An extremely rare R1-G1D unit.

Hey this R1 unit has a bad motivator.

From the site we don't say - Repainting of the rock has begun. It looks like a different shade of brown/orange than the other side of the mountain.

Not sure how I feel about that color. It looks like a giant ant hill.

It's rather similar to the color of Big Thunder, isn't it?

I like to call it "pink salt"

Painting the mountain that color isn't going to make it look "New Orleans-y".

Isn't that the Himalayas? I thought that was in AK?

Perhaps the color is due to weather that’ll be on it 24/7 and will change or alter slightly?

Removing the red dirt of Splash Mountain (aka Georgia Red Clay) for a soil color more suitable to New Orleans and Louisiana will make it more "New Orleans-y" and is part of the theming of Splash Mountain, and once changed will contribute to TBA's theming.

It's always looked that way to me

They're making a mole hill out of a mountain.

I didn't know they let Moley move back into WDW after they closed his ride down.

Multiple times today during my visit I heard excited children asking their parents to ride Splash Mountain.

It was funny, sad, and little wild how often it occurred, all throughout the park. My fiance even heard someone ask in French!

When we finally walked over to that side of the park, we heard a parent tell their kids that a Moana ride was going there. Close!

I find it really funny that the Australian site for Disneyland straight up namedrops the film these incarnations of the characters originate from:

Splash Mountain | Rides & Attractions | Disneyland Park | Disneyland Resort

Embark on a rollicking log flume ride featuring characters and songs from the classic Disney film Song of the South at Splash Mountain in Disneyland Park.

Probably one of the rare mentions of SotS in these times.

The American Parks used to mention SotS before the announcement of the retheme in the park maps. Heck till the day WDW version closed SotS was mentioned if you clicked on the pictures on the website.

Here are some screenshots of the website from the day before it closed
