The article he quotes from is almost a year old, with nary a word since. I’m with you.They were building the Main Street Theater until they weren’t. I will accept it is happening when the existing ride closes.

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.
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-a** the 2022 refurb.
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.Disneyland / DCA always gets the unnecessary rethemes
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 would argue they could get away with just changing the DL version in the court of public opinion.

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.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.

I feel a retheme in Disneyland would just draw even more attention to the fact that there is a "problematic" attraction in Florida.I don’t actually believe the media cares that much.

Because Disney has never claimed Splash is “racist” or problematic. Officially these plans are only about getting Tiana into the parks not that Splash “has to” close.
I’m glad Disney’s fourth most successful animated film released in 2009 is getting its due.Disney was wise enough to listen to their third party advisory council on this matter.
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 showgive 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
