That sounds so dumb, I’d be in line day one.

Rumor Tokyo Disneyland Splash Mountain Retheme Discussion

I always thought Winnie the Pooh would fit well in Splash Mountain, something like Pooh's Honey Mountain. However, there's already a great Pooh ride in this park.

Hey, at least it won't be the first time Pooh kicked an attraction out of its home.
I’d be down with a Winnie the Pooh log flume. Laughing place becomes heffalumps? “Beware” before the big drop? The rainstorm becomes the big splash? Only thing I’m not sure of is the finale scene?
An entire room dripping with honey and “Rumbly in my Tumbly” (no idea if that is the song title or not)?
Maybe all the gang reunited for a party with a lot of honey and a special element for the party (you!).

This is terrible.
Tbh one property I thought would make for a good splash-esque log flume isn’t a Disney one, it’s SpongeBob imo, especially with plankton. He tries to steal the formula, his foiling involves a drop. Maybe Plunge a big drop into a cave of jellyfish that he gets stung in or something?

Universal has that for a plan.

Splash was lightning in a bottle. No idea how Baxter came to the conclusion of combining the Brer Rabbit story and the "three phase soundtrack" of SotS with the America Sings animatronics with a log flume, but it was genius. The fact that the ride is/was the representation of the 'story pyramid' most of us are taught in High School, both narratively and physically with the drop, is incredible. They can try and replace it, but they will never get results as good.

I was wondering since Tokyo standards are much different from the States, can’t Disney just swap out the main characters for other cute kawaii animals in similar stye with a different story and a few different scenes (i.e. laughing place, finale)? Maybe they can research and take inspiration from a Japanese children’s myth and adapt it in full Americana Critter Country style. Nobody dictated it had to be an ip-ride, and it’s not linked to SotS anymore.
I saw the plans for it for universal bejing, the boat ride. That what i based that idea on
Like in America or the cancelled boat ride plans from China? And actual log flume or just that boat ride.

People have wanted them to rip out Toon Lagoon for years and retheme it to Bikini Bottom. That would probably take an extremely long time though.

What do we think?

I hope not. Not because I don’t like the concept, but because DLP is in desperate need for at least one original and one of a kind attraction. I was already disappointed when they copied remy‘s ratatouille adventure to Epcot

i think its better for OLC to get pocahontas, Moana or Zootopia flume ride if they ever plan to revamp splash/critter country.

That is a whole other can of worms the company probably doesn't want to open up.
Funnily enough, I walked by a Pocahontas meet and greet at Animal Kingdom this morning and was reminded of this thread.

For what it's worth, Pocahontas has her own rock work section at Fantasy Springs.
