You what?The “intelligibility” of Splash Mountain seems to be a new phenomena, manifesting around the same time a lot of us started questioning the undue emphasis on the “salt mine” backstory.
We know that backstory contains "salt mine."nothing says salt mine like more green foliage
They’ve said the “mountain” is now a salt dome. I figure the Laughing Place section will become the salt mine considering it was themed to an underground mine shaft in WDW (not sure how this’ll work in Disneyland).We know that backstory contains "salt mine."
We don't know how it figures into the actual ride. It's very possible, if not likely, that the outside is not an actual salt mine... which is usually underground... which usually has normal vegetation on top of it at ground level.
They won't be shooting salt rapids.
Right. But the point being made above is that the outside of the dome doesn't look like a salt dome because of the lush vegetation.They’ve said the “mountain” is now a salt dome.

Saw these guys putting up a new scaffolding tower. Is this related to the new water tower?

I still wonder why they didn't use the same brown/earthy color they painted the left side of the mountain during its last refurb in 2022. Admittedly while it didn't fit Splash's look, it looked better than the orange/tan they seem to be going with.This shot contrasts the old and new colors well:

Splash was Georgia red clay and this is Louisiana dirt. Thematically correct....I still wonder why they didn't use the same brown/earthy color they painted the left side of the mountain during its last refurb in 2022. Admittedly while it didn't fit Splash's look, it looked better than the orange/tan they seem to be going with.
I get this reference!"The tower the tower! Repunzel the tower!"
They're probably thinking this color scheme will hold up better in the Florida sun.I still wonder why they didn't use the same brown/earthy color they painted the left side of the mountain during its last refurb in 2022.
