The new Splash Mountain (Tiana’s Bayou Adventure) is absolutely stupid and furthers the dumbing down of Disneyland rides

There was a story they could have integrated well with the ride layout

What I don't understand is why couldn't they just retell the story from the film

Also not that many kids have seen that movie anyway so why not

If you want something so "pure and musically Disney" for your very own, you

Splash Mountain wasn't beloved? Crazy talk. That was routinely the longest line when I was a kid.

The ride was loved, the movie less so. Kids these days have no clue what it is.

The movie doesn't matter, the ride "was" Disneyland.

I'll bet there are 10 people going for the new ride for every one who boycotts

They should retheme "It's a Small World" by that logic, but they won't. Disneyland quality is going down by

I don't know, but the parks are always full.

The ride opened in 1989 and it was sort of a thrown-together theme anyway.

Tricky

Was it beloved because of the music and theme? The ride hasn't changed, right?

I couldn't have told you what the story of the ride was to save my life. I would

To not have the song, "Are You Ready" with the dancing Voodoo Dolls as you go up to the Big Drop...stupidity. Perfect

The original ride didn't make any more sense as connected to the story.

OrsoNero

Did the previous drop make any sense either?

Yes you were being thrown into the briar patch.

Much more satisfying experience. They ruined it so bad.

Who rides a rollercoaster for a story?

Outside of Disneyland yea you’re correct but Disneyland rides all have a story

Jan 6, 12:12pm

I thought a big reason was to sell merch at the end of the ride.

Jan 6, 11:35am

I'd really like to hear you expound on how this shift is a "dumbing down" of the

Tricky

Jan 6, 11:37am

Because there’s no story or theme other than movie clips and absolutely no reason to be going off a cliff.

Jan 6, 12:10pm

Come on, the original story was squeezing a round peg into a square hole anyway

Gong to Disneyland is what’s absolutely stupid.

Jan 6, 12:12pm

Yes you’re correct now but 7-10 years ago it was perfect.

Jan 6, 12:13pm

I loved Splash Mountain but thought this could have been a good fit. Then they mentioned it's not based on the movie
