I think the primary problem in Tiana’s is that there’s no narrative conflict, no suspense. The original laughin place felt delirious, ridiculous in a way. Tiana’s version is “sanitized” and doesn’t ask much of the participant. This is particularly clear right before the big drop. In Splash, Brer Rabbit is in captivity, about to be eaten. To the viewer empathizing with him, you feel as though you are in danger as well. In Tiana’s the narrative is telling you, “let’s do a conga line!” As far as “thrill” and plot relevance, Splash definitely wins. This certainly has to do, in part, with the fact that the ride was designed to fit the narrative, which put Tiana’s at a disadvantage anyway. But they definitely reduced tension or “fear factor” (at least for little kids) to make it more appealing to a wider audience, at least on paper. Probably not the best choice, as Disney was never meant to be “easy viewing,” but an adventure. Personally, this is what concerns me the most. In Disney’s attempt to “universalize” or “sanitize” their work as a means of being inclusive or inoffensive, it has actually become much harder for guests to enter into the world that is supposed to be for them. This is a paradigm shift in Disney’s philosophy and there’s not much anyone can do about it. At least that’s my opinion.

Ok I’ll put it like this, I think they did a great job with the animatronics (even though they’re already malfunctioning) and the special effects but that’s it. The theme and music in my opinion doesn’t fit the track itself very well. If they would’ve just built Tiana a whole brand new dark ride then it would’ve fit a whole lot better. One of the best things about Splash Mountain was the music, it went so well with each section of the ride. Welcoming riders with happy music like “How do you do”, then changing the tune to something more dark and serious once getting to the vultures and the final drop, then finishing with happy music again like “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Da”. I feel like Tiana’s garbage just had happy joyous music throughout the entire ride. At least Splash Mountain took riders literally through a ride of emotions. Just my opinion, they dropped the ball with this trash

My only real problem with the new version of the ride is the buildup to the drop. Splash did it so much better, giving it an actual narrative that made the buildup to the drop foreboding. Why did the new version leave out Doctor Facilier and his spirits for this part? He was one of the best parts of Princess and the Frog and would've been great for that. Instead of that multicolored light on the way up imagine a projection that had his spirits swirling all around as you went up there with "Are you ready?" going in the background.

Genuinely the biggest issue with the retheme is that the existing ride system is just such a _terrible_ match for the story they're trying to tell, and they don't work well together at all. If they didn't want to commit to being a darker thrill ride, why reuse a thrill ride set up with those darker story beats in mind?

One of my most distinct childhood memories is riding Splash Mountain when I was five. I remember the creepiness and feeling of entrapment in that final tunnel before the big drop 100% added to my suspense, it had my heart racing I was so scared, and I LOVED it. It was thrilling in a way few things were when I was that age. There’s a reason I remember the feeling so well even though I was so young. I feel as though they could have done something similar with this rebrand while still keeping it light. Get kids’ hearts racing by having Dr. Facilier laughing near the peak of the drop, and fill the tunnel with the crazy colors and shadow minions he summons during his songs, which they could do using the same lighting mechanism they already have. I guarantee that would make the thrill of the ride much more memorable to younger kids than just the anticipation of the drop alone would, all while still making it fun and light for them.

Seriously, I thought about that song all the time. And #3: there definitely was no tension for the drop and nothing leading up to it. Makes the terrifying drop pointless. Tiana’s should have just been a flat boat ride with no drops. Given these factors, I probably won’t ride it again.

Splash Mountain was clearly designed, engineered, and built with Splash Mountain in mind. Redecorating it to fit the Louisiana Bayou makes zero logical sense. It only works inside the mountain, which shouldn’t exist, until you go up a random hill. Sure. They try to make sense of it with the spirits or whatever, but it just looks cheap and breaks the immersion. It seems like a cheap redesign in a pitiful attempt to keep the park fresh, but it falls short because they planned and executed it poorly by forcing a them that doesn’t work for the design and layout. Disney can’t stop asking for L’s.

