You’re wrong, according to a very reputable insider here.
But you’re free to believe in whatever conspiracy theory you want.

Making baseless claims and insisting they're true unless someone can prove you wrong is . . . not how the burden of proof works.
It has been verified both internally and externally that Disney was working on this prior to 2020. You're not gonna get better proof than that. Choosing not to believe it is your prerogative, but it doesn't make you right.

I must have missed the press release by Iger or Eisner that this was seriously being replaced.
Last i checked with the countless pages regarding this matter people have also said this was not on table seriously until the kneejerk reaction a couple years ago. So again. Im not saying im right or wrong. Im saying i dont believe for 1 second they were seriously planning on replacing one of its most popular attractions with Tiana in Florida & wasting all this money.

Literally the first line of the first press in June 2020 release calls it "a project Imagineers have been working on since last year":
New Adventures with Princess Tiana Coming to Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom Park
Today we are thrilled to share a first glimpse of a project Imagineers have been working on since last year. Splash Mountain – at both Disneyland park in California and Magic Kingdom park in Florida – will soon be completely reimagined. The theme

Splash Mountain as we know it has been hovering near the chopping block for years, for a number of reasons. That has since been corroborated by people here who have long-proven track records. Meanwhile the only source for the project being a kneejerk reaction to a twitterstorm is random people saying "I don't buy it", "I just have a feeling", and "Trust me, bro".

I think Maelstrom had that “hidden gem” factor going for it. I remember being a kid in Epcot and thinking “bah, I’m in the land of educational rides!” Then lo and behold, tucked away where you weren’t really expecting it (especially in the pre-internet era because you couldn’t Google it) was this surprisingly neat ride. Frozen is just the opposite - super high expectations regarding some of Disney’s most well known IP. (I found it a bit meh but to be fair, maybe it plays better to kids? Kinda like the sugary kid’s cereal of rides?)

I'm sure Splash was considered to be rethemed before 2020 as the company was becoming increasingly concerned about its Song of the South ties, but the George Floyd protests simply escalated the timeline and caused Disney to announce the project way earlier than anticipated. Disney probably would have announced the retheme around 2024 had it not been for the protests.

Boy what happened to believing the trusted insiders on here? Have they really uploaded so infrequently that people just forget how accurate they are?

Given the controversial history of Song of the South, I have no doubt there were plans drafted yet shelved to replace Splash

I think Disney has plans for everything as been reported but as we see with even announced plans plenty never happen. I dont think anything serious was in the works before what we saw 2 years ago. Its my opinion especially when they have so many others places that $ could have been used for..

You have zero proof they lied.
We have plenty of people with known connections to upper Disney management say they didn't lie.
So, you can keep reposting your conspiracy "opinion" as much as you want. There's not an audience here that will believe you.

Personally dont care who believes me or not. Im still entitled to my opinion. As is anyone else who have felt the same way…
Great PR move tho making believe they are removing this bc its a problem when its nothing more than another ride that was heavy on AA and maintenance i would believe.
Either way as i said. I will believe what i want. Do i believe there were “plans” 100% were they serious? I highly doubt it.
So feel free to call me all the names you want. And i would bet there are plenty of people here that may believe the same as i do.
Okee dokee.

You can believe whatever you want, but if you have literally nothing to present as evidence that supports your point, you shouldn’t peddle it as anything other than a baseless gut feeling rather than attempting to mask your lack of evidence with a vague assertion that this is how PR works.
Additionally, this is a discussion forum. If you want to post opinions and don’t want feedback or input, you can put it in your blog.
