The one positive thing I can say so far about Tiana’s version is I’m SO HAPPY they went with good animatronics instead of those HORRID projected face ones.
It’s one of their least profitable and popular princesses you’ll never see a little girl dressed as Tiana. And Spash Mountain absorbed crowds like a sponge. What are they going to do when people skip this or don’t come because the laughing place is gone?
I loved the music from Splash. Irreplaceable imho. This video reminded me of just how much they had let Splash get rundown. I too wish they had just retold the entire movie.
I agree! I know replaying the movie isn't popular for ride creation anymore, but it's a good story and a good ride. That comp would have really worked and it's a missed opportunity .
The song Friends on the other side would have been perfect for the final lift hill "are you ready" would have been a great lead into the drop.. just saying.
Disney (and more so Tiana) never had a chance with this ride. It was replacing nostalgia. It was replacing an Iconic Disney Mountain. It was replacing sing a long songs that are decades old. It was replacing a ride with wonderful storytelling. And it was replacing a ride that we enjoyed with our parents when we were kids, and our kids now that we are parents. Tiana was forced to fit a Louisiana Bayou into a mountain ride layout. And now her ride is forever entrapped in controversy.
Maybe I’m dumb but at least with Splash Mountain I understood the story… we were getting thrown into the briar patch. With TBA I dont’ get it. What is the point of us getting small and then getting big again?
The story of tiana’s is that tiana wants to find music artists for mardi gras (or however its spelled) and she and louis find musical critters which she brings to her mardi gras festival at the end of the ride
I have a theory on the ‘tiny’ part. I think the imagineers had a section of the ride with a very low ceiling they couldn’t change and someone came up with this idea. It’s fits with the original movie plot (leads turned into tiny 🐸). Not to mention it’s an effect used in other classic Disney rides like Adventure Thru Innerspace and Body Wars.
I will always have great memories of Splash Mountain but to be honest one looks as good as the other. Pirates of the Caribbean "Disneyland" will always be the best. Thanks to Disneyland Beat for their time, work and posting.
They should have used pocahontas as the new theme ride. Log flumes are similar to her canoe. There is a scene where she dives off from the waterfall in the movie. It could be used for the big drop
I’m gonna echo with somebody else said, splash mountain forever, Bayou never and I miss the cute little animals that sing the happy happy song when you go to the drop off and you know what song I’m talking about the only reason I’m not saying the name of it here is because RUclips will probably kick my butt.
To make it a fair comparison I feel the time of day should be the same. I had high hopes for Tiana’s ride and now I feel she should have had her own ride and Splash Mountain updated.
They killed Splash Mountain, for this load of garbage? Disney has done some stupid stuff, but this is proof they hit stupid and kept on going (sorry to quote Vic Vance).
Ray was my fav. But if they hadn’t repeatedly shown, Tiana and Lewis, you wouldn’t have as much of a cohesive storyline. And people would complain for sure.Lol
So by the looks of the "new Tiana" adventure, I am assuming that when I go to my local dollar store I will no longer be able to find any Christmas lights or plastic flowers? I would prefer them to have made an entire new ride for this princess and left Splash Mountain intact.
They have said that the song is racist. They'll make it about racw for everything in order to get want they want. Honestly i love the movie but they should have made it pertaining to the movie
keep moving forward..... this ride will be lots of fun and nostalgic once it opens in CA ..... and no negative jerks are going to prevent me or my pals from riding Bayou Mountain
@@Snooziac I I think it’s possible I’m certainly nostalgic for New Orleans, the movie is what 16 years old now so you could’ve been a 10-year-old watching it and just now as a 26 year feel nostalgic on the ride. I know I love the movie and more so my kid loved it so much that it’s kind of special to me. I guarantee you I wouldn’t be defending the ride as I am if it was themed to Frozen. lol
Looks exactly the same with different animatronics. Animatronics in the same place and dead spaces in the same place. Nostalgia for a water ride is blinding reactions. It's the same, nobody could follow the story of Br'er Rabbit either unless you knew the story.
Facts lol im like it’s exactly the same different music and different animatronics. Sad to say this ride didn’t stand a chance with a descendant of African slavery Princess. If it was Moana or frozen it would’ve been taken better.
Thank you yet another amazing comparison. I kinda like SM more than Tiana’s. The music is better for Tiana’s , but there just isn’t a story…..nothing to take the guests from start to finish. SM had characters that people were familiar with, due to their America Sings appearance. TIS as is nice and people will identify with the ONE movie associated with it. It would have been better to re-theme SP…..different songs perhaps.
Fair critique! Thanks!! Personally I think despite the stakes being lower it’s a successful overlay on a great flume system. I probably have a stronger connection (Disney is nostalgia but each generation has their own) to Princess and the Frog than some. But I love it. I do think a little conflict or danger would add to the new ride.
I think there is potential in brother Bear for a theme park attraction. It’s one of the lesser well-known works, but it has a lot of cool visuals and spirituality and animals to it. It would be a good one. Pocahontas nor do I think Disney will be doing a whole lot with that property.
Yeah that’s fair - it’s a composite of several ridethroughs I had. Honestly Disney did not maintain the ride well at all in its last decade! Often lights were low or out. The new ride is much brighter.
