Also, completely ignoring the controversial aspect, let's just pretend that Song of the South was on the chopping block regardless. If Splash HAD to be replaced with another IP, what would you suggest that would be better than what we're seeing with Princess and the Frog? Half of the movie takes place in the bayou! I challenge anybody to find a better IP to retrofit Splash with minimal changes that isn't Pocahontas (because people seem to LOVE using that excuse as if it somehow would have been the better outcome) - and yes, I am implying that what we're seeing now is still Splash with minimal changes. This isn't like Maelstrom being retrofitted for Frozen Ever After where we saw a complete shift in theme. Almost everything that made Splash Mountain iconic will still be there. I like to believe that Splash Mountain the "place" isn't changing, but rather, its inhabitants.

I do agree Princess and the Frog makes sense. However The Muppets could be retrofitted into a flume ride. They have catchy music and are still recognized by many of the audience. You could plug The Muppets into anything and they wouldn't feel out of place since they have done so many different genres.
Ducktales has a sense of adventure to it. Has a colorful cast of characters and It's related to one of the fab five.

I would normally be like, nah this wouldn't work, but changing the mood of the finale Zip-a-dee Lady scene into a rousing emotional chorus of Rainbow Connection would be kinda legit


Feels like we haven't seen a lot happening in terms of exterior work lately, maybe they're almost ready for the water tower to go in and are awaiting its delivery/for the social media team to be ready to film it for promo lmao

I think the grass removal and painting will happen before they install the tower but as the work shifts to the interior we will "see" less and less progress and it will seem as if little is happening. Happens with all the construction we watch.

Yup Rainbow Connection would work well as a finale .
If they follow the pattern of announcements they have been on which is after they do something or hit a milestone they release information. Case in point once Disneylands ride closed they talked about who's doing the music and the influencer interviews. When Magic Kingdoms closed they dropped the backstory (which admittedly didn't do them any favors) Once MKs water tower goes up maybe we'll get more information on the interior at some point.

I get people want to minimize the underwhelming stuff released so far as “backstory,” but where did the notion come that we don’t know what’s going to happen on the ride (or the interiors)? They’ve explained it multiple times.

Don’t get me started on the muppets. There is so much potential there Disney just hasn’t figured out how to use correctly yet.

While I enjoy the Muppets, I really don't want to see them outside of Hollywood Studios.
I really don't want to see them in the Magic Kingdom.
To me, the Muppets will always be Sesame Street.
Seeing them in other areas of the park turns those places into Sesame Street for me, and not Disney.
I know Disney owns them, but that doesn't change that perception for me.

Sesame Street? With all the adult humor?
I personally liked the recent ABC show that only lasted one season but oh well. Back on topic
