Kylo is a coin toss and cannons haven’t been operating properly for a long long time

The cannons are just in B-mode. Kinda the way of the Yeti. I’ve heard that there is a fix coming within the next few months and they will start working properly again but take that with a grain of salt

Sounds like they need less imagining and more engineering in developing these ride scenes to allow continued operation
"During the ride we noticed they appeared to be audio testing Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. While we could not hear what the riders were saying, we do know many of them to be Walt Disney Imagineers working on the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction, including one noticeable figure, Charita Carter, Executive Creative Producer for Relevancy Activations at Walt Disney Imagineering, who has been leading this project.
Also in the boat is Ted Robledo, Executive Creative Director at Walt Disney Imagineering. We believe this group also includes Carmen Smith, Senior Vice President Creative Development Content-Products & Inclusive Strategies at Walt Disney Imagineering.
We believe this ride-through was to listen to new attraction audio as a group. Several of the riders were wearing headphones and there was a smartphone and an MP3 device they were connected to.
This device (seen above) was used each time the Imagineering team went into a new scene of the attraction. As we know, the upcoming Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride will have the same ride path layout as the current Splash Mountain. So we assumed the Imagineers were listening to the upcoming attraction audio in real time. That doesn’t necessarily mean the ride audio is final and the music is ready to go though. Since we can’t hear what’s playing, this is an assumption, but one we’re pretty confident about.
Unfortunately, we were not able to see with our eyes (or the camera) what the audio devices said. But we can confirm this group of Disney Executives and Imagineers were continually pointing at specific ride scenes, animatronics, and props."

Granted that it closes tomorrow and this was presumably pretty recent, I wonder why they would do this during the day with guests

I'd assume they would wait till after closing hours. That's what they did with Tower of Terror in California.

Yeah I have a problem with them when the line is almost 5 hours long taking up spots for fans on the very last day. They have way more ops than guests do to ride it

“Oh yes, that AA must go!”
“Rock work? Let’s blow half the budget removing it!”

Weren’t the MK animatronics built for the Splash? Since America Sings never existed here? Or did the ones for Splash here come from Mickey Mouse Revue

Oh if this happens today then yeah that's bad optics let the paying guests go on it you have all day Monday till late 2024 to do your ride throughs. Although you have to wonder how they felt seeing all the people coming to the attraction they're replacing.

Mickey Mouse Review got shipped to Tokyo Disneyland long ago.

I wonder how much genie+ sales were up today in the MK for those wanting to ride Splash
Exactly. This is the ride I have the most memories of riding at MK. My family usually rode Haunted Mansion first each visit, but we usually rode Splash multiple times, often at night when there were little wait times. Haunted Mansion may be both one of the most iconic and unique rides in MK, but Splash for me comes in second due to both its extensive length and theming. (I’d throw in Space for third place in my list.)

What have they done in the last few months to make you think they considered guests’ desires to send off this ride in an appropriate way as a priority?

The Executive Creative Producer for Relevancy Activations picked a heck of a day and time to measure the drapes.

The non-Brer characters are at least replicas of the ones from America Sings. I don't know if it has any specifically from that original attraction. Also plausible they're backups or something. Disney used to keep both spare pieces and even complete spare AA's backstage decades ago.
Just a reminder from the first page:
This thread will serve as the ongoing thread for discussion of the attraction retheme. ANY political/social commentary in this thread will be deleted and the poster will be banned from taking any further part.
I haven't banned posters because it's likely they haven't read the first post - or have forgotten it.
But please be more careful. Thank you.