I have only ever been on Splash 3 times in my life. and as pretty as it was. I couldn't really tell you what was going on lol. The new version has less in it. but I think it's not nearly as bad as people are making out... I personally don't mind it. I do find the drop a little anti-climactic though. the original was defo better on that front
People (including me) hate change. Splash holds so much nostalgia for me and millions of others so it's hard to let go. There's a few things in Tiana I like better than Splash. I had no clue Splash even had a storyline LOL!! I did enjoy the visuals but I was just there for the big drop to be honest and that will be the same when I go on Tiana! :D
Both are great! Tiana has more details but Splash Mountain takes it with its story. Both are great! Only downgrade for Tiana is that they use projected screens which sucks. They could have done something better
Same ride essentially, it looks good enough to me. The old animatronics seemed to be often faulty so I think it was a good revamp and retheming. I don’t understand all the hate, I can understand the nostalgia sentiment but not the hate
I love it! I think is a huge improvement. The animatronics are next level. The music is very catchy and upbeat. The story is very enjoyable for enjoyable. Splash Mountain will be missed. It was time for a makeover. However Tianas Bayou Adventure grow on people become a fan favorite over time.
I have no nostalgia for Splash Mountain because I’ve never been to Disneyland. So, speaking objectively based on these two videos, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure looked more interesting to me: more colorful, upbeat music, and better animatronics (obviously because time marches on). Granted, the Splash Mountain video seemed too dark to get a good idea of what it was like, so I could change my mind after seeing another comparison. EDIT: Okay, I watched another video (good ol’ RUclips and its creepy algorithm), and I can see why people loved Splash Mountain so much. Not sure about my choice now. Splash Mountain had more animatronics and thus, more to see overall, but Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is more visually appealing to me. Granted, I wasn’t put off by the aesthetics of Splash Mountain. I don’t know. It’s a toss-up for me. I don’t think Tiana’s looks as soulless as people are claiming, though.
Tiana's bayou is almost as boring as the movie was. Now wait it's worse cause there's no villain. This is gross. Good job Disney even your own CEO finds this ride shitty should or kept splash mountain
Iger greenlit this. He’s the one who made the call to permanently shelve SOTS. There are no accounts of his saying he doesn’t like the ride. Even Baxter and Eisner contributed and greenlit this ride.
@@TheDisneylandBeatI have a hard time believing that Tony Baxter is happy with this new overlay. All of the personality of the ride has been stripped away.
@@thedearleader7054 I wonder if it’s perspective, it’s unlikely the 30 and under crowd had any idea what was going on in Splash Mountain. But you make a good point
@@TheDisneylandBeat if you turn off the audio and watch splash mountain, you can tell it’s a story about a rabbit out smarting a fox and a bear. If you did the same to Tianas one would have no clue what was going on.
@thedearleader7054 I’m not so sure. How would you know the rabbit is outsmarting them - I don’t think that’s clear through visuals only. If you didn’t know about the being tossed into the briar patch from the story you wouldn’t know, and the drop wouldn’t be part of the story. How did the rabbit escape? What are all these other animals that look like they are from the old animatronic show, what purpose do they serve to the story. Why are there mom animals telling stories to their kids. Why is there a riverboat at all - makes no sense. Whose boat is it? Were the animals just trying to throw a party this whole time? I actually think it’s confusing.
They could’ve just fixed up splash Mountain but no, they had to give us this dumpster fire instead I have nothing against Tiana. I can’t stress that enough honestly if anything, this is deeply disrespectful to her as well as to splash mountain because one this is a complete downgrade for what Tiana should be getting in my opinion and for another why didn’t they just give Tiana her own ride and leave splash Mountain as is or as I said The darn thing if they think it’s so bad because this is just this is abysmal.
It's a shame that Disney buckled to 21,000 online signatures that basically claimed Splash Mountain was racist and needed to be replaced despite millions of Splash Mountain riders have no problem with the attraction. (Apparently, those 21,000 failed to realize the characters in Splash Mountain were black and they simply got them replaced with a black frog princess. Note that at the end of Splash Mountain black Brer Rabbit wins by fooling his captors and escaping. Most Splash Mountain riders had never even seen or likely even heard of Song of the South.) Tiana's Bayou Adventure is not bad. It could have made a fine Fantasyland dark ride. It just pales in comparison to it's predecessor. At least Disney didn't just turn the mountain into a gift shop or just close it up and abandon the mountain.
Everything about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is better. Change is always good. I think most people are upset because it’s a childhood memory of theirs that is now gone. Most kids today don’t even know anything about a Splash Mountain and Mr. Toad. In order for a song to be catchy you do need to hear it over and over. That’s how you learn the lyrics to a songs. So embrace all the changes and just enjoy the ride. Splash Mountain was great for its time.
Mediocre movie..mediocre ride. Splash mountain was put to rest for this? It’s gonna suck for the un-imagineers who will have this version compared to the a true iconic ride. This looks cheap and slapped together. Story line doesn’t make much sense.

