Reality: The attraction will be closed for three years and when reopened, look nothing like the concept art due to budget cuts.

So I'm thinking it should be open by my April trip?

 

[marni1971]

Imagine that.

Shame.

Hey Disney, perhaps maybe some wishful thinking but….just make it into something that is good and maintains and improves on the excellence of Imagineering that the original attraction embodied.

Good indication that Tron might open before the reported April dates?

Sleep well old friend

We had a great run. Thank you to Tokyo Disney for keeping it alive! Can’t wait to get back to that well maintained theme park again. Enjoy Disney World’s downward spiral kiddos!

This seems like an improvement over the last update. "CTRL-F" + "salt" and "mines" shows no results, and Louis and Mardi Gras are back at the fore...for now.

No, unless there has been a very sudden change of plan.

You don’t want to ride splash when it is in the low 60’s or upper 50’s on a January or February Day in Florida. It‘s absence won’t be impactful.

Sometimes it’s in the 80s in January/February. And by “sometimes”, I mean literally every year outside of the cold snaps.

Imagine that.

Shame.

Now I know how EPCOT Center fans felt when Horizons and JII closed.

Happy to see this project finally have a start date! Judging by concept art, we’ll be getting a lot of animatronics. Lewis, Naveen, Tiana and this reoccurring band? If every scene features them, I think we’re off to a great start. What will make or break this attraction will be the music. It needs to be on par with the movie and original Splash, otherwise this ride will sink.

 

[Clamman73]

Realistically summer ‘24?

Oh they say late 24. Ok

 

[FulcrumSolo]

Can’t believe Bob Iger cancelled it you guys. I knew he’d come back and do it

I would hope that the ride wouldn’t only have this same band recurring. Part of the magic of splash was that it had so many unique critters throughout the attraction

MK is gonna take a further hit to capacity when this goes down. Would be nice to have the Main Street theater, a reimagined Stitch attraction, and all dining space open.

Well, it was inevitable that it was gonna close in January. Sad to see Splash Mountain go, but it is what it is now. The concept art looks better then what was shown before. Not sure how Disneyland’s is gonna be done by late 2024 if they don’t close that one soon as well.

They’ll probably lose it in March
