Absolutely not! No one should feel bad or labeled bad for exercising their freedom of thought.

Freedom of Thought is that an Americanism for an opinion

Get the fog machines and strobe lights ready!

Not at all. It's still going to be an excellently robust flume with a perfect ride time for the thrill level, laden with animatronics and fun music. All with the hopefully reasonable execution including some 20th century impressive modern animatronics and most importantly much better sound and speaker systems.

If the nostalgia goggles are removed it will still likely be one of the very best attractions in the resort. It might even be better than the original ride, not that many will admit it.

It's possible it could be great; we won't know what we got till it opens.

We obviously can't go by any artwork released since what we end up with will be after the budget cuts are applied.

We all must wait and see.

The best approach is to expect the worst and hope for the best.

I wouldn't read too much into this. Unless major weather delays, I can't see TBA opening any later than Thanksgiving 2024.

I could see early 2025 as a worst case scenario but I agree they're going to try to hit the Thanksgiving Christmas period.

Yeah, they don't need the marketing boost, but definitely need the capacity. Will also be interesting to see MK open a brand new attraction in party season.

In light of all the flops and Disney has been putting out, I truly think this overlay is going to flop as well. I just don't think it's going to be praised well.

Thanks for that.

Thanks for that.

Am I wrong?

Firstly, we got to wait and see.

Second, it's the same flume ride, just re skinned. If folks like flume rides, they will still go on it.

Third, it's an attraction in MK, it's gotta be as boring as the tree house to not be mobbed all the time.

Hopefully, and also possibly.

There's a heck of a lot more to Splash that made it great aside from just being a flume ride. What they do with the show scenes will determine whether the ride is good or bad.

Well those are good reasons to destroy a classic.

People will ride it no matter what crap we build !!!

Hopefully, we’ll all be surprised and it will be good…if not, it won’t matter in Disney’s eyes because the problematic problems will have been eradicated…FOR NOW…and they will move on to something else…can’t even “Kiss the Girl” anymore…

Am I wrong?

Yes. Every new Disney attraction, good or bad, is still widely praised by the brand loyalists and influencers.

People going on a ride doesn't make it great. Way to substantially lower the bar.

A great attraction takes a successful melding of them and ride. Witness Dinosaur at AK. It's the same ride system as Indy at DL. Indy is one of my favorite all time attractions. I will reschedule a trip if I find out Indy is closed. Yet I often just skip Dinosaur without a care.

Yeah, but WE know better…lol
