I'll take "things that didn't happen" for $200, Alex.

Hand to God it happened.

If it did, I'm surprised a father would dampen his child's evident excitement for the sake of a sarcastic joke (who was his intended audience?).

As a dad, as long as the kid is young/nieve enough not to understand sarcasm, you are agreeing with them and making a joke to yourself, its like a double word score in Scrabble. Also some people are jerks.

The ride is no longer a mountain though? And the ride won’t take place in a city?

It still looks like a mountain. A grassy, cheap looking mountain, but a mountain nonetheless.

Splash didn’t have a giant princess tiara out in front.

Nothing says “Frontierland” more than a giant princess tiara!

Nothing says Frontierland like gushing water, lush green hills and foliage Splash had, right? Heck, most of the animals from Splash aren’t even found in the west. It never fit thematically in the first place. Neither does County Bears. The retheme will be fine.

You must have never seen a mountain in person. They are intentionally dwarfing this so it’s more of a hill. Also - it was always grassy before just more so now.

I've been on many mountains, including Mount Washington. This is definitely still a mountain, no matter what they put on it.

I think the mountain with the trees and greenery looks pretty good... It is a show building for a water flume ride... They need the height to make it work... The trees in the foreground help visually bring it down a bit.. I think it looks great... minus the mural and water tower ...lol

Whatever Disney ends up doing here, at least we will still have a fun flume attraction.

What is even going on in this thread?

 

[LittleBuford]

The Zip-A-Dee River Run story is true, but if people want to talk about whether it's a hill, a mountain, or a mound, what's the problem with that? Let's just let the conversation go on and enjoy! Why let it bother you?

To be fair, we’ve been asked to limit ourselves to construction updates multiple times. I should stop contributing to this latest derailment.

You couldn't be more wrong.

No, they're absolutely right! What is wrong with you you mountain-loving splashing zip-a-dee moron

I would never thought there would be so much lush greenery on the top of a salt mound.

Salt is very bad for plants.

It looks good, it looks "fluffy" with plant life.

 

[splah]

imagine if they never told us it was a salt dome. i suspect a lot of people would think well that's kinda silly to have a hill in LA but it looks nice.

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Looks good! Definitely looks like scaffolding is coming down...
