Exactly. The Imagineers have good intentions, but quite simply, 2022 Imagineers are not as talented as 1992 Imagineers and Splash had the benefit of being custom-built with a layout that matched the story. Placing a new story onto an existing ride system (especially a thrill ride) is extremely challenging. And I don’t think they are up to the job.Oh I absolutely expect it to be a worse ride than what exists now, and probably significantly worse -- it would be hard not to be, honestly, considering Splash Mountain is one of the best rides at Disney.
I just think it's silly to insinuate Disney actually doesn't intend to make it better (or at least equal). They're not going out thinking, "let's see how we can make this attraction worse!"
The drops in Frozen Ever After are largely nonsense. I expect the same here. Unfortunately.
I do, however, agree with them on one thing: when I think of Princess and the Frog, the first thing that comes to mind is…salt mines!
By the way, looks like this closes in January and they think about 18 months will do it…
