A few hundred pages ago I said Muppet Splash would work well. Retelling the Muppet Movie would be a relatively easy switch over since it's the same leaving home for adventure story. Plus you can replace the vultures with Statler and Waldorf.
The muppets can fit anywhere really they've been in Victorian London, pirates etc. Nothing is stopping then from working in Frontierland.
Attractions used to be designed for a well-rounded experience that appealed to multiple generations that could be enjoyed intergenerationally.
There are literally no standards anymore!
From which version?
Obviously the Disneyland version, since this is the Disneyland thread.
It sucks but what are they supposed to do? Close the ride? Old things break and the fact that it’s missing likely means they are fixing it. If it’s still missing weeks from now that’s an issue.
Brer Rabbit's honey trap animatronic was missing this weekend.
I was literally there in May, just barely a month ago, and it was in better shape than Indiana Jones. NOTHING was working in Indy. NOTHING. The lighting wasn't working, the scrim effects, the boulder, absolutely nothing. It was an absolutely pitiful experience. On Haunted Mansion, I got the Haunted Mansion holiday audio in the Doom Buggy going backwards into the grave yard not once, but twice, and there were several gags not working on top of that. both my rides on Smuggler's Run were pathetic--the screens were faulty and glitched and at least one person's controllers weren't working. The entire park is falling apart, it's not just Splash. They built the ugly mall of AC, and they have a 4th rate Spider-Man ride, and spent a kazillion dollars on it. But you're right, people are paying almost $200 for things in just pitiful states of being. I don't even think they're going to take care of the overlay, I think after about a year, they're just going to let that rot, too.I went Friday night and the ride is in awful shape. I was just on this message board maybe 5-6 weeks ago praising how great Splash was looking
How long do you think Tianas attraction will work as intended? Disney has been letting a lot their attractions maintenance go to the wayside. Splash Mountains issues are a microcosm of the US Parks as a whole.I went Friday night and the ride is in awful shape.

I love Disneyland's Splash with all my heart, but I'm ready for Tiana. Guests paying $170/day deserve an attraction that actually works. This is the Imagineers' one chance to get in there and install lighting/effects that can be maintained.
Except all the ones on Smugglers Run were messes up when I went. I don't even think screens can save it.
It used to be (LONNNGGG ago) that if a major show element like a main animatronic went down, they would, indeed, close the ride and fix the problem ASAP. It instantly became a top priority. Because they didn’t want guests to experience a crap, incomplete version of the adventure. Because they were proud of Walt’s park, and the concept of Good Show was everything.

They had specials on this well into the 1990s and early 2000s showing guests what they did after dark and how they kept everything up. Meaning I am assuming that continued until then. They don't even seem to water the plants on Splash Mountain anymore. Everything at these parks, Splash included, are now broken. It's embarrassing.
