    The Good:
    - The shrink section is pretty clever, especially having the drop represent shrinking
    - Some really nice colors, especially in the lower levels
    The Bad:
    - No focus or plot. "Let's find some animals for the band! Let's find some animals for the band! Let's find some more animals for the band! Great, we found animals for the band!" Even Winnie the Pooh has the Heffalump and Woozles section.
    - A lot of the scenes are too empty
    - The screen effects and animatronics do not mesh together. The 2D screens are alright, but the 3D ones are downright uncanny valley.
    - NO BUILDUP ON THE FINAL DROP. This is former Splash Mountain, not Slightly Damp Hill. Braving the final drop was a rite of passage to me as a kid, not just "some drop on some ride".

      Agreed! I'd really like to know what focus group shot down using Dr. Facilier, because he would be so good to add a pinch of menace to this. It's too much of an ad for whatever restaurant they are building to accompany this. Dancing okra!?!

    It’s crazy how quickly people commented on it. I started watching it in its entirety as soon as this dropped yet people were able to comment within mere seconds of it dropping.
    So yeah I did watch the entire thing, I think it’s the music that is just, not good. Then the laughing place became a drug induced trip I guess? I don’t really understand the story except she wants to have a party, I don’t see party planning going on. So is it more about the journey to the party? Which I guess isn’t at her place? Though the last scene makes it look like it’s at her place? Story wise I’m lost, music wise I’m not feeling it. This doesn’t really mesh well with Frontierland. Idk. Just disappointing, probably will save myself the time from going on this ride. I liked the old story and the old music.
    It seems every time they update attractions anymore, they make them worse. Pirates have auctions now, and the hatbox ghost is ruining the nice hallway scene since you shouldn’t see him until after the seance. Even in the movie the characters don’t see him until during the seance. The hallway was my wife’s favorite scene originally.
    I just have lost all faith in the Disney Company. They need to replace Iger and others with actual creatives. Because this isn’t working.

    This really beautifully shows how the classic Imagineers designed scenes in a way that caught and surprised your eye. There was depth and intrigue in Splash Mountain that has been replaced by a certain dullness in Tiana's. Tiana, Louis and Mama Odie appear over and over, not in a way that sparks our curiosity, but just to explicitly remind us of a story that's hard to care about in the first place. It feels like a kid's ride cosplaying as an E-ticket. It's really sad, as there is so much to love about the movie and its characters. I see the respect for that in the queue, but once the ride starts we enter local theme park storytelling. Wild. Another miss.

My expectations went on a roller coaster from dirt floor to sky high as stuff was coming out about it, so of course I crashed back down when Disney dropped their ride-through. But, I’ve since leveled out.
    The thing that gets me the most is that the ride wanted to be separate from the movie to the point they ignored everyone and their momma asking for Dr Facilier to lead you up the final lift, but most of the music is from the movie!

    Honestly, the outdoor scenes on average look a lot better now, though some of the signs are tacky. In terms of the interior... it feels like it's unfinished; the final lift hill especially. I can follow the new story rather well, though it's kind of a non-entity. The most damning thing is that one of the animatronics is already broken.
    I don't like log flumes, so I don't have a big stake in this game, but it feels like an underwhelming side-grade than a substantial improvement or worsening.
    Either way it's still the same ride system, ride path, and ride style, so it's still ultimately the same ride.
    I can definitely see them closing it in a year or two to redo a few scenes and rebrand it as "Splash Mountain: Tiana's Adventure" or "Tiana's Bayou Splash" as a compromise fix a la Journey Into Imagination with Figment.

      I think the lack of story is absolutely its fatal flaw, because it reduces the thrill of the ride from being the central focus to merely an afterthought with no real relevance or practicality to the story. Splash's story purposefully built up and dramatically teased the final drop, while this one just...kind of has it for the sake of having it, adding nothing of value to the story and feeling completely out of place.

  • @bubblesbtsbias3816
    @bubblesbtsbias3816 3 месяца назад

    as a 30 year old Disney adult...i don't get the hate. the previous splash had lots of "Blank" space as well. i would admit that at least half of this boat ride is outside. And they really don't play with it at all. Even Splash had these moments ( with this video as an example). Where there really was no "story" or focus during the outside portions. And the story with two thugs kidnapping a kid...well that story line was not exactly P.C. anymore. As a child this ride actually freaked me out more often then not. One does wonder why they started with the whole food co-op thing if the next "active" scene was with Tiana searching for her Opening entertainment. Some of this could have been another hunt for the perfect recipes. Like the blank walls along the outside turns could have recipes on the walls like "greeblies".
    however for what the ride is, its an IP ride. AND THIS IS NOT THE WORST THEY COULD HAVE DONE. I was never around for the Dream Finder and even I know, they absolutely destroyed Imagination pavilion. For the IP chosen and the ride system they had. Its not like they burned their money like they did with DCA. This is still a ride worth maybe 30min to 45 depending on your want to get wet.
    Original DCA==The sharpest critique of the ill-conceived park comes from the late Disney Imagineer John Hench: “I liked it better as a parking lot."

    • @A_A610
      @A_A610 3 месяца назад

      The biggest issue with this version compared to the previous is that the story no longer matches with the physical ride. Splash Mountain at least used its story to thematically build up the final drop, making it feel much more dramatic and intimidating (and thrilling); without those same story beats, the drops are just...there for no real reason, with no buildup or practical relevance to the story.
      The one change that would immediately fix about 80% of the problems would be overhauling the old Laughin' Place to add some actual thrilling plot points to help justify the final drop more (the voodoo shadows, for example). Without that thrill factor in the story, it feels flat.

    Ok. I’m going to be honest here: this is an amazing ride. I loved Splash Mountain. I still do. BUT. What they did to this ride was really great. They blended the screens and animatronics perfectly. I’m reading other comments that are like “It’s sTraIgHt oUt of UnCaNny VaLlEy” And you know what, of course it is. Anything that was 2d that became 3d is going to look weird at first. But over time, YOU WILL GET USED TO IT. I rode this twice, and each time, it was better. People look at Cosmic Rewind and applaud it for combining thrill with music. Yet when this ride does it, people complain. That lift hill before the big drop is so much more fun than the original. Does this ride need a villain? No! Let me make it simple: Who is the villain of space mountain? Who is the villain of Soarin? But with all that, let’s not be sad it’s gone, but be happy that diversity was shared in a positive way.

    Beyond the few high quality animatronics, the overlay looked pretty cheap. Especially in the beginning where the green swamp details don’t mesh with the red clay of splash mountain. It’s like looking at a bald man who has a white beard having the courage to wear a black hair price: you aren’t fooling anyone.
    Also, I am kinda shocked they didn’t fit in friends on the other side somewhere. The Keith David’s performance and song are arguably the most iconic component of this IP. I get that Dr. Facilier died in the movie, but it is weird to see no reference to the song or character.
