Reminds me of the Big Bang episode where they go on the scavenger hunt and at the end they had the coins all along and Raj says, "When we're all having fun together we're all winners."

I think it was definitely an idea in 2019, but nothing was done for it aside from that one piece of blue sky art that they pulled out in 2020

Yes. Absolutely. Cripes, this is Disney. They move slowly. They took two years to move one kiddy spinner ride a couple of hundred yards. Five years after announcement, they STILL havenāt finished WDWās Tron rideāand that thingās a clone. Iām sure theyāve had āRetheme Splashā talks and concepts kicking around for years, waiting for the right time to green light.
The Tiana rideās progress has been, very likely, going through the same ridiculous corporate hoo-hah that slows down nearly everything they do.

I never thought of that but now Iām convinced that this is the story. Itās a more impactful ending than being like āhey I found the sugar, who put it in the wrong cabinet?!ā

Hate to say it (because I want to be optimistic about this project and what it can be if done well), but I agree. Lol.
Iām withholding judgment until this ride opens but Iāll confess on first blush the Louis trumpet storyline was almost more intriguing in a very simple, slap-sticky kind of way.

Weird. I mean, they could be worth more someday, but why bother at such low prices? $7.99 isn't even worth my time to list it, package it and ship it. That's like the price of a happy meal.
I guess they are hoping for a bidding war. They're gonna be waiting a long time. Clearly, nobody wants them.

Seriously. Meanwhile people are reselling the freebie D23 Lorcana cards for $100+ (and truthfully I'm tempted to list mine at that price).
To be clear, the mountain of Splash Mountain was never a mountain and just a brilliant idea of Eisner to promote the movie Splash.
In both the telling of the ride's narrative, and in the external facade of the attraction (the way it looks), and in the actually of the height of the attraction... it's not a mountain. A briar patch does not a mountain make.

Nor does a flying saucer if you think about it.
I will miss there being three official mountains in the Disney Mountain range (yeah, Matterhorn, EE, and BGM too, but they weren't BRANDED as Disney mountains, and we all know that if it's not branded it's trash).
A shame. I used to enjoy dropping in just to ride the range, sometimes including Grizzly. I would've bought the t shirt they had but I recall it saying Mountain Man.

Youāve said this before, but it felt pretty mountainous to me by Disney standards, regardless of how its name came about.
? If Disney called it a mountain then it was a mountain. Do you dispute their other mountains?

I think the Mine is just a portion of the mountain
(likely the deepest part you dive into is the mine).
I'm disputing people who are making the point (a false one) that TBA can not effectively be put into that ride-building, because there are no mountains in NOLA. The only reason why that ride-building is called a "mountain" is because of marketing and that the previous ride did not present the ride-building as a "mountain" except in name only. Thus, the new ride does not have to find a way to include a mountain into its narrative.
Disney can call a theme park "The Magic Kingdom," but, in fact, it is not a monarchy.

Like you, I agree that the current structure works perfectly well for the new theme; the elevation of Louisiana is totally irrelevant to a fantasy ride. However, Iām puzzled by your insistence that the structure is a mountain in name only. It is up there (pun intended) with the other Disney mountains in terms of the vertiginous impression it makes. That doesnāt make it a mountain by real-world standards, of course, but by Disney standards, it more than qualifies.
