[MisterPenguin]

And salt. Lots of salt.

Just gotta dig a little deeper... in the salt mine.

Tiana Bayou Adventure souvenir salt lick.

They can sell those salt lights that are popular now.
Tiana will salt light your way.

Suggestion 1: Not sure where it would fit..Better it just gets removed for good..

Attach small world and Carousel of Progress to the Wonder of Life/Festival Center/Play Pavilion/Abandoned Building and call it a World's Fair pavilion.

Last I heard a bit closer to $6 billion

Now that makes sense.

I hope it's amazing. I really do, and it can be.
But if they subpar this thing, yeah - I'll be celebrate its failure as an example of all that is wrong with the current trend of reimagining things for "modern audiences."

It's would be more of a failure on Disney doing routine maintenence. We shall see what happens I'm sure opening day will look great but I don't share the confidence with some that just because Tiana is there they will take care of the ride better after the cameras are turned off.

Actually, you can find the full movie on a site called internetarchive.org.
I’ve watched it several times there…!!!

Oh yes, the wayback machine. I assumed it wouldn't be there.

Hi, So i have a question with regards to exterior of this ride.

So is Disneyland and Magic kingdom going to have a distinct exterior with Magic kingdom getting the first concept art that was released and the recently released one was meant for Disneyland's version of the ride?

I finally gave in and watched some videos from closing including the cast member last rides and guests singing together. I thought I had my closure riding with my daughter alone in a log in December but with the videos I cried a bit. The ride was great but my memories will be stronger riding with my dad years ago and more recently with my daughter.

Edit: The 2nd option will be: “Seriously, they gave up Splash for this garbage? Take all my money anyway.”

I’m looking forward to Splash 2.0 and hoping it’s great. But anyone who’s truly angry about the decision should remember that Disney only cares about wallets. If you’re that upset, stop going to the parks. Money is the only language Disney speaks.

So I thought I would re-use a 2017 poster calendar for 2023 (days of the week are the same). Take a look at February. Who knows, I may separate it at the perforations and frame it.

Disney doesn't do this kind of stuff back to them because it's not good form to be seen punching down.

Both will have relatively similar exteriors. The main changes from Classic Splash, aside from more plants are the removal of Br’er Fox’s tree and the Briar patch, plus a new water tower.

Walt Disney World

Disneyland

The original tree/boat was scrapped for two given reasons:
1. Didn't fit with the new salt mine story
2. The mountain structure supposedly couldn't support the boat and tree.

This always comes off as so tacky to me. It’s huge “pick me” energy, and makes both parks come off as super desperate.

Maybe try using your handles to promote your own parks, as opposed to commenting on everything Disney does.

PSA: If anyone here is considering a trip soon to L.A. to ride DL’s Splash Mtn., do take a side trip to nearby Knott’s Berry Farm to ride Timber Mountain, a fantastic, historic Log Flume that greatly influenced Tony Baxters design for Splash.

Timber Mountain is wonderfully, fully themed to a working lumberjack town, from the Garner Holt AAs to the sets, authentic props, CM costumes and catchy theme song that plays in various forms throughout. It also was the first to do the enter-a-pitch-dark-cave-and-plummet-down-a-surprise-drop-into-underground-caverns thing.

And I actually think it was and still is, overall, the best log flume on Earth.

it is getting Sea World and Uni a lot of free publicity and advertisement though
