No one remembers the Splash vehicles taking on water and sinking?

Do you have your ticket? They sold out a stadium. So... good luck?

I mean, yes that is fair criticism. I for one though am happy they have finally decided to do something with it. Relatively excited with what they have planned.

Needs to be an actual add too…that’s the problem.
Repurposed and another lame trackless/omnimover dark ride does nothing for capacity, draw or longterm GS.
But you’re dealing with people who had a long string of good luck and convinced themselves it’s intelligence

Even though on the older videos the extension showed the reception was positive?
How about that comment section?

The more I think about it, the more puzzled I am about all the backstory that was shared before the ride opened and how little it was implemented.
For example, what is the point of the biographies for all the different characters listing their individual personalities? In the ride, they have no dialogue and don't do anything other than play their instruments. So, what purpose does it serve for Pawpaw the Bobcat to have "seen it all but isn't jaded" or that Claude the Louisiana Black Bear "is frequently funny without intending to be" if none of that is reflected in the ride?
You would think we would see them doing something that reflected those personalities if it was so important for us or the Imagineers to know them.

That's true of the flume.
But not the new AA's, screens, etc.

I think they were trying to endear fans to these new characters who aren't from the movie and prove that they can still create original park characters like Figment.
It didn't work, but they tried.

Self Flagellation.
They believe they deserve it.
But there is no route to purity with this ritual.

Anyone can post their opinions. But when someone talks about years of discourse rousing them to anger, and they’ve only been a member for a few months (a relatively inactive one), it raises questions as to how authentic they are in what they say.

It’s funny, I was lurking these forums for years with no intention of posting at all and just reading people’s opinion. I’m not exactly a modest fan of Disney either it’s a huge part of my life.
I’ll never forget it, it was the Mary Poppins attraction announcement at D23 to get me to sign up for an account.
The comments on every single video of this attraction are 10-1 negative.
The ride sucks.
It’s not some inaccurate dislike feature.
If 10% of the fan base loving the new ride is good news then I guess the ride is a resounding success.

I'm not pretending but the extension isn't accurate. Is it mostly negative, probably. But people are putting to much trust into it. Most users don't even know the extension exists. The comments can be as negative as they want, all that matters in the end are GSATs.Even though on the older videos the extension showed the reception was positive?

I wasn't a huge SM fan because I don't care for water rides. I probably won't ride Tiana for years because I just don't care to ride it, regardless of the theme

It was a steady and reliable ride. TP data from 2019 had the ride with approx 6% downtime:
Which Disneyland attractions have the most and least downtime? You’ll be surprised
Disneyland experienced an average downtime of 4% across all of the Anaheim theme park’s attractions according to data collected from January through October by Touring Plans.

I can't imagine they'd be evacuating the ride over some screens and anamatronics glitching.

The individual "personalities" for the animals do not play into the ride at all. They don't even talk, sing, or have any audio dialogue.
I also find it weird how they used to hint at some Splash critters being recycled. I can get past that, but what's weirder is that there are no bird characters at all in the ride. Spoonbills, cranes, turtles, other gators... bayou animals that you'd expect to see in the ride (that were in the movie) are nowhere to be found.

Out of curiosity, how *bad* is it? Asking because I’m totally unaware.
I’m also deeply saddened that I don’t get to learn more backstory about all the employees of the co-op.
I was losing sleep at night thinking about all the wonderful story lines and have been immensely disappointed.
If 1 is ok and 10 is a disaster, I would put it around a 12.

I am a Splash fan and have said so multiple times in this and other threads. No-one has ever put me through the wringer for it.
Being fans of Splash is not what earned the posters you’re referring to the criticism they received.
