So at the bottom of the drop everyone gets automatically charged $10 for missing their ADR? Brilliant!
What's the logic of the other half of Splash Mountain being mostly untouched?

I'm guessing the north and south sides of the mountain have been untouched because work can be done on those without affecting the flume.
Once the middle portion is done, they can start cycling boats as construction continues elsewhere on the building.

I get the sense it's going to be sorta like Mission Breakout vs Tower of Terror. Instead of using scares to add to the thrill, they're using the thrill to add to the fun
An approach I was pretty skeptical about until I actually rode Mission Breakout, but now I'm a fan. I wish we got more of a balance between "scary thrill rides" and "fun thrill rides" but I feel like the fun angle will work better here

I agree that a "fun thrill" can definitely work here and the suggestions in the previous few posts could make it all work out great at the end of the day, but I can't help the feeling that a surprise return of Facilier in the old 'Laughing Place' space before the drop with the "are you ready" song as you are going up the final hill would be a perfect fit.

I think those lighted colored glass bottles are going to look really nice at night.

Honestly, that's would be so cringe and corny of them....

Does anyone know the extent of work done to the infrastructure that supported the old America Sings AAs? Did they rip out the controls and hydraulic and pneumatic systems? I'm assuming TBA's AAs will all be electric, so that would mean any re-used figures would need to be converted and upgraded, right?

Take it with a grain of salt, but rumor has it that the America Sings animatronics were all trashed.
It only it weren't for all those other sources that said otherwise...
Disney does. Why would anyone think otherwise?

Why wouldn’t it? Disneys track record is murky, but if you’re following this thread you can see the swift progress they’re making.

Practically nothing is getting reused so that won’t be much of an issue.
What sources? The ones that said the boat was being reused?

Many sources have refuted otherwise.

They were likely going off of outdated plans and information. Most of what has come out since suggests that everything being used for this attraction was fabricated specifically for it. I’d love to be proven wrong but it’s not looking likely. 10 at most for Disneyland, and only the possums (and a frog or two) at WDW if anything.

That’s fair, and I don’t personally know anything so I can’t speak to it…. Although it would be odd to not try to repurpose some of the more static figures.

It’s odd that they aren’t reusing a good chunk of the figures in Disneyland given the fact that most of them still worked well. Would’ve been an easier way to pad out the roster than having a bunch of new static figures, and it would make fans of the old attraction happy.
