Saying there’s nothing you can do if the change is executed poorly is one thing.

If you’re going to take something great, keep it great. That should be the expectation. Not “if it sucks, just don’t ride and stop your yapping”

We should complain as much a possible w/ guest services.
Although I truly think it will be a worthy successor and the worry of an inferior ride is much ado about nothing.

But that's not what I said. At all. I don't want Splash to change. But it's changing. It's not in any of our hands. There is no use getting worked up over a multi billion dollar company and what they do with their own products. No one is forcing anyone to ride the retheme is what I am saying. If someone already has it set they won't like it, then they should not ride it. You are free to misinterpret this as you please, but it's just so much energy for something you can't do anything about.

Disney going to do what Disney is going to do and there is nothing we can do so we should all should just find something else to do?

K.

Anyways, the project is moving forward. If it’s bothering people that much, simply don’t ride. As stated already, there’s nothing we can do to stop it from happening. No amount of posting on forums or complaining at City Hall will change their minds. I’m not saying you shouldn’t express yourselves, but it’s a lot of energy for something out of one’s control.

It’s happening.

Who’s fault is that tho for allowing it to happening?!? Accepting this lunacy is why we are here and im not just talking Disney…

Calling a retheme “lunacy,” and seemingly acting like it’s a sign of the downfall of civilization, is much crazier to me than the retheme itself.

Kudos to this thread for repeating the same argument for 400 pages.

I’m not talking about it changing or not or if you want or don’t want it to change.

I took exception to the fact you said if it sucks, just don’t ride it, and that’s no big deal.

It’s not about the change, it’s about the quality. And just shrugging your shoulders if something sucks (again- not merely changing, but sucking) isn’t the right approach I would think.

I mean, look at imagination. We complained about that quality after the change and got… oh, wait...

If the new version of the attraction is good or bad, there is nothing that you can do about it either way. That's it. That's all there is to it. Expanding any amount of energy on what may or may not be that you cannot do anything about is absolutely pointless. Because of how this all played out (largely in people's minds), it will be absolutely impossible to gauge if it's actually good or not. Even if it's not good, people will never admit it. If it is good, people will never admit it. If you want to ride the new version, ride it. If you don't, then don't. No one is forcing you at gunpoint to ride it. If it's gonna be bad, then it's bad. That's it. There's nothing you can do about it.

There are a lot of art styles that look primitive or purposely stylized to look simple, like anyone could do it. E.g., a Mondrian could be easily put together by a child (I've seen an elementary art class create Mondrian-styled art).

The paintings of the artist who did PatF:The Ride art concept follows such a style that has roots in African-American culture.

Im going to respectfully disagree at least from the pov of not wanting Splash to go… if the ride is good i will admit it but honestly being good or not has nothing to do w the fact the ride really didnt need to go and Tiana could have been built elsewhere. I do think tho that anyone who is hung ho for this change and been saying it needs to go will never admit the ride stinks or is not as good if it fails to deliver. Like i used w my GMR analogy. MMRR is one of my favorite rides now i lost track how many times we rode it in November thats how much fun we all had on it. Still didnt justify how theylet GMR rot and replaced it with this… especially when its been said it could have went elsewhere…

Splash, maelstrom, energy, gmr, others. I think alot of people arent just upset about splash being gone, or Tiana coming. Its the fact that we close rides to reopen as something else and spend millions. Instead of an update of the current attraction or a small retheme (splash could get a few animatronics removed a new name and song and still be the same ride (easily could have been tied to BTM or even SEA).

Tiana in this case should have received a themed area with restaurant and ride. Not a ride shoehorned into an already existing building that will limit what they can do

How much better would the parks be if we added mickeys runaway, guardians, frozen and tiana as additions without the subtractions?
