News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[Disney_TX_Guy]

Good Morning America talked about the ride. I hope what they say from 2:03 to 2:08 means that Jim Cummings will be reprising the role of Ray.

The new title is corny, but, like I said before, it could have magical, enchanted, wish, or dream in it's title. I'd rather have this new one

Genuine question, is there any mound of dirt 30, not evens 50, feet high around New Orleans? I mean, most of the city is UNDER sea level! How does this attraction fit into NO??

Highway overpasses.

 

[Texas84]

Tiana or Navine will randomly say do you know Salt mines are the only place in Louisiana that has any elevation?

Salt mines are underground.

 

[Texas84]

Bayou Falls are real places too, Mint Springs Bayou Falls in Mississippi and Frog Bayou Falls in Arkansas. Albeit not 50 ft falls… but still a real thing.

And the name serves as a double meaning as well.

Not in Louisiana.

For those having never visited Louisiana

I’ve been to Louisiana many times and never visited a salt mine or knew that they were a thing in the New Orleans area.

I’ve also never sailed into a cave that transported me to a Carribean town where they auction off chickens but that never bothered me.

Disney needs to stop worrying about historical accuracy and continuity and just create a good story!

“Tiana’s Splash Mountain” could have been a pretty simple retheme keeping many of the show scenes pretty much intact and adding a few characters from the film. This could have gone the Gran Fiesta route instead of the Maelstrom route in my opinion.

You're speaking as if the ride has been revealed to us. As if historical accuracy couldn't possibly contribute positively to this attraction. As if we even know the extent to which the attraction will be physically overhauled.

Lot of people in this thread assuming too much and getting themselves in a twist over it.

Hope that also means Facilier is back too. I'm Team "Are You Ready" up the lift hill to the big drop.

Guilty as charged. Back I go to patiently (and optimistically) awaiting the outcome!

The entire re-theme would be fairly bland if Dr. Facilier were not to be included.

Considering the context here, I would have to disagree.

I'm sure we will see Mama Odie. Perhaps she will have something to do with how we end up on top of a waterfall/mountain.

Or things can be taken a step further and have adjoining the ride an actual Cajun cuisine (properly Louisiana themed/decor) restaurant named "Mama Odie's". It could even have its own line of merchandise.

That would be awesome! A Voodoo themed store.

A PERFECT place for Katiebug to hang out with her princess

I'm still wish this were only happening on the West Coast, but I still would hope that they can do a great job with it...and then I look at what's happened to Pirates.

Maybe it's going to be great. And maybe they'll camouflage how out of place it will be. But seems pretty 50/50 to me as to whether we're going to be happy with it at WDW
