I feel like I cannot possibly roll my eyes at this more if I tried. This is hardly an actual thought experiment and just Disney Rant #4310.
Who knows? If enough people keep voting Republican we could eventually get Splash Mountain back as Splash Mountain With Br’er Rabbit (like JII with Figment), complete with a Tiana Moon singing Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah!
Meanwhile Universal actually improves. Eventually, Disney admits defeat and turns into becoming more like Six Flags instead of Universal.
I can't physically throw up in my mouth enough to wash down the taste of this sentence.
Luckily the ride takes place in the bayou and not New Orleans! Also Country Bear Jamboree takes place confirmed in 1928 or later as it’s established that the founder passed away in 1927. The hall itself is established to be built in the 1898 so by your logic, the original owner must have retired 2 years after building this and everyone just acts like he died even though he’s clearly dead as there is a memorial picture of him hung in the room.
Still, it’s in a bayou; and the original movie is largely set in an effing city! It’s almost as out of place as Cars is. I’d argue it is just as misplaced as Cars if we discuss the tone of the land. What’s next, Marvel? You would not be defending the ride if Tiana was a Marvel character.
I would if she was a Marvel character from the same time frame established throughout the rest of the land (1840ds-1930s)
Are you arguing Splash belongs in Liberty Square? Tone wise, Liberty Square is one of the most serious and gritty lands Disney has ever made.
If you're arguing that Tiana's doesn't fit in Frontierland, I'm arguing that Tom Sawyer, Country Bears, and Splash all didn't fit either. Simple as that. None of those attractions take place both in the Frontier geographically or timeline wise. The only attraction that CAN even take place during that time is BTMRR but even that one is easily explained to take place in the 1900s instead.
Ya know what, Tiana’s works great in Galaxy’s Edge.
Where is the comparison? You have not made a single decent point of why Tiana's doesn't fit Frontierland while Splash, TSI, and Country Bears did. Or do you just parrot what you hear on Twitter?
You probably just parrot what you hear on ResetEra, for all I know.
I have no idea what ResetEra is but thank you for proving my point and still not giving an explanation I guess?
TBA is not a mountain and neither was Splash. The name of the location was Chickapin Hill. Louisiana also does have a mountain which you can easily look up and multiple hills. Besides the point that TBA takes place in a salt mine anyways.
The only way the salt mines would have worked is as a significantly darker, almost “Temple of the Forbidden Eye”-esque attraction that would have actually dealt with the ramifications of the salt mines in an operation to quell the trauma that emerged from them. Possibly even a villain using the salt mines for their own gain (such as a hideout). My idea of the ride being about Charlotte being turned into a frog would have worked, with the cure possibly lying in those old salt mines.
Hey so buddy that was a name. It's not an actual mountain and that again is not true unless Splash is suddenly 500 ft tall (the tallest mountain in Louisiana)
I fully agree that the storyline could have been better if it followed something more similar to the OG movie, I do overall like the narrative that Tiana found her success but I think it still could have been betrayed in a storyline similar to what you said.