For me, it is almost the same, but I prefer Splash Mountain, because I like the cave / canyon setting more than the swamp setting.
Fair.
The one positive thing I can say so far about Tiana’s version is I’m SO HAPPY they went with good animatronics instead of those HORRID projected face ones.
Yea. And the new ride looks really pretty at night.
im glad they picked "gonna get you there" for the song that plays in the section where "how do you do" used to play; it's even more catchy
The new ride feels like a cheap temporary overlay to promote the Princess and the Frog movie....
Right? And didn’t that movie come out in 2009?
It’s one of their least profitable and popular princesses you’ll never see a little girl dressed as Tiana. And Spash Mountain absorbed crowds like a sponge. What are they going to do when people skip this or don’t come because the laughing place is gone?
They spent a fortune on this. It isn’t coming together well but it was not cheap. I bet this went wildly over budget.
@@darkridearts someone got a sweetheart, back door deal. 😉
I loved the music from Splash. Irreplaceable imho. This video reminded me of just how much they had let Splash get rundown. I too wish they had just retold the entire movie.
It’s sad seeing all the empty scenes where animatronics with personality used to be.

If they would of just recreated the movie instead of wasting the time to create an entirely new story it would have been a worthy successor.

Yes
Tina's bayou venture Disney makes me feel that I could be the strongest princess than anyone can be

I wish we kept splash mountain at Disneyland. Just because not only it was the original, but it had more feel.
Exactly! Disney is the home of a lot of original attractions splash mountain really should’ve stayed!
They should have used pocahontas as the new theme ride. Log flumes are similar to her canoe. There is a scene where she dives off from the waterfall in the movie. It could be used for the big drop

Mediocre movie..mediocre ride. Splash mountain was put to rest for this? It’s gonna suck for the un-imagineers who will have this version compared to the a true iconic ride. This looks cheap and slapped together. Story line doesn’t make much sense.
Mediocre movie??? Huh. Well different strokes for different folks. It’s top ten for me.
It's a mess. Period.
Fail.
Tiana wins
Nope! Splash wins!
I don’t see how anyone can honestly say Splash Mountain looked better. You’re in denial.
It's the story, music, and theming that made it great. Tianna has better technology but the ride is flat at best
@@brianhenry7983THIS!! Agree with you 100% Splash was a thrilling experience that had the perfect balance of both an upbeat/lighthearted vibe as well as a dark eerie vibe. The drops fit well with the story and made it a little scary but also exciting.

I think that’s a very fair critique. Love the new ride but the stakes are very small. Literally no conflict or danger just warmth, music and nostalgia. More on par with Pooh, Peter Pan or some of the country based Epcot rides.
I think they upgraded the lighting and effects, but Splash had better music imho and I liked the feel of the ride. Something that is hard to recreate.
Underwhelming!
