Disney knows they need a home run to just be on the same level as classic Splash, and they would really need a grand slam to justify replacing it. Sadly everything we've seen indicates we might get a double or triple at best.
They don't need a grand slam to justify replacing it unfortunately.
Yeah but that doesn’t really work anymore. People gave wised up and go to other sources for reviews. Why do you think so many movies have flopped that the media is gushing over.
Hey triples are exciting! I agree that we all want the retheme to be the best it could be. If you want the change or don't we're beyond that point, it's happening we all just have to hope for the best.
What has Disney done lately that gives you any idea they care about guest experience ?
lol people here are going to complain no matter what. Remember Trauma, most of the folks here are diehard, "I remember Disney in it's glory days" long time visitors. NOTHING is going to be good as splash mountain in many peoples eyes so no way can this refurb win. at most if it's a good ride people are going to say how it's a decent ride but they didn't have to get rid of splash, that it should have been an add on.
No doubt Disney-owned ABC will have their anchors riding it on the air! Those segments always make me throw up a little bit. But this one will be particularly bad tasting.
Disney needs the full 2 and a half years to retheme a ride that is already done.
Yup, that's right on the mark. Guest experience is #873 on their list of 900 things to worry about.
I give 'em two months. I'm still sour over the removal of the briar patch and replacing it with something that isn't threatening or iconic looking in the slightest. What even is that supposed to be? A patch of grass? Are we frog-sized in this ride? Why are Tiana and Naveen humans if that's the case?
Maybe they can have a bubble of swamp gas break the surface so the air cannon can be salvaged
That's how I felt about my childhood favorite Wonders of Life pavilion in it's entirety. That was my home. Left to rot.
Too many E Tickets are down at DL for them to safely pull Splash and open MMRR without apocalyptic crowd issues
They want minimal pushback until this thing is done on both coasts. If they opened the DL version way ahead of the WDW version and it underperformed, you would see some pushback for people that were previously pro change. If it opens within a 6 month time frame in both coasts… there’s nothing they can do to change it at that point.
