News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[Tony the Tigger]

Folks: what is the point of guessing and stressing?

Whatever will be, will be. You'll enjoy it or you won't (you probably will, and there will probably be long lines for a long time.) Why imagine the worst? What is productive about that? What is the point? "Let it go." Ultimately, it's a log flume ride. The same log flume ride as before, with different dressing. The drop will be no less fun in any setting they come up with. I have never once cared about or even followed the story while riding Splash Mountain. "Look, there's an animatronic animal," or whatever. Cool. And...splash.

I can't imagine a scenario in which I'm so disappointed with the new decor that I don't enjoy the ride.

Throwing out ideas is one thing, but making something up out of thin air and then railing against it seems like a waste of energy, and bad juju.

The whole point of this forum is guessing.
Without it, there'd be no discussions and we'd all stay quiet until the ride is complete.

I need a jacket as it was chilly today and it seems I had not used this jacket in a while.
Look what I found in the pocket.

Ahh, the good ol' days......

this seems right for you

 

[ToTBellHop]

Will this Bayou story have a conflict? An adversary? Without opposition or villain I think the storyline would bore us. We’re already working with an uninteresting backdrop for a ride(food/restaurant) so we best have some excitement by bringing in conflict.

The villain will be a stovetop that provides…

…

…UNEVEN HEAT!!!!!

What will Tiana do? And what will be your fate?!

Wishful thinking at the time, but "Dreams do come true in New Orleans..."

Don't diss paper and stick, the plywood cutouts in Mr. Toad rock.


As if they would ever publicly admit Tiana's was a failure.

I WISH they were on that level! lol. I actually think the plywood is superior to screens. for some reason screens look sooooooo fake to me.

That takes me back!

Apparently the rail road Native American tribes have peppers, which people are speculating might be connected to Bayou Adventure... yeah...

See thats the thing, The reason for me to ride splash mountain wasn't just the thrills, I mean if I wanted that I'd just go to Hershey park and ride the Tidal Force. (a ride that drenches you). There is a reason I take a plane to get to this log flume (among other rides) and that is the "Disney Difference".

What people are saying here is that the thrill element was ENHANCED by having a dark moment in the plot because you don't exist in an emotional vacuum and external stimuli adds to the whole experience. Without that it's going to feel a great deal more bland and generic

Since they were added this week is why people think it's connected
And it's the same peppers that're on the wall posters

I hope Tiana is treating these native american folks with equity and inclusion.

Plot twist: We are the conflict!

Plot twist: We are the conflict!

If you believe (You believe)
Today (Today)
Then it's possible tomorrow
Let your heart (Let your heart)
Guide the way (Guide the way)
All your dreams will follow
Doesn't matter where you are
'Cause the spark is in your heart
Wherever you go (You go)
You have it, mmm-mmm
'Cause you are the conflict (Ahh)
You are the conflict(Ahh)
You are the conflict

There will be Frozen Ever After-esque hallway of screens that display the hundreds of pages of this thread.

Not only is my favorite ride being rethemed but it’s the posterchild for DEI. If they were just building the PatF ride the fans want it would be an easier pill to swallow.
