It seems the blasting zone finale hasn't been working for some time, so hopefully that is the focus.

I don't think Splash Mountain at Disneyland is going to close. I believe the rumor it is going to be DisneyWorld only.
It’s closing.

I will believe it when I see a official closing date announced. And even then I will take it with a grain of salt until that day comes and goes and the day after construction starts.

Indeed it is.
Why is it so hard for you to believe that Splash is toast here, too?

Because it is still open.

No, but they did it to gain public favor at the time. I suspect had they not made the announcement when they did, the ride would remain open.
At the time it was closed due to the statewide shut down, and Disney was likely trying to get ahead of public controversy- but now it's been operating since 2021 with long lines and minimal public outcry.
ChatGPT got that covered...Comedy Gold! Not just a protest, but a "Sit In", like it's 1961 at a Woolworth's lunch counter in the South! Priceless.
These people are detached from reality. It's a log ride at a theme park, with singing chicken robots that will be rethemed into different singing chicken robots, plus a different talking alligator than the current talking alligator. There's not much else to it.
I'm more interested in how the employee-owned cooperative that runs this salt mine is going to handle this. Where is their statement?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
New Orleans, LA - [Date] - Tiana, owner of the New Orleans Food Co-op, issued a statement today regarding the recent sit-in protest against the conversion of a local swamp into a food market.
As a black woman and a community leader, I am committed to creating opportunities for economic growth and sustainability in our community. The proposed food market will provide access to fresh and affordable food for our community, creating jobs and supporting local farmers and producers.
We understand and respect the right to peaceful protest, but we believe that the protesters have misunderstood the benefits of this development. The food market will not only bring economic growth but also promote sustainability and environmental justice by supporting local producers and reducing the carbon footprint of food transportation.
We believe that this development aligns with our values of community empowerment, sustainability, and economic justice. We will continue to work with the developers and community members to address their concerns and find a solution that benefits everyone.
As a black-owned business, we are committed to creating opportunities for our community to thrive. We believe that the food market will bring much-needed economic growth and job opportunities to our community, promoting sustainability and social equity.
We urge the protesters to engage in a dialogue with us and the developers to address their concerns and find a solution that is mutually beneficial. We are committed to working with our partners to ensure that everyone in our community has access to healthy, affordable, and sustainable food.
Sincerely,
Tiana Owner, New Orleans Food Co-op
You believe a shady and disreputable source over Disney's public press release?

I had a Disneyland AP since the early years of the Clinton Administration to just before Covid. I have been on Splash Mountain dozens and dozens of times over those decades, plus the versions in Florida and Tokyo many times. I had absolutely no idea there was a difference between the talking/singing alligator before the beehive drop and the alligator who is chewing on the foxes tail past the riverboat. I just assumed they were the same alligator shown at different times in the story arc (of a frantic log ride that has an impossible to follow plot line anyway).
And so for that, I thank you! I had absolutely no idea! I love Disneyland trivia, and I just learned something new.
That said, what is the name of the alligator that talks/sings at you just before you go down that beehive dip drop in the dark?

Because it's a log ride with an unknown plot line based on an unknown movie that has lots of singing chickens. And a pig playing a pipe organ. Because of racism, or something. Shut this thing down! Think of the children! And/or stage a Sit In to protest not doing this!

I’m not sure he has a name. I’ve seen him referred to as “Hitchhiking Gator”, a combination of his apparent occupation and his species. I suppose we could just call him Charlie.I had a Disneyland AP since the early years of the Clinton Administration to just before Covid.

I've always heard "Take-Me-Along-Gator." Because he sings "Take Me Along." You got the trio of them in the finale as well. They have always been some of my favourite AA's.I had a Disneyland AP since the early years of the Clinton Administration to just before Covid.

I doubt they will, but it'd be great if the Swamp Boys could be preserved in the new Tiana ride. Thematically they pair well with the bayou and aesthetically they're not too jarring.
