If the new version of the attraction is good or bad, there is nothing that you can do about it either way. That's it. That's all there is to it. Expanding any amount of energy on what may or may not be that you cannot do anything about is absolutely pointless. Because of how this all played out (largely in people's minds), it will be absolutely impossible to gauge if it's actually good or not. Even if it's not good, people will never admit it. If it is good, people will never admit it. If you want to ride the new version, ride it. If you don't, then don't. No one is forcing you at gunpoint to ride it. If it's gonna be bad, then it's bad. That's it. There's nothing you can do about it.

I thought that photo of the two ladies with the painting looks just like one I have of my wife and daughter at a “You Can Paint”
event they went to at our local community center

There are a lot of art styles that look primitive or purposely stylized to look simple, like anyone could do it. E.g., a Mondrian could be easily put together by a child (I've seen an elementary art class create Mondrian-styled art).

The paintings of the artist who did PatF:The Ride art concept follows such a style that has roots in African-American culture.

Im going to respectfully disagree at least from the pov of not wanting Splash to go… if the ride is good i will admit it but honestly being good or not has nothing to do w the fact the ride really didnt need to go and Tiana could have been built elsewhere. I do think tho that anyone who is hung ho for this change and been saying it needs to go will never admit the ride stinks or is not as good if it fails to deliver. Like i used w my GMR analogy. MMRR is one of my favorite rides now i lost track how many times we rode it in November thats how much fun we all had on it. Still didnt justify how theylet GMR rot and replaced it with this… especially when its been said it could have went elsewhere…

Splash, maelstrom, energy, gmr, others. I think alot of people arent just upset about splash being gone, or Tiana coming. Its the fact that we close rides to reopen as something else and spend millions. Instead of an update of the current attraction or a small retheme (splash could get a few animatronics removed a new name and song and still be the same ride (easily could have been tied to BTM or even SEA).

Tiana in this case should have received a themed area with restaurant and ride. Not a ride shoehorned into an already existing building that will limit what they can do

How much better would the parks be if we added mickeys runaway, guardians, frozen and tiana as additions without the subtractions?

Parks need additions and proper maintenance not letting rides rot then replace them and basically leave the parks short on capacity during the refurb and then open up w less capacity and less reliability at times.

I know, right? It’s a good thing Song of the South took place in the Wild Wild West for accuracy of the land. Oh, wait……

Ive never once mentioned accuracy etc I know you arent pointing me out but to me thats somewhat overrated just my opinion especially when it comes to a park that caters to children who really arent too concerned about cr*p like that. Not once have i said Tiana doesnt belong there bc of a time era etc. if anything ive said the opposite specifically regarding Galaxy’s Edge. To me yea you want some synergy but again over rated for most part as long as you dont have a mish mosh of stuff all over the place…
