This isn’t my “bright idea for a fix” by any means. I’m simply joking at the type of “fix”. Took no effort on my part, just took the Journey Into Your Imagination to Journey Into Imagination With Figment playbook, scene by scene, I’d imagine WDI to try to pull off judging off past, similar poorly executed ride redos of the past.
In truth, if I had any say. I’d say do a new Br’er Rabbit traditionally animated series that leans more into Splash Mountain than anything from Song of the South, including brand new storylines that feature his escapades with Br’er Fox & Br’er Bear.. but maybe go further into featuring the other animals seen in the ride too or getting into their unique stories. Series could be called something like “Critter Country” or something like that…then bring back the original ride with enhancements and new spfx & tech to improve the show scenes, but yeah, just a pipe dream that sadly under current management hasn’t got a chance. lol
