I still can't get over that we lost such a classic for whatever this junk is
@courtneycaudill47853 ай бұрын
The whole point of splash mountain was the tension building throughout the ride for the big drop, that is completely lost in TBA. Had hey stuck to the original Princess Tiana film & theme and kept key characters while building up for the big drop, we would be looking at a ride far better than splash ever dared be. The imagineers fumbled this one, and I dont have to be "racist" or "in a cult" to admit this.

Really great to compare the 2 versions of the ride. I do think Splash was better. At least at Disneyland, it really did have that Critter Country vibe to it. While Tiana is not terrible or anything, it just seems to lack the feeling that Splash had. I think Tiana is now an attraction lower on my list.

Worst retheme ever. Splash when it was taken care of steamrolls Tiana's, its so much more iconic, every song is memorable and Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah left a bigger impression on the end.

@AuraLeafstorm3 ай бұрын
There are, but you'd probably be sacrificing video quality in order to see the animatronics back when they were at their best. There are POV recordings of the ride from as far back as the 90s that you can find if you dig around a bit. Edit: the Splash Mountain at Tokyo Disneyland is actually very well maintained too, so you could probably find a much more recent POV of that version of the ride, as it's still operational today.
I still prefer Splash Mountain to be honest. I know TBA fits the New Orleans square segment a lot but it doesn't have the same charm as SM.

I can't believe that we lost one of the best rides ever made for...whatever that green abomination is. Tiana could've been EASILY a DL exclusive, or at least been it's own thing without having to sacrifice Splash for it, much less on BOTH coasts. TBA is plain boring and has almost nothing to see. All the good theming was lost and replaced with cheap stuff, even the signs have no personality. Those animal animatronics can't even blink nor move their mouths. So many sculpet details replaced with cheap fake plants and some LED lights, not to mention whole animatronics replaced by screens. I don't even need to comment about the story, because there's barely even one. Splash was one of the MK mountains, it was an important icon for the park, it should've been untouchable like Haunted Mansion and Pirates. It was the most iconic and recognizable log flume ride ever made. It had a perfect cartoony and silly vibe, it truly felt like you were getting inside of a cartoon world. Heck, they even removed the personality from the logs, that Brer Rabbit ornament was super iconic, they could've at least added another one, idk, not just leave it empty and without even properly covering the shape where Brer Rabbit used to be (you can clearly see his shape in the logs). The songs are boring and quite annoying. There's no good focal point in the outside design, and much less contrast of colors. And that whole "Tiana corporate thing" is very unappealing and overused. This is probably one of the worst mistakes Disney has ever made, and the way they're treating the Brers and anyone who likes Splash is disgusting. TBA is one of the most boring and unattractive rides I've ever seen. It's a toddlers ride inside a thrill ride track. It doesn't make any sense. Disney doesn't know how to make good rides for the US parks anymore, and they have the audacity of asking for more money and deliver less quality. So sad to see what this company has become.

The fact that a 30+ year old ride is better or even the same as TBA indicates the bad state of the American imagineers. TBA is boring, basic, and cheap and should have never gotten the green light until Disney had the budget and an actual story.

@@clutchgod4932 at one point splash was my favorite ride of all time even though I was a little bias. I acted like people act on the internet today. Now I can admit it has problems but seeing others praising the attraction in areas or ways people did not like or care for is genuinely upsetting, especially when Tiana fix’s a lot of those problems. Yes the ride has problems but the good things are fantastic just like splash. You’ll always see people hate on stuff like tianas just to hate, but when you stop wearing about the past realize that your just hyping things up because, well nostalgia, you’ll actually understand how impressive and cool tianas really is.

It's mid at best, but because it replaced something that was much better, it's gonna amplify the bad reviews specifically because it doesn't measure up. The biggest fail seems to be that they were trying way too hard to play it safe and please everybody, and completely forgot that the ride was built as a thrill ride and inherently isn't for everyone. The story they are telling absolutely does not match with the ride system they tried reusing.
