    Riding the original Splash as a kid I'll never forget the fear and tension building up to the drop. The creepy music, the vultures mocking you. And then pure joy and celebration after surviving the briar patch whilst Zip a dee do dah plays in the background. Tiana's has no drama. Stories need danger and high stakes for the pay off to be satisfying. Dr. Facilier and tons of voodoo masks singing Friends on the Other Side would have been so perfect. Man, Disney messed this up...

    I am African American and Splash Mountain was one of my favorite rides because it told African American folktales that would have otherwise been lost to history. What I think even Walt Disney would not have liked a lit this ride is that it doesn't even twll the story of the Princess and the Frog. No Prince, No Villian. No glimpse of what the story was about. I used to work here too so that hurts.

      My thoughts exactly. Animatronics are amazing. The Backdrops are amazing. The storyline SUCKS. KIDS want to see what they KNOW. They want to see the story they watched in the movie. Could have had a cool scary part with the big drop with Facilier. I was waiting to see Tiana in her Princess dress at the end. And the end, with all those animatronics, you barely get to see them all because it goes by too quick in that part. That should be slower to check everything out. disappointing.

      You could at least have the music going, have some lanterns on either side of the path with string lights between them, like you’re on the path approaching Tiana and Naveen’s doorstep.

      ChatGPT:
      Designing a ride for "The Princess and the Frog" using the layout of Splash Mountain involves creating scenes that reflect key moments and themes from the movie. Here's a detailed description of the ride, scene by scene:
      Queue Area:
      Guests enter the queue, themed as the bustling streets of New Orleans. Jazz music fills the air, and guests pass by storefronts and markets, immersing them in the lively culture of the city. Posters of Tiana's restaurant and various characters from the movie can be seen.
      Boarding Area:
      Guests board log boats at the docks by the bayou. The loading area is decorated with bayou vegetation, fireflies, and rustic charm, setting the scene for an adventure into the swamps of Louisiana.
      Scene 1: Introduction (New Orleans)
      The ride begins in the heart of New Orleans. Guests float past Tiana's Palace, where animatronic figures of Tiana and Charlotte are seen discussing their dreams. The city's architecture, jazz bands, and lively atmosphere are depicted with vibrant colors and music.
      Scene 2: Bayou Encounter
      The logs drift into the bayou. Spanish moss hangs from the trees, and fireflies light the way. Here, guests encounter animatronic figures of Tiana and Naveen as frogs, meeting Louis the alligator and Ray the firefly. Louis is playing his trumpet, and Ray is introducing himself, with humorous and heartwarming interactions.
      Scene 3: Dr. Facilier's Voodoo
      The mood shifts as guests enter a darker part of the bayou. They are greeted by eerie music and glowing masks. Animatronics of Dr. Facilier and his shadowy friends appear, showing the scene where he tries to trick Naveen and Tiana. The atmosphere is filled with suspense and magic.
      Scene 4: Mama Odie's Magic
      The logs ascend a gentle incline, entering Mama Odie's treehouse. The scene is bright and colorful, with animatronics of Mama Odie, Tiana, Naveen, and various magical objects. Mama Odie sings "Dig a Little Deeper," offering advice and wisdom. The room sparkles with light and energy.
      Scene 5: Journey Through the Swamp
      The ride transitions to an outdoor scene where guests float through the bayou, encountering various wildlife and the bayou residents. Music and sounds of nature create an immersive experience, highlighting the beauty and mystery of the Louisiana swamps.
      Scene 6: Conflict and Resolution
      Guests enter a tense scene where Tiana and Naveen confront Dr. Facilier in a final showdown. Animatronics and special effects depict the intense battle, culminating in Dr. Facilier being dragged into the spirit world by his shadowy friends. The tension peaks, preparing guests for the upcoming drop.
      Scene 7: The Big Drop
      The logs climb the final lift hill. At the top, guests see Tiana and Naveen transformed back into humans, realizing their love for each other. The view from the top shows the beautiful bayou and New Orleans skyline before the log plunges down the thrilling drop.
      Scene 8: Celebration
      After the exhilarating drop, the logs drift into a joyous scene of celebration. Animatronics of Tiana, Naveen, Louis, Ray (now a star), and other characters are seen celebrating at Tiana's Palace. The scene is filled with music, dancing, and vibrant decorations, capturing the festive spirit of New Orleans.

    This ride was SO EASY to do right. Have Tiana exploring the bayou in search of Louis or Prince Naveen or something. Then have Dr. Facilier show up with his Friends From the Other Side warning you that you shouldn’t have entered the bayou, and he turns you into frogs. Then have the big climax you escaping Dr. Facilier and turning back into human, with the big end scene being Louis playing with Prince Naveen and the band. That would’ve been EASY and a home run, but nope, they make a boring ride about going to a party? Snooze fest. They turned one of the best thrilling and feel good rides into a bore.

BOOOOOOOOOOO DISNEY COULDVE DONE BETTER SND THIS IS WHY I GO TO UNIVERSAL. Disney just wants money from yall, didn’t put that much effort clearly. There’s too many parts where nothing is happening or shitty animatronics that barely move are all over the place. AND THE TV screens kill any magic created I’m sorry….

      I really have to agree with you. This revamp needed an element of darkness to balance out the overt and unnecessary saccharinity which was added to the storyline of this attraction. Every Disney attraction has this dark element. It is what makes the parks work. Everybody survives the evil and gets to win. This is why Walt coined the phrase "The Happiest Place on Earth." He wanted to set the guest up to always feel like they survived their own fears and nightmares-they get to win! In this version of the story, being "shrunk down." is more presented as of a novelty than an actual bad thing. Even Mary Poppins only gives us only a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down, not the entire bag!
      I truly wish the projection fireflies were better. I would expect such amateurish schlock from Knotts or Six Flaggs, yet Disney? WTF? Has leadership actually laid off so many animators there were no FX animators sitting around with some idle time to create some believable fireflies? I certainly hope WDI can fix this trashy effect before the more discerning eyes of their Disneyland audience gaze upon this glaring oversight.
      Credit does goto the greenery design team though! Makes me wish they could give Pirates and Mansion a little cosmetic refresh! I would love to see what they could do with a little $$$$ to two 50+ year old attractions which continue to draw in the crowds and merchandise $$$$ which = Brand-Banking (execs reading these comments)

      Everything after EPCOT is decidedly post-Disney -- not Disney at all.

    Have no feelings either way about Splash Mountain getting changed or updated, but this seems so lifeless. It's boring and while the animatronics look neat, it seems to be just a few random scenes slapped together with no real story or drama. This ride goes on longer than others so it needed a good story, but instead, there's just dead space lit up by flashy lights and a party narrative.
    Tiana absolutely DID NOT get the typical Disney princess treatment here. Seems like they just did this to say they had a Tiana-based ride.

    Some of the scenes are cute, but they removed all the dramatic tension and suspense from the previous ride. Even when Tiana says "We have to find them!" there's no urgency. The big drop goes from a thrilling escape to "Let's get you to the party!" It doesn't even seem like you're *late* to the party! I guess that would have been too much tension? 😅

    I'm not even gonna comment on how you ruined one of the absolute best rides at all the parks; but if you were gonna do Princess and the Frog, this was the best you could do? There is no story, half of the ride is dark sections with the same repetitive screens of fireflies, songs with singing in the background but nobody is singing, cringe dialogue.
    I know Splash will never come back, but this ride needs to be indefinetely delayed and completely reworked. The only good part of this ride is the end scene which could stay but the rest of the ride leading up to it needs to be overhauled.
