Wait…..

Legitimately curious as to what people want instead of the Tiara. If it wasn't there, we already know people would be complaining about the "generic water tower."
That said, I DO wish we got the design from the original rendering, logo and all. Maybe they decided this version of the tiara was too Fantasyland-esque, but it's more visually appealing imo.

Going to go out on a limb and say if people wouldn't like a generic water tower and wouldn't like a water tower with a tacky crown on the top then the solution would be to not make a water tower.
or possible the imagineers know what they are doing and it will all makes sense and look good when it is done and the vast majority of people will be happy with it
I know for me, outside of this forum, 99% of the comments I have seen or from talking to people are positive about the Water Tower already

Maybe to disabuse people that that hill isn't a "mountain" (as if it ever actually was except as a marketing ploy)?the tower looks bigger and taller than the mud hill itself, think that wasn't on purpose? this just reeks of words that cant be used here.
This notion has been discussed again and again, the running theory/“confirmation” is that they want the “mountain” to look smaller, since this retheme will bring more of a focus to younger children.the tower looks bigger and taller than the mud hill itself, think that wasn't on purpose? this just reeks of words that cant be used here.
By all definitions, it was a “mountain”. Especially in comparison to the other two.Maybe to disabuse people that that hill isn't a "mountain" (as if it ever actually was except as a marketing ploy)?
But the drop will physically remain the same (not aesthetically), so it almost seems deceptive to market “the same attraction” (as many of you have described it) to a different demographic. Unless they figure out a way to go down the drop in slow-motion.since this retheme will bring more of a focus to younger children
Maybe they should have rethemed Space Mountain to Tiana since it makes the least sense as a mountain! This connects back to @Bocabear ’s idea about Tiana in space!By all definitions, it was a “mountain”. Especially in comparison to the other two.
I don’t think “deceptive” is a good choice of words. If you think about attractions like Rock N Rollercoaster or Guardians, one could say those are “deceptive” because from the outside you would never know how “intense” those attractions are.But the drop will physically remain the same (not aesthetically), so it almost seems deceptive to market “the same attraction” (as many of you have described it) to a different demographic.

Rock N Rollercoaster is hardly deceptive. It’s marketed as a thrilling coaster in name and visuals. The marquee of the attraction features a limo driving upside down.I don’t think “deceptive” is a good choice of words.

It’s just about the “optics” of the attraction, as for drawing kids in.

When you approach RnR there is an actual ride car that you walk under which is mounted upside down on a spiral track.I don’t think “deceptive” is a good choice of words.

Maybe that will be announced at D23 since there doesn't seem to be anything else to talk about...lolMaybe they should have rethemed Space Mountain to Tiana since it makes the least sense as a mountain! This connects back to @Bocabear ’s idea about Tiana in space!![]()
No, they want the mountain to look smaller because it's being rethemed from a mountain to a salt dome, and salt domes aren't as tall as mountains. None of Louisiana is known for excessive elevation, so they're downplaying the height to fit that new story.This notion has been discussed again and again, the running theory/“confirmation” is that they want the “mountain” to look smaller, since this retheme will bring more of a focus to younger children.
