Splash mountain was much better and all those kids that never rode it will never get to have that experience I’m not all that impressed this ride is pointless
I was taking my own kids that this will be the ride they’ll know the majority of their lives and as they get older they might barely remember it ever being splash mountain
@@ParkTimeAdventures well to me this ride is pointless splash mountain was so much better not just the songs but the story line and the villains and all it was phenomenal I wouldn’t have imagined it ever been removed from the park
Be for real. Did anyone really care about Briar Rabbit or whatever? People went on the ride for the drop. It’s the same exact ride but without the broken and outdated animatronics of outdated characters.
This is how a small change could drastically improve the ride. If they were to change the dialouge of Tiana just sitting there with perhaps one where she gets bound down by something right next to the laughing place. Then include a spirit of Dr. Facilier where the mama odie scene is where she turns u small. Adds more dramatic/green lighting around the vines instead of the golden lights, as well as using green and purple instead of yellow and blue for where the frogs are (laughing place) (make the lights below the water that shoots out green to look like attacks). change the screens of Louis and Tiana just.. watching u on screen to one of Dr.Facilier taunting u and have the fireflys attempting to swat the spirit or whatever away.. Dr Facilier tries to attack u one more time through the screen where it currently has momma Odie saying get ready to get big. Before we see her at the lift hill fighting a green fog machine.. Hinting that she succeeded in turning us big again. That would add tensions (especially if they include just the tail end of Friends on the other side. The part post the contract being done.. as u go up the lift hill)Then right at the end or whatever where the city can be seen in the background have like a small version of that potion bottle with a green light in it or something to symbolize his capture. And boom.. There u go disney. Theres tension.. it doesnt require too much and justs requires some new animations and changing the colors of lights.. but there u go.. Theres ur tension. even if its short.. its still tension.. and will dramatically improve the ride.
Or....they could've just left the whole ride alone in the first place, saved the money (which Disney doesn't have a lot of to spare these days) and the trouble of changing something that didn't need to be changed all around in the first place.
They tried to hide the sparsity of scenes by going with a night scene and projecting fireflies on a scrim to fill in the gaps. Not horrible, but a downgrade nonetheless.
Sorry, I have to disagree with you. the story is as paper thin as an episode of a Disney junior toddlers program. There is absolutely No element of danger at all and that usually makes the best Disney rides.
So other Disney rides without danger are bad? Space mountain, tea cups, storybook land, soaring, grizzly, jungle cruise.mark twain, haunted Mansion 😭🙄🤣
@@alucard2010 no, I didn’t say those are bad, you did. I just said the element of danger makes for some of the best Disney rides, not all of them obviously. Haunted Mansion does have subtle sense of danger to it.
@@alucard2010 no but it does hint that you may be the 1000th ghost, meaning you may die here. The ghost host tells you there are no doors or windows so you have to find a way out or kill yourslef. There are spirits frantically trying to open the doors in the hall, what are their intentions? The bride does have an axe when you come up to her. I’m not trying to grasp at straws here but the danger is subtle and not totally in your face.
“It’s not finished yet.” “Theming is not that important.” “It’s the same ride.” Well, now it’s finished. People can’t defend this re-theme anymore because now they know, it sucks. They now know that they were wrong. They now know that Splash Mountain was better. This is what happens when a company panders to some woke crazies on social media.
Or maybe, just maybe, the ride was old, difficult and expensive to maintain, with an IP nobody outside of Disney fanatics knows or cares about. Not everything you hate has to do with “wokeness,” which you can’t even define other than “I don’t like it and I’m old and crotchety.”
@@mondenkindqueen Diversity pandering aside, I can't think anyone would actually believe this is equal, much less superior to Splash Mountain. And you don't need to know the story behind Splash Mountain to appreciate the story on the ride, it till has mass appeal. I have no clue what's happening on Tiana's, if there is a story, it's just a bunch of random scenes cobbled together.
@@bobstanky9700 the story is told through the queue before the ride which we haven't seen yet, read any blog about the rides description and you would atleast that much
How awesome is it that Disney Imagineering used the salt mines of Avery Island, Louisiana, used during the Civil War, to create the entrance to the ride, so exciting to ponder the fate of up to 500 black slaves at a time while they toiled and were tortured during the Civil War (See Rice University - Avery Island for further details) covered in infected open sores from the salt, chained at the ankles and to each other and knowing they died in agony while you wait in the entrance to the ride. How brilliant of Disney to use a well documented place of heinous abuse of black people for a family ride!!! Imagine the merchandise that can be created and sold (especially for the Halloween nights) honoring certainly some the worst treatment of blacks in American History!!! Just keep in mine for those who don't appreciate beautiful fun Imagineering, for the squeamish, Disney has put up a sign on Tiana's Bayou stating "Salt Mines - Reserved - For Seasoned Veterans", meaning the tortured slaves.
Of course you're going to give it a good review, as bad as this ride looks. What reward did Iger give you for one of the few giving in a "positive" review?
This ride is complete garbage. How much did Disney pay you to say all these things? You two are about the only people on the planet who are excited about this. Did I mention how bad this ride is???
The ride was beautiful i am a big Tiana. And i look forward to riding it once Disneyland open their's ❤
#DisneyDiva ❤
Much as I'd love to embrace this new ride ... and despite incredible music, animatronics and effects.... it seems a fraction of what once was. 😔👌😏
They got rid of "Splash Mountain" for *_THIS?!?!?!?!?!?_*
Right wtf this sucks

@@ParkTimeAdventures WHO CARES OMG
😅@@schlesinger29 what story line? Fox kidnaps rabbit and throws him or us ? In briar patch and he survives? Weird
Be for real. Did anyone really care about Briar Rabbit or whatever? People went on the ride for the drop. It’s the same exact ride but without the broken and outdated animatronics of outdated characters.
The Great splash mountain replaced for this?? Very sad and especially why they changed it!
This ride sucks

@@michaelc_1955 how so? The last half is fun and not spooky. Spooky isn't danger

This ride is a joke, right??? What happened to the best ride in WDW????
“It’s not finished yet.”
“Theming is not that important.”
“It’s the same ride.”