I loved Splash Mountain, but like, this isn’t terrible at all. People were acting like there were big chunks of unfinished areas, but the dark and tableau elements are all the same. Also, point of note: this is not a “Classic” ride in the sense that it’s from the first two decades. It went up in 1984; long after Walt had died.
@A_A610Ай бұрын
"Classic" refers to specific examples of a given medium that will be held in high regard for a long time to come. While some classic attractions are indeed older, there are still examples of newer attractions that can be held in that same regard (Splash Mountain being of particular note because of how its design heavily influenced other thrill rides going forward). TBA is not a modern Pirates or Haunted Mansion tier attraction; it joins the likes of Stitch's Great Escape and Rocket Rods in terms of poorly recycling their (much better) predecessors.

Splash Mountain had charm, animatronics, & had parts of terror, that was necessary for a log flume For Tiana's Bayou Adventure, half of the indoor section is just screens, the plot is more confusing, there is absolutely no terror, & it just feels like a cheap remake. Splash Mountain wins Tiana's Bayou Adventure should of remained in the scrapbooks

It feels too happy now, the moments before the drop are supposed to be dark and chilling, they just slapped lasers in the lift hill and called it a day, it’s lazy and cheap, they should have just left splash the way it was, now time for the real competition, Tiana vs Jurassic World the ride at universal studios, they got the drop right, they make it scary, people get offended too easily these days and need to stop being so sensitive

I went on it last weekend (My daughter is a cast member) and we got soaked! I have never gotten so wet on that ride before! So not to worry it's plenty full and you WILL get very wet. (Thankfully we brought a change of clothes, including under ware) Overall it was cool, but I do have to admit I'd like Splash Mountain better. But I also remember when they opened Splash Mountain (I was 12) and how excited I was as it was the biggest/new ride they had opened in a while.
@jefethlopez6151Ай бұрын
I mean im not sure if they mightve changed the splash levels at the time you went, byt when me and my gf went, we got DRENCHED. I have never been more soaked on a water coaster. We needed to buy extra clothes because of how soaked we were. We went roighly the first week the ride was open for cast and magic members. The ride was really fun, but i do hope they reduce the splash level because that was a little too much lol.

Not a bad ride, but Splash is just sooo much better in almost every way. That finale scene might be the only real competition Splash has with this new ride, I think it’s absolutely incredible. But other than that, the animatronics aren’t as animated and there’s not as many and the music was far catchier in splash (but it’s still pretty good at tiana’s)

The core problem with the ride is that the existing ride system just does not fit with the story they're trying to tell. If they wanted a ride inclusive and welcoming of everyone, they should have used a tamer ride system without height requirements that actually _would_ be welcoming of everyone.

My daughter loved it. It’s a ride and she knew the characters. I know many people are complaining but Disney is not an adult theme park. It’s for kids. I know Briar Rabbit but my kids don’t and to be honest splash mountain looked quite dusty over the years. It was old. I’m in my 40’s. That bear concert thing is old too and I think that was my mothers generation we just went because it had air conditioning. Disney is evolving for the new generation. Disney’s need to change that jungle book ride too. It needs a refresh.
@A_A610Ай бұрын
It's one thing to refresh an older attraction for a new generation of audiences, it's another when an attraction purposefully built for a particular kind of story with careful attention to detail gets "refreshed" with a half-baked revamp that for some reason tries to do the opposite of everything it was originally designed to. I don't necessarily care that it was rethemed, but I do care that the new story really doesn't match the ride system they're trying to shoehorn it into. Splash Mountain committed to being a thrill ride, and that's why it worked so well; TBA for some reason want to pretend it's not, and that's why I feel it doesn't work anywhere near as well.
@princessmarlena1359Ай бұрын
Walt did say “I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty.” and “Adults are only kids grown up.” He made it for adults to enjoy with their kids, and when the kids are grown up they can enjoy it again, hopefully with their own kids. If they were going to re-theme it, fine. But Walt also had a principle that if you replace something in the park, it needs to be even better. This is not.
