Perception is personal, so I don't think I could judge it as "very strange" considering I feel like Mission BO, Incredicoaster, Stormrider, and even Frozen Ever After are all mid to low-effort rethemes. They all have changes and work put into them, but the work doesn't seem to be to the standard that Disney gives to creating new attractions.That would be a very strange perception indeed given how much they've already changed the it.
Thank you for saying this because it is absurd...Hi, your post is not only ridiculous, but wildy offensive. Millions of people on our earth still suffer under dictator rule and horrible regimes. Please stop using an agenda to diminish history, or the horrors many still suffer today.

Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953. Through terror, murder, brutality and mass imprisonment, he modernized the Soviet economy.www.history.com
*continues to dig whole*Hi. Nothing I said diminishes history or the horrors that many still suffer today. Tell me how this actually offends you. Canceling people/things/songs is not new. Stalin did it a lot. He usually had people killed. Sometimes he had people edit photos. In every case, when he wanted things forgotten, he did everything he could to erase it.
Disney doesn't want people talking about a certain animated feature. They have done their best to erase all mention of it. I'm not saying this is the equivalent of Stalin's actions. Someone would have to be looking for trouble to read my post that way.
As for my diminishing the horrors that many people suffer today: I do not plan to ever visit Hong Kong Disneyland or Shanghai Disneyland because it puts money in the Communist government's pocket. The Uyghurs are being persecuted because of their religion by a dictator and his party in China.
Who is taking this thread off-topic? Not me, I'm here to talk about a flume ride.
Grow up and move on, indeed.
I mean, in all fairness, many others on this same board have also rolled their eyes at posters pointing out racist depictions and decisions and the mods themselves have removed posts voicing black perspectives on this and The Haunted Mansion.Words matter, and you have revealed yourself to everyone on these boards, with your thoughtless, and harmful rhetoric.

I called it months ago that my biggest fear was all the “dead space” that would be in the attraction in the spots where the various SM critters used to be. Not to mention most of Tiana’s new friends just seem to be statues with extremely limited motion done by Life Formations… I’m remaining optimistic that the ride will turn out fantastic, but it’ll be a bit disappointing if it feels “empty” the majority of the journey (with the exception of the Louis, Tiana, and Odie animatronic figures).I presume that this will be the first of multiple scenes where an animatronic or two once sat in Splash Mountain now sitting empty.
I also presume that those goose and frog animatronics were trashed for parts like the Universe of Energy dinosaurs and most of the Great Movie Ride animatronics.
Interesting that you chose to offer excuses for silencing black perspectives as opposed to leaving it at "I don't know." Claiming ignorance, but then coming back in to explain why it might be okay to disregard and eliminate discussion of harmful ideologies present.
Let's get over ourselves and get back to talking about this rethemed theme park attraction.
You did not just compare a theme park ride to Stalin?
Every time I think this board has peaked in absurdity I see a new wild statement and it makes me all warm and fuzzy. Can't wait to see how someone tops comparing the Walt Disney Company retheming a ride to Joseph Stalin.
This feels like the Rainforest Cafe at Disneyland that they lazily turned into a Star Wars gift shop by blocking off parts of the restaurant with walls and cheap foliage- only now they’re walling off show scene areas where new animatronics could fit for absolutely no reason.Right when you drop into the mountain. The goose with the three frogs was right in front of you.

Yes, let’s prejudge the entire attraction on a single photo.Leaving AA's out of that scene where they were before, and showing us an otherwise not very impressive after photo doesn't leave me with a good impression.
I'm hoping it's a red herring.
Does everything have to be a history lesson with you? I doubt the mods like cleaning up this chat every time you try to rationalize your thinking with a 4 paragraph lecture about war and economics that nobody cares about.Revealed myself? Just cut it out and move on.
I assume this wasn't sarcasm... if nothing else, they could've kept the frogs.God forbid they keep animatronics that would still be thematically consistent within the bayou.
I've said this before, but at least when they turned Disneyland's Tower of Terror into a Guardians of the Galaxy ride, they were honest about their intentions.The goal of the project was to remove Song of the South, not to get Tiana into the Magic Kingdom.
I expect this to basically be Frozen Ever After 2.0 - good animatronics, decent special effects, otherwise not much of substance.FEA has some decent AA's standing around bland sets and pushing a storyline which feels lazy and one-note.
The person you're replying to did not prejudge the attraction in its entirety, they were judging the specific first scene shown in that clip. Assuming they filmed this recently with everything in a completed state (which is very likely, especially considering that AA installation began months ago), then it's very much fair game to compare it to what came before. It's also not unreasonable to be concerned that the rest of the attraction could be similarly sparse.Yes, let’s prejudge the entire attraction on a single photo.
Oh trust me that was sarcasm.I assume this wasn't sarcasm... if nothing else, they could've kept the frogs.
How would the frogs have not fit in a bayou? The attraction's gonna be filled with new frogs.Oh trust me that was sarcasm.
