Yes, but that was way worse.

Oh I agree just was saying splash was my Journey into imagination.

Haha sounds like I am one of the few who actually thought they did a decent job.
He was available to consult on this attraction and CLEARLY told to go away.
Tony’s left foot has more talent then this entire group of imagineers combined.

No, the negative people just post about it non stop.

Oh there's more people out there.
As with anything it seems, social media is overwhelmed with complaints, disdain, hyperbole and that's just on recipe threads I read.
People who like it probably don't care to get into the fray.

Has the same feeling a lot of other rides have after a re-theme, you can tell the ride came first and the story was laid on top, the final drop being a metaphor for making a splash at the party makes no sense. The new animatronics are neat, but that's unfortunately undermined by the use of screens in places where practical effects would have been better. Overall I'd say it's a step down, but not a complete disaster. The biggest problem is the tune is nowhere near as catchy!
The bar was set much higher than decent.

I mean, I just don't how some of you don't see that it's a clear technological upgrade. The AAs are much, much better, even if there are fewer. The set design is more detailed (albeit a different creative direction). Yes, the screen before the lift leaves a lot to be desired but otherwise I thought it was well done, well timed. It has it's mix of fun, calm and chaotic scenes.

The AAs are the only thing I appreciate about the ride itself. They are very well done. The exterior lighting package is also nice.

Needed to do much better than “decent”.

I should correct myself then, I think it's way better than "decent." I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw this morning.

A nuanced conversation about it is not really one worth attempting to have at the moment as it will quickly be buried under two pages of the same group of a few people saying the same things they’ve been saying since the change was announced.

The best part of the ride is the frog playing the drums.

It is and it isn't. The AAs that exist are mega-upgrades to what was there before. But there are probably 1/3rd of the # of AAs in this attraction than in the one it replaced. And at this point, I think the vast majority of Disney superfans hate screens; we just do; they are lazy.

Who are you exactly that someone should feel the need to defend anything to you? Let alone their own opinion.
You shouldn't be so bothered by other people's enjoyment of a ride video.

FWIW, if you showed a random (non-Disney fan) person a POV video of Splash Mountain, they wouldn't understand what the hype is all about. I think a lot of you are looking for something that isn't even tangible. I don't even think you know what you were looking for. I personally find the sets way more immersive than Splash. As much as I loved Splash, I didn't feel a sense of depth beyond the walls of the attraction sets. Perhaps that's a product of them being daytime scenes. Regardless, while there are a few noticeable shortcuts (really just a handful of strategic locations where AAs should've been placed), I thought they did an excellent job.

There’s just clearly way more fauna and flora than animals/animatronics. Definitely less exciting… also I personally don’t like how spotlighted Tiana/others gets versus softer lighting to blend into the scene.
