But this is beyond forum chatter. It’s highly negative on every platform. This isn’t just some small group of Splash diehards on a Disney Forum.
This is widespread.

It is widespread amongst some proportion of people who watch online videos of Disney attractions. Which is to say, not widespread at all.

And all over social media.

All over *Disney nerd* social media.

So the glazers are out in full force now.
Those against it and in the middle:
"Here's a massive list of things why it's bad."
Glazers:
"Lol the general public will ride it."
Like, are y'all actually paid?
The negative comments and dislike bar are still growing. That's not only the "Save Splashers," or what ever excuse you want to make. A legitimate piece of Disney culture is gone, and replaced by a sham that poorly utilizes it's source material. People are upset.

Not just Disney nerd social media, but it apparently reached mainstream media, namely Forbes.

good point & no offense taken
Ok so only people who love Disney overwhelmingly dislike the ride.
That’s encouraging!!

I used Mission Breakout as an example for instance. Had a ton of negative feedback for multiple reasons such as thematic inconsistency and losing a classic. Sound familiar?
Mission Breakout turned out to be a success in the long run. Proved many die hard Disney Parks audiences wrong. They turned a classic into something that could be just as beloved. At least we kept the original Tower of Terror in Florida.
The only difference now is that Tiana's Bayou Adventure appears to be potentially one of the biggest fails ever in WDI history. There is no upgrade.
Who could have foreseen this? Modern Imagineering messing up a certified classic. (and yes that was meant to be sarcasm)

Yeah -- the WDW POV video only has 373k views. That's obviously not nothing, but it's a tiny percentage of the Magic Kingdom's yearly attendance.
While I personally think Tiana is very much a disappointment (especially when judged against Splash), this is really not a thing amongst the general public/average Disney guest, at least not yet.

Do you think Disney social media is going to try to paint everyone as a racist for not liking it similar as they do when criticizing Star Wars or any other Disney produced product that is lackluster.

Also I just need to throw this out here.
This era of Walt Disney Imagineering is obsessed with bioluminesense for some reason. Just because it's pretty, doesn't make the attraction better.

And I think this will have consequences for TWDC or WDI in the long run. I see Jeff Vahle or top WDI officials being asked to resign as a result.

You’re reading a statement of fact as a defense. It’s not meant as such. No one is trying to offend you by pointing out that online sentiment and attendance reality are often mismatched, nor does that mean the quality is what it should be.

Maybe it is widespread with the rabid fans on wdwmagic who watch youtube and TikTok videos all day but other than that nobody really cares.

I’m genuinely shocked its still there when it’s so simple to get rid of it. It serves no importance to the story and is a matter of just taking it out of the cage and putting something else in there.
Is it a good sign that your rabid fans overwhelmingly dislike your product?
I don’t get this.
I also didn’t know we had half a million posters here.
That is news to me.

I visited DLR for the first time in December. Pinocchio’s was definitely a jumpscare.
I think they need to address *that* before they even think about touching Tiki Room. Also - how has Pinocchio’s been untouched but the Country Bears had to go to the chopping block?

I’m not saying they’re necessarily wrong, but rabid fans are primed to dislike any replacement, especially in a case like this where Disney is obviously trying to curate their back catalogue in hopes that people will forget about what came before. I can’t think of any replacement that wasn’t contentious, though it’s obviously magnified here.
