I don’t think Disney wants a 1:1 comparison in the US to exist contemporaneously.

It still existing in Tokyo is one thing. But if it turns out the retheme is less than steller in one park while the OG is up and running in another state it wouldn't be a great look.

Yes. You can already see the gaslighting from certain segments of DisTwitter to convince us the new ride will be better.

Yeah I feel like they are trying to convince themselves more then anyone else, because of how hard they are arguing that no matter what it'll be better. Truth is no one outside of Disney knows what this ride will be like. Now it is entirely possible that Tianas will be a better ride. 2024 could roll around and we ride Tianas Bayou Adventure and we could be amazed. However that is an incredibly tall order since the current ride is a masterpiece in theme park rides.

As someone who's not on Twitter, I'm curious to see examples of this. I don't recall anyone here arguing such a thing, so it's difficult for to me to imagine the grounds on which the people you're referring to would maintain that the retheme is definitely going to be superior. Can you or someone else link to some representative tweets of this kind?

I'm talking about DIS-Twitter every mention of the ride turns into a Save Splash verses you're racist if you like the ride. It's hot takes among hot takes both sides are annoying.
This website dosen't have that .Of course there are people who are excited about the potential and people who aren't. People who are excited about the potential of retheme give reasons why they are optimistic. Others who are a little weary of it have their reasons. We debate and discuss and it doesn't go into a name calling match. At the end of the day we all just want the best ride possible
Imagine if they had gone through with the canceled Atlantis based fire mountain land....that would been swell

All of the concept art released so far has been of the WDW version. I almost wonder if it's taking them longer to figure out the DL version because of the different lengths of the attraction. I previously had a source tell me that the two attractions, while being developed simultaneously, had two different teams working on either coast. DL and WDW Splashes are actually pretty different in length and some of the scenes. There will likely be a few areas of blank wall in at least one of the two versions. And after the nice blank wall we have in GotG:CR, I feel very confident in their ability to include my favorite element of modern Disney attractions.

It has? I thought the scale model they released had DL's log design, complete with the lil' Br'er Rabbit head?

Also the one picture with Tiana and Navine in the boat has a single file log so the art has been mixed between resorts.

Splash Mountain VeggieTales would have been fun, but sadly, VeggieTales has been ruined by its new corporate overlords.

Since it will be the same track layout, an AR version would be cool....worst case, put those earbuds on and close your eyes.
It goes downhill faster than a log on Splash

I don't know if it's because we're two weeks out, but the sadness is really hitting hard now. Feels like a piece of childhood is dying, and I'm not even that old 
I hope maybe, years in the future, they silently add Zip back to the parks, maybe give the characters a proper series on D+, I don't know.
It just feels wrong.

I want the characters to get a redemption arc. People love them and will miss them when the ride in its current incarnation closes for good. We haven't had too many animated adaptions of the Uncle Remus stories which sucks because they're a perfect mixture of funny and charming, there's so much untapped potential it hurts.I don't know if it's because we're two weeks out, but the sadness is really hitting hard now.

To me, the fact we're two weeks out hits extra hard. because I have a sort of emotional connection with Splash. I don't tell many people this, but Splash/Disney was one of the last things I remember my family being happy while doing before everything in my house went, well, to heck in a handbasket [In forum friendly terms]. Sure, I knew it was coming, but it feels like that one happy memory is being ripped out with the ride.

I wish Disney gave even the slightest impression they know how important the ride is and how vital it is that the redo be incredibly impressive.
Now would be a good moment for some reassuring concept art.
