They also don’t ship Beignets in crates.Because, remember, there are no mountains in NOLA.

The moss and greenery look promising I have to say!All y'all saying the tiara doesn't work clearly haven't seen how well it compliments the scaffolding. #gorgeous.

I wonder what the half life is on that loaderView attachment 735444 Probably something like this- it’s salt!
Mountain. Hill. Same difference. It was a tall pile of “earth” with a waterfall flowing down. It still will be. Trying to downplay the height is counter intuitive to what the drop is supposed to be (a thrill).It's not a mountain any more.
Not that it was ever an actual mountain as a physical set piece, nor a mountain in the ride's story (it was a *hill*).
It was only a mountain in marketing. To promote the movie "Splash."
So, new set pieces that don't make it look mountainous are not only OK, but preferred. Because, remember, there are no mountains in NOLA.
The physical sensation of the drop won't change. All that's changing is the percieved height of the structure around it.Mountain. Hill. Same difference.

It will still be called splash mountain by the majority of guests.The physical sensation of the drop won't change. All that's changing is the percieved height of the structure around it.
The drop will be as thrilling as ever.

Like how the majority of guests still call it The Maelstrom.It will still be called splash mountain by the majority of guests.
That’s a great point - tower of terror (Cali) and guardians are the same physical attraction but provide 2 completely different experiences.That remains to be seen and will be subjective. Visual stimuli and cerebral enhancements greatly change the perspective of things. Many of which are in fact physical in nature.
Anyone who has been on coasters that add great scenery and head choppers into its design elements vs ones that are in a bare parking lot knows this difference. And that is not even considering theming which goes even further.
Let's wait until its done for people to say that the drop is physical as ever. We will have to wait.
The majority of Epcot guests didn’t even know maelstrom existed lol.Like how the majority of guests still call it The Maelstrom.
Oh wait . . .
The majority of Epcot guests didn’t even know maelstrom existed lol.
Then lets use the Guardians/Tower example at DCA - which, by the way, massively changed the physical movement of the drop profile so as to be completely dissimilar from the original Tower of Terror, which Tiana's Bayou Adventure is not doing to the big drop. The physical drop is staying the same, and therefore the physical sensations will stay the same, which is exactly what I said before.The majority of Epcot guests didn’t even know maelstrom existed lol.

People don't call it Tower anymore, they call it Guardians.
If there's no difference why are people complaining about a shift in perspective of height?Mountain. Hill. Same difference. It was a tall pile of “earth” with a waterfall flowing down.

Nor talking frogs.They also don't have Salt Domes.
Well that fact did not take the budget of the research trips. Where as the NOLA history and authentic inspiration has.Nor talking frogs
There is a significant above-ground hill taller than Splash that is a salt dome. It's in Southern LA near the gulf.Well that fact did not take the budget of the research trips. Where as the NOLA history and authentic inspiration has.
Also, I don't recall any press that this ride will feature that.
There will certainly be no difference in the actual feel of the drop.If there's no difference why are people complaining about a shift in perspective of height?

Yes, it's not in NOLA. But this is a movie with talking frogs. And an alligator that places the horn. And actual Voodoo.
And the new ride will have critters playing instruments.
But excruciatingly exact geography is the real problem!!!
