I’d rather experience it in its dilapidated state than not at all. Those who have never been on it before and have no basis for comparison probably still walk away very happy and impressed. It seems a shame to deny them that pleasure just because it’s not longer being maintained as it should be.
I agree it should stay open until the day they close for the retheme. However I don't care if the ride is being phased out. The fact that they let the attraction get into this shape is unacceptable. Disney should do better.
I didn’t meant to suggest anything to the contrary. But given the reality of the situation—that they aren’t going to bother with maintenance at this stage—I personally don’t see any point in wishing for the impossible. Disney should do better, but they won’t. I agree that’s unacceptable in principle, but in practice, I suppose I’d be prepared to accept it in order to experience Splash Mountain before it goes away forever.
Oh I know you weren't suggesting that. It's just that Disney doing this sets a bad precedent going forward. Granted the Splash Mountain retheme is a special circumstance but Disney letting any attraction go out like this is unfortunate. Again Splash is an unusual situation but other attractions also seem to be lacking the TLC they need.
Great...
agree, I dont get what they are doing, if they are going to do this it should be based on the film, its characters, and music....something is really off.
Remember, changing the ride is not about getting the film in the parks. It is about getting Tiana in the Parks.
More reasons to dislike the retheme.
That would most likely be impossible since Splash Mountain lies between main Frontierland and Big Thunder Mountain.
Which is a mistake.
Tiana is already in the parks as part of princess meet and greets, etc.
Why?
Certainly...
Thanks.
You know they are just checking boxes?
Great, we can scrap this whole idea then. Thanks for clearing things up.
It seems like a great idea. One that deserves its own attraction, built from the ground up that can truly showcase a great movie, princess and the frog. Not a shoehorned attraction that limits the creativeness right from the start. I think most people fully support a ride for Tiana and princess and the frog. It's how they are doing it that rubs people the wrong way.
