Is it Tiana’s Palace or Tiana’s Place? Can never get a straight answer.

Bc it goes against the narrative of certain peoples opinions…
What I said was that people were already clogging the thread with poorly thought out deductions based on the tiniest crumbs of new information, and that this is a bad tack given the kind of weekend we're going into.
But clearly many others are happy to just stew in their own speculation rather than let the actual information make its way to us.

Its going to be Tiana’s Folly once Disney gets done with the overlay

And remember, these "models" are the absolute "BEST-CASE" scenario of how this turns out.....
What an unfortunate, unforced error.

My comment had nothing to do with theD23 info its about the mockery of this retheme and the “need” and decision to get rid of Splash

It's both. At the beginning of the movie, when she's singing "Almost There," her internal concept art says Tiana's Place. Once she's a princess and it actually opens, it's Tiana's Palace. Because she's a princess.

Which is, as I recall, off limits for this thread.

I just wish WDW would get its own version of this, that model is clearly made for Disneyland, and something they will try to retrofit into here to save a buck. Im all for the cypress trees and what not, but that tacky slummy water tower absolutely not. Not to mention de-mountain-ing a Magic Kingdom mountain. The company and imagineers have lost all sense and creative ability. What bothers me even more is here we go again with more cheap banners plot welcoming us to a character reunion party if the model is any indication. Its lazy and and watered down (no pun intended) with no point other than another fairytale toddler ride and or the pandering they seem to be doing. I think they are going to have more problems with this than they ever had with Splash, they never even had problems with splash, its all been created from the outside and then internally.

I think we've been pretty well on-topic. Attraction news coming out of D23 is all wrapped up in the same concept.

Hey, that actually makes sense! It’s a pity her ride is not going to be over by the Horseshoe, which geographically (in the park) could easily become a Tiana’s Palace and is a waste in its current state, anyway.
I wonder what is getting converted at DL.

The Mom liked my post, which seems pretty telling that we're not all on track here.
Quite a few rides have backstories, complicated ones, too. At least the book report rides didn't need to provide a prologue.

They should name this Splash the Patriarchy

Not to mention that the particular salt mine that this attraction was "inspired by" collapsed and killed two people last year.

Ah…we’ve found the peril that explains this being a thrill ride!

This feels like an epic troll move, TBH. Like, you remake two entire rides because of uncomfortable associations, and then you create a ride for your only African American Princess that 1) is a thrill ride that’s imposing to many people, kids and adults alike, with one of the most stringent height requirements, and 2) set it in salt mines with a wel documented history of using slave labor and indentured servants.I have to giggle at the amount of people who don't read this thread (or any boards for that matter) and are excited to go on a Tiana ride and then get there and are like....salt mines?
Did anyone think through these implications, both practically (little princesses won’t be able to ride, or will be too afraid to) and thematically (historical associations with the real life analogue)?
