Are we pretending the story to Splash was confusing now? Honestly, it was arguably the most clearly conveyed ride narrative in the Magic Kingdom.

“Please don’t throw me into that briar patch.”

It wasn't necessarily confusing, more just that the majority of people didn't associate it with, or know, Song Of The South, so they didn't know as much of the story as Imagineers hoped

Not sure how reliable it is, but being that they announced tron months before I suppose we could expect them to announce like 6 months ahead a time.

Perhaps I'm a terrible Disney fan, but I had never heard of these characters before we rode the ride. The only thing I knew from the movie was the song.
On the ride the sound quality wasn't the greatest and could not understand what most characters were saying, so we just watched the animatronics, listened to the music and enjoyed the ride. I never did a deep dive into what the ride was about because frankly did not care. We just liked it.

I think this is pretty normal.

That's the way it was for me.
I knew the rabbit was being pursed by the bumbling fox and bear, and that he escaped in the end.
I didn't get him convincing them the throw him into the brier patch as a plan of escape.
Aso, I'm lucky if I got to ride this ride eight times in my entire life.
Most of those rides separated by a minimum of a one year interval.
You forget a lot about a ride in that length of time.
It's kind of new every time.

This revisionism happened just around the time some of the more bizarre narrative choices began to be released for the new ride. “The old ride didn’t make any sense either.” Pretty transparent what they were trying to do.

I had a similar thought, the discontent over the office isn’t because it’s an office, it’s still a result of the ride being based on a co-op.

Walking through a skippers office, full of maps and navigational tools, sounds fun.

Walking though Indiana Jones office, full of artifacts, sounds fun.

Walking through the offices in Flight of Passage and MIB, full of aliens and technology, sounds fun.

Walking through a co-op office sounds boring, when I envision a restaurant or grocery store office I picture work schedules, invoices, bills… none of that sounds fun.

It’s not that the office is a bad idea, it’s basing a ride on a co-op that’s a bad idea, it just doesn’t sound fun or exciting.

And yet nobody has seen this "office' yet. I will wait to see the final product before deciding if it is a bad idea or fun and exciting.

Yeah, they even posted a poll where 70% said they had no problem tracking what was going on in the ride. This thread, incidentally, opened the day WDW Splash closed and details were starting to trickle out about TBA

Intelligibility of Splash Mountain's plot

I created this poll in response to a discussion taking place now over in the Splash Mountain thread. How much of the plot did you personally understand from the ride alone? The options I've provided seem to cover the full spectrum, but please let me know if you think I should add any. For those...

You’re making some very strange assumptions here. What do you make of a poster like @Incomudro, who is one of those who found Splash Mountain narratively unclear yet did not want it rethemed?
