If they are clever, they will serve rabbit stew at the International Festival of the Holidays.

Better safe than sorry??
Sorry for what? The never ending shame of not riding a ride one more time you have ridden a hundred times before?
Get a grip people.....
Not everybody is an AP holder who has ridden it a hundred times before.

Regardless, anyone who genuinely cares has probably already ridden enough that making a hasty trip solely to huff residual pixie dust from the tatty remains of Splash would be wasting time and money.

No one's saying they can't be, just that this does not constitute a cause to rush to WDW.

I'm so preoccupied at this point that I don't care anymore. I'm just here for the drama now.
There was only a three year warning to get one's last rides in!!!

Glad I got that going out of biz merch in time!

It's just common sense that once the next "refurb" begins, that is the end of Splash Mountain. The idea was that Splash (at least the version at WDW) would remain in operation until Tron opens for capacity reasons. I assume this is probably still the plan, it makes logical sense to handle it that way. Unless they've pushed the date up for some reason and don't care about the capacity issue anymore. We'll see.

What do you think will happen to elements of the parks that feature the Br'ers like the portraits in the ride queue, the big statue out front, the costumes and the animatronics? Part of me hopes they'll be going to the archives while another part has a bad feeling they're getting scrapped for parts or tossed in the garbage.

I think they will be locked away in the vault. Disney is usually really good at archiving its history.

It’ll be no more wiped away than Song of the South has been. People will still be able to read about it in literally hundreds of books and on thousands of websites.

I'm talking about looking for it in official Disney sources.

Disney isn’t going to recall or burn all the books it’s already published that contain references to the ride. Nor do I think it likely that they’ll edit the relevant episode of The Imagineering Story, though I suppose that’s a possibility.

I'm not talking about literal book burning.
I'm talking about things more along the lines of your second sentence.
I don't believe Disney is going to be much of a source of information for Splash, its props, and its history.
Probably a glance or word of what it was - but little more.
It'll otherwise pretend it never existed.
They're getting rid of Zip a Dee Doo Dah for heaven's sake.
Splash will live on in fan sites, Ebay, etc., outside of the company.

Again, I doubt it. I suppose we’ll have to (re)watch The Imagineering Story in a year or two to know which of us is right. Either way, we’re very far indeed from anything approaching totalitarian revisionism (it’s surreal I even have to write such a thing!).
