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

[Drdcm]

Injun Joe's cave may be problematic on Tom Sawyer Island, so they could easily retheme his cave to a salt mine. This salt mine theme could be what connects Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and the island.

You’re cracking me up lol. Any ideas on how to connect the other lands to Tiana’s salt mine?

The passenger vehicles in BTT could be rethemed to be salt carts

Seven Dwarves Mine Train could have the dwarves collecting salt instead of searching for jewels!

Space mountain can replace one of the exit scenes with a robot controlled salt mine

That area of the country, that BTMR is based on, is in Utah and was not part of the LA Purchase.

Nor where the Country Bears are located... probably.

Utah was part of Mexico at the time...so boom, there's your Encanto/Coco connection.

Can someone make a list of things in MK that are not problematic?

I would just like to know what will be left when twitter has finished the re-design.

The Winnie the Pooh Ride and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin seem pretty harmless at first glance. But when you dig a little deeper, you realize both attractions have a problematic lack of salt! So they've got to go.

The Little Mermaid ride gets somewhat of a pass due to the abundance of saltwater in the ocean. So it's safe for now. The Alice in Wonderland teacups now have a disclaimer at the start of the ride indicating that the teacups are filled with salt instead of the usual sugar.

Why stop there. Let’s change the name of the park to Salt Kingdom!

No matter how much salt you include the word dwarf or in this case dwarves is very problematic.

I suggest a re-theme to Moana. That movie has plenty of salt water.

I think they want to wait to see how the retheming of Frontierland and Tom Sawyer's Island to "Land of the Salt" tests with audiences before committing to retheming the entire park. While salt is all the rage in 2023, we have no idea if the salt theme will stand the test of time. While Salt Kingdom seems like the natural progression of Walt's vision, the Disney company will ultimately want to ensure that consumers are okay with the change.

I’m hoping the next popcorn bucket comes with nothing but salt

This whole talk about salt and retheming the entire Magic Kingdom park is driving me nuts. Don’t make me rub salt in your eyes!

Now that this joke has been beaten to death, please make sure you salt it before you cook it.

This theme park is making me thirsty!

That should be its name right now.

Pecos Bill and Splash are two differing Disney IPs. Under the rumored change, they'll be one Disney IP.

And Country Bears will fit because they aren't "the Frontier." They are "The South" (singing Southern songs from the 1950s).

Frontierland has regularly mixed up "the Frontier" with "the South." At the time of "the Western Frontier," the South was no longer "Frontier"... it was settled.

And across from the two Tiana New Orleans attractions is a Mississippi Riverboat. And a Mississippi Valley hang-out of Tom Sawyer.

And Diamond Horseshoe is akin to a Missouri saloon. And St. Louis was settled by the 1830s. Not much of a frontier land during the time of Mississippi steam boats.

The whole area could be called Ol' Mississippi Valley. BTMR is the one standout. It can be it's own mini-land... the new Frontierland.

They’re not grab bag though, they all at least fit into a uniform rustic and wilderness aesthetic. If “Beyond Big Thunder” and (presumably) Tiana’s Place happens, those will all be random “grab bag” properties with very loose connection to the themes and motifs present in Frontierland.

The Country Bears Theater is allegedly meant to represent the Rocky Mountains and Colorado.

So, a frontier Western/Rocky Mountain facade, but Country (i.e. Southern) songs originally sung by Country artists from the mid-20th century.

Sorta like the same thing with Splash. A Southern setting but the facade painted to blend with the Western facade of BTMR.

And people don't see how Frontierland is a mess.

Well for the Tea Cups change them to Margherita glasses. Problem solved.
