I was going to say that would be bad and Disney would be ripped a new one if thay was the finale.

Well at least we have progress with the people on this forum now. We went from full denial that this was still happening at WDW, to now ā2 years is too long to redo this attraction, itās going to be cheaply done, dooms day is hereā.

The entire premise of this redo is to move further away from Splash Mountain and itās inhabitants.
Keeping any part of the name would serve only to remind people of the ride Disney wants people to forget.

BREAKING: Thorns At Bottom Of Splash Mountain Drop To Be Replaced With Replicas Of Lower Ninth Ward Buildings.
Although yes that would indeed cause possibly worse backlash than just cancelling it.

Not that I want to join the naysayers, but I have to say that the latest update has me worried about the story, or rather lack thereof (and I was largely optimistic till now). I really hope the ride lives up to its name and features some kind of adventure.

I have no doubt there will be some fleshed out story many will complain about on here.
I can already see the laments:
āThey donāt create things like Pirates, or Haunted Mansion, where the story is more up to you and your just riding through a really great environment that is highly themedā.

Also I should add, with D23 just a couple months away, I am sure they are holding back any major details for that. They need something for the parks presentation.
essence will probably just be name and date, D23 will be concept art and story details.

I couldn't have come up with a less inspired name if I tried

Iāve yet to see a better name than what they have come up with.

I like the logo. And I love that it emphasizes Bayou Adventure. It evokes a nod to the naming convention of something like Jungle Cruise. With IP being involved, I'm grateful it's just Tiana's name and not a case of GotG. Cosmic Rewind is a rather fitting and, personally, awesome name for an attraction...but that franchise name is a mouthful.
And I agree with the belief that Disney wants to move away from the name Splash Mountain because of its current divisiveness.
I do think this could surprise us. To repeat an earlier sentiment I shared in this thread awhile back: Disney can't afford to mess this up. You anger fans wanting the change ("Tiana was only worth a shoddy thrown together retheme??") and lovers of the OG attraction ("They did THIS to our beloved ride???").
One thing is for (hopefully) certain: No big blue boxes in sight.

Splash Mountain was never set in the frontier. You wouldnāt have found that setting in the frontier either.

I agree there will be those who will hate it regardless; I'm clearly not among them! My concerns come directly out of the video and its almost relentless focus on "research" and "authenticity". I'm worried we're going to get something very earnest and pleasant rather than something exciting, dramatic, and plot-driven.

I will give them to D23 for sharing some more - this was just a mention at a festival they are just sponsoring/participating in ... I wouldn't expect tons of time spent on it here
If we get nothing new at D23 I will get a bit worried

Yup... just a 'tongue in cheek' comment on my part.
