Tokyo's Splash Mountain has a thick layer of fog at the base of the final lift.
I believe Everest's sensors are different and extra sensitive than other rides due to the special safety precautions surrounding the unique track switch and brakes. Universe of Energy used fog a long time ago on the floor (frozen CO2) eventually disabled due to cost and seemingly not because it caused issues. Pirates has a fog machine in the fortress battle room, and i've even ridden it once where the fog somehow managed to travel up into the cavern grotto. No sensor problems seemingly and they didn't shut the ride down or anything. El Rio Del Tiempo and especially Maelstrom also used fog effects. And Maelstrom even had its own track switch in a foggy area. These effects were also disabled, but again due to maintenance costs I gather.
A water ride is always going to be filled with moisture and condensation regardless (especially in Florida's hot and humid climate). Fog wouldn't cause any extra issues that didn't already exist. I've even been at Magic Kingdom on extremely foggy nights before and Splash continued to operate throughout. As for the bottom of the big drop, the tunnel at the base is also perpetually covered in a very thick layer of mist from the constant splashing of water (especially when they have the additional soaker jets turned on).

Nope, the water tower tiara was the last one. It's still a log flume that they are trying to skin so that it doesn't look like it was at a Six Flags park.

Yes. The mural is still doesn’t belong there. And moss. Lots and lots of moss and fake greenery. Flowers.

Then don't use an optical sensor. Many different types available.

As far as we know none at all. It seems that mama ode is going to throw you over a cliff for some..........reason the same way Elsa threw us out of her castle as soon as we entered it in Epcot, then allowed her creation to dangerously throw us down a falls with zero visability. Maybe Mama Ode is the villain idk. I'm sure gonna interpret it that way.

Hi everyone,
I am currently planning my first Wdw trip ever and I have heard that the works on the attraction might end a bit earlier than planned, I was wondering if according to you the ride might open in August? I apologise knowing that it must have been already mentioned here but I am a bit overwhelmed with all the planning...
I have always dreamt of riding the late splash mountain but I would not miss the new version for nothing in the world.

Most likely not in August but I wouldn't be surprised if it opened in October to align with the fiscal calendar year.Hi everyone,

We really have no idea beyond "2024" from Disney .... They have said both WDW and DL's versions will open in 2024 and they started working on WDWs a few months earlier so if they maintain consistent pace at but th that woul mean WDWs will open a few months before the end of the year at least
I am more optimistic than many so I think there is a chance it will be open for your trip but as of now I would assume it won't be and then be pleasantly surprised if it is

I hope for you its open, but I hate to say it, my guess would be late 2024, a mad rush to get it open before the end of 2024, much like World Celebration Gardens in EPCOT.Hi everyone,

I also expect various failures in the first week of opening, much like World Celebration Gardens in EPCOT.

They said late 2024 initially, but have since switched to just say 2024.
It gives them more flexibility with a timeframe for opening, but I would still expect sometime in the second half of the year.
I would also not be surprised if it opens at WDW first.

We cant go by what they say. The company changes it's messaging all the time.
Who knows, they may have dropped the "late" so folks don't put off their visits till late 2024, but then again, they may have mistakenly left off the "late". They make errors all the time.
Just a hunch, this will open later than expected due to technical difficulties.
TWDC really does not care about WDW because folks show up anyway, see the standby wait time of FOP.

I wouldn't be surprised if the only villains in the ride were the frog hunters from the movie.
Quite frankly, though, I don't think there's any way they could actually add any menace to the attraction with those characters.

WDI were pushing to have it open upwards of six months earlier than they originally intended. I don't know if they received approval for this, but it seems like they got approval for SOME unspecified earlier date. They're moving very fast, even on the interior. I wouldn't put money on it (though to be fair I wouldn't anyway as I don't gamble even with safe odds), but a summer opening seems within the realm of possibility at least. Just don't plan a trip assuming you will get to ride it.
As for technical difficulties, anything is possible, but I do think it'll probably be less problematic than a new build. The most trouble they're likely to run into will be show elements. The ride system is repurposed, so there shouldn't be many unique problems with TBA's ride system that didn't already exist for Splash.
Of the AA's, probably Louis has the most potential to cause issues given his size and customizations. At least compared with the smaller animals or standard human figures (which have the same tech as those in Beauty and the Beast and Hong Kong's Frozen from what I understand). From what I was told, a number of the AA's are already built and have likely been through testing in the workshop as well.
I can vouch for there being a legitimate push to get this done earlier, that was information told to me prior to D23.

Lets expect the worst and hope for the best.
If someone told me Disney would mess up the lighting in World Celebration Gardens I would not have believed them, its far too straight forward and something that been done all over the world.
