Here's my hot take: the vast majority of Splash Mountain riders go on it for the flume and drop. The vast majority don't love the theme and don't care about the theme. Some of us are bothered by the theme but ride it anyway when the heat gets to us.

They may not care about the IP as such—the characters and stories aren’t known to many people—but the dark-ride elements are certainly a draw. Log flumes are nothing remarkable in themselves, but a highly themed log flume that lasts several minutes is something special. None of this is an argument against the retheme, of course, since Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is going to remain a highly themed log flume that lasts several minutes.

Can I claim your hot take as my hot take? Cause it's exactly how I feel as well.

The Disneyland version barely has a theme, or a plot at all. It's just cacophony and noise and animatronic geese flapping their wings at you as your log races by in confusion and slamming into the side of the flume.

Heck, I'm still mad about America Sings closing! Why can't we have a thread about that?

Mike and Sully at DCA is straight up retelling of movie, not a sequel story.

Tower of Terror isn’t “after” any previous TZ story.

And all the rest of those are “Greatest Hits in Disguise”, not really “further unique adventures”.

So the question is- in 30 years, will the Tiana theme be as popular as Splash?

Or, will it be as popular as however popular Splash would have been in 30 years?

Who knows? I doubt many at Disney who won’t be working there in 30 years are concerned about that. They want no representation of Song of the South in the parks, period. This was inevitable.

For all we know, big theme parks won’t exist in 30 years and everyone will use VR (which will have evolved to nearly Ready-Player-One level immersion by that time) whenever they want to escape into fantasy worlds. There might not be a big enough slice of the population willing to pay INSANE park admission prices to sustain a huge theme park operation.

I’m just saying Disney’s got a very real issue to deal with in the here and now. And they’re dealing with it in their own clunky, corporate, committee-driven way. And the Tiana ride could actually be BETTER than Splash 1.0.

I still think Knott’s Timber Mountain is still the very best log flume on Earth. Its theming is spot-on and it’s a smoother, zippier, better-paced ride. It’s the perfect log flume.

…The fact remains: No attraction with the this strong of ridership and its amount of decades has ever closed at a Disney Park before. It is not opinion and thoughts and hopes for the rethemed are irrelevant to it.

There’s a first time for everything. Theme park rides are not meant to be The Great Pyramid or Mount Rushmore. Splash 1.0 had a long run. It’s over. Broadway shows close. One amazing sunsets fades, gone forever, to be replaced by another amazing sunset. Movies stop playing on huge screens. Favorite foods stop being manufactured. Epcot gets turned into Stupidland.

This is true. And it echos my point. I never said it was wrong or it had no I right to change. This all started with someone posting that this situation had more dissatisfaction in numbers than they had ever seen disliking or denial for. Even more than Toad. Your post and mine explain why.

Also, Most Disney great attractions including Splash Mt are far superior to Mt Rushmore IMHO. Totally overrated by a lot who go.


Knott's Flume is fun. Moves way too fast to comprehend a lot the first ride through compared to a Disney pace but it is classic flume fun than a boat ride pace that happens to be a flume.
it is in house goodness, even with structure and tech such as speakers plainly visible. The safety song is awesome and funny!

It was the first thrill ride I ever experienced and even now there's nothing quite like entering the cave and dropping into the dark.

Gran Fiesta and Runaway Railway are their own original self-contained stories featuring the characters.
