TBA is awful but I don’t think it’ll be One n Done for the vast majority of people. You still have the thrill aspect and people that will want to cool down on hot days. Basically, the stuff that didn’t change from Splash Mountain haha.

I'm at the Haloween Party right now. I suppose I'll ride it again just because.

One and done per trip maybe. Speaking from experience riding the Florida version, I would marathon Splash. I rode TBA twice (with a gap of one week between those two rides) and I was done. The only reason we did it a third time was because I had booked a Lightning Lane 2 weeks prior.

There are no hidden details to warrant repeat rides. The soundtrack does not fit the track layout, nor is it as engaging and catchy as Splash. It's pretty boring. Like you said, it's only there to get people wet. It's not an E ticket Disney Dark ride anymore.

Definitely not following the Baxter design philosophy.

My cousin, who would try to get on Splash at least 3x a visit, said Bayou was a one-and-done for him. He enjoys the drops, but the story was a no go for him.

It feels weird to go on a ride whose story is very pre-school and elementary aged, but my 3 and 6 year old are waiting for us to get off because they're scared of the actual ride. Like I would enjoy it more if I could experience it with them. I think something like Under the Sea for Tiana's plot would have made much more sense.

There’s something hilarious about a thread of people acting aggrieved about doing something fun.

“I guess I’ll ride this thing a third time, but I certainly won’t enjoy it!”

(To be clear, not saying criticism isn’t warranted, just found the level of grump funny from people begrudgingly riding the ride multiple times while frowning.)

I think something else taking over the Splash building would have been better... I would have preferred they create a new IP specifically designed to fit the Frontierland location...Change the mountain to closer match the rockwork and range of Big Thunder... Use some of the Wester River Expedition ideas.... and then Purpose-build Tiana a ride based on the actual source material instead of some board-room committee storyline... Placed where something with a New Orleans theme would make sense... Even if Animal Kingdom had a new area with animal exhibits based on the American Bayou Flora and Fauna, and a New Orleans Square area... With the Tiana ride as it's center... THen Tiana would not be a disconnected add-on, but the centerpiece of a whole area dedicated to the IP...

Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

Disney has gigantic warehouse archives... sure they may save some,that doesn't mean they will ever be seen or used again.... They will just be squirreled away in a vault..... Maybe they will use the vultures again in Villain's Land....

I've heard most of the stuff from Splash was tossed due to the fast turn around and that only Disneyland’s Movin' Along Br'er Rabbit was archived. I'd love to be wrong, though.

Got a lightning lane and plan to get a VQ for this ride, will report my thoughts. Hope I get a good boarding group, going during the first christmas party so hope the ride doesn't break down too many times.

I just saw on Wikipedia a claim that somebody proposed retheming Splash Mountain to Robin Hood.

Considering that, among other things, the description of this hypothetical attraction got Maid Marian's name wrong, I assume none of that is true.

Neither the Splash Mountain nor the TBA wiki pages mention that. Do you have a link?

After watching like a hawk I finally got an earlier time. Kind of ridiculous this ride is still VQ or LL at this point. Wonder if it will go under refurb or they will skip it until 2026.
