Limo in DCA. The riverboat is an easy one to redo with jazz instrumentalists and Louis. The image below could have one of the frog catchers with a frog, if they decide to delve into the frog story a bit.

Anyone have any info on the splash mountain car that submerged today with guests onboard?

There's another thread that talks about it.

No prob, it was much lower than it was earlier.

While I really have a lot of affection for this attraction in it's current state, this is certainly not the worst idea...It doesn't seem to be a far stretch to make this into an appropriate setting...Only thing that is odd is it's surrounding environs, though Chick A Pin Hill is not exactly correct in the middle of the Old West...I am just hoping they don't cut the budget... If they are going to do this, I hope they spend the necessary money to make it amazing... I am cautiously optimistic for this, though I think it is going to be a while with everything else going on.
Heard on Instagram 2022 is the date for WDW to retheme. Any confirmation?

From who? That seems to be the originally proposed timeline.
It was a post. Will dig for it later.
