Really all you are left with then is the merch sells better if the tv show property does well.

Retheming attractions historically occur when an attraction is no longer popular.

That was not the case with Splash Mountain.

So it is at best, mostly a lateral move to the guest.

And honestly i think you are being extremely optimistic because i cant see this being anywhere near a lateral move…. Splash was a classic especially with the music in the ride. Just cant duplicate that.

Looking at the photos and trends of rethemes and construction of the last five to ten years, it would seem awfully optimistic that this thing will be opening in less than a year from now.

We don't know what's going on in the inside of the structure so we can't really tell how slow or fast they're moving. Like it or not the exterior isnt going to show us since it looks like thats getting the least anount of work done. As for the timeline I'd hope Disney realizes that they need to open Tianas asap at least for Magic Kingdom

We still have tons of people (myself included) who gripe about the loss of Mr Toad, DL's Peoplemover, Imagination v1, Horizons, World of Motion etc. The idea that Splash will be any different is absurd. Splash was also far more popular than any of those other examples too, and there's a vast crowd of younger audiences who will remember it and have access to decent quality recordings of it.

The only thing that would nullify some of this backlash is if Tiana is of similar quality to Splash. Something that has almost zero chances of happening. I don't expect it to come close either. Even IF the desire and budget is there, WDI doesn't have the talent to pull it off.

I don't think anyone is suggesting people can't/shouldn't be upset -- e.g., I personally think the EPCOT of the early 1990s was a much better overall experience in general (including a stronger attraction lineup) than anything WDW offers today.

It's just that there's no reason to repeat the same comments weekly (and I'm not suggesting you personally are doing that, either).

I never said know. But going by the trends...

There is also the aspect of synergy now timing too. This was designed to be opened around the time of the Disney Plus series, which is now severely delayed.

I was also just going by the exterior. That ground was just torn up and we have not in ten years seen Disney replace it so fast. (points to EPCOT)

Oh dear god, yes!

Even when I agree with the general sentiment, it becomes such a drag when threads become the same comments repeated over and over again.

They may need to, but they won’t. Less capacity with Genie+ = more RPU.

Yesterday was the first time I've been since construction started in earnest. I was surprised how small the water tower is IRL - it looks bigger in the pictures. Between the small size of the water tower and the removal of the stump, it really does look smaller. Just my observation.

Seeing how Disney takes forever to build anything nowadays it's not unreasonable to be skeptical about the time frame they set out. I agree that what they did to EPCOT dosen't build confidence since it's still a construction zone.I'm just saying it's going to be hard from our perspective for this attraction to see the progress since since the exterior is super similar to what it was before. I also believe there is a good chance the opening gets pushed back to 2025.

Photos from today of the outdoor queue area. Scaffolding has started going up at the buildings in the back.

Boat rides (not 4 person max capacity boats) and Omni movers. Make more rides like this. Make people eaters.

The thing this flume will have going for it is the number of logs available. As long as they have a similar capacity to the past ride vehicle.

Yeah I'm assuming the logs will still be able to fit 6 for Disneyland and 8 for Magic Kingdom so that capacity should be similar unless Disney announces they will remove a few logs.
