A plot

That lighting package is what should be around Pandora more

Ismael Flores1 hour ago

it really amazes me how this team of WDI did not keep most of those critters from Splash. All they had to do was redress a few of them and have kept the inside much more lively. Instead the lump expensive AA's in certain areas where the logs pass by quickly and do not get to even enjoy them. That whole area with no was and just a walled screen is just a bad choice

The thing I hate the most about the change is the awful lighting package. Why do they think that everything needs to be saturated in colors that just make little sense to the setting. what is it about this bright purples and reds some of the night pictures of the outside of the salt dome or whatever it is seems overly done.

I understand the reasoning for people hating on Song of the South because of some of its writing. It also kind of saddens me that at the same time people hate on it they are literally erasing the legacy of the actor that play Remus. Movies in that era had lots of issues when it came to race but in my opinion deleting them completely from history is not the right choice. When it comes to Song of the South people either forget or do not realize that it was the first time in history that an African America actor, the brilliant James Baskett was the first African American actor to be recognised for his work and given an Honorary Oscar. by basically deleting from history Disney and those against the movie have at the same time erased his accomplishment.

To end on a more positive note, I am happy to see more constructive/civil discussions being held both on this site and elsewhere, following the release of the footage. The shortcomings of this attraction worry me for future discussions within the theme park community as it will inevitably hang over everyone’s heads as JII does to this day, with a far more political edge to it. It’s upsetting because the naysayers will only use it’s detriments as ammunition to parade their exaggerated agendas without giving any sensible reasons for doing so. Of course this only makes the rest of us look like a handful of pathetic crybabies in the eyes of the opposite extreme. Thus, making almost every conversation over splash inflammatory. At the end of the day SM is gone, it won’t ever come back and we have to accept it, so therefore this needed to have succeeded and it did not. Discussing the merits of SM and why it had to go only results in a deconstructive conversation, and I think more people need to instead focus on the fact that TBA has failed to meet the standards it absolutely needed to. If the conversation can remain skewed towards that idea, then I feel far more optimistic that positive change will come not only for this attraction, but also WDI.

As I watched the side by side POV of old Splash Mountain and the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, I kept thinking about the degraded masterpiece from the 1500’s that was “fixed” by a modern day artist.

what is up with that ugly wall with painted foods. what a way to cheap out on some proper theming there.

The answer is (sadly) that Disney isn’t as good anymore, as the original designers of these rides were. They now design by committee and the finished products come out looking like exactly what they are, a hodgepodge of too many executives and board meetings and not enough artists making creative decisions. They had better stop messing with their core classic rides. They no longer have the ability to compete with their former selves.

What I dont understand is the imagineers who worked on this ride. Are these Imagineers not fans of Disney’s best rides. Most of Disney’s best rides have an element of danger, it’s gives the ride a memorable trait. Is it just a job to them and they don’t know what makes a good Disney ride. It’s not like it’s a budget thing, the storyline is something you’d see on a Disney Jr kids tv show. Is it a Disney animation thing? There are no Disney thrill rides based on their animated films or Pixar movies. The only one that comes close but not by a lot is Seven Dwarfs Mine train or slinky coaster but those are mild thrills that The whole family can go on these but they have no storylines because they’re outdoor coasters for the most part. Frozen rides are also a mild thrill with the small drop part and the storyline is paper thin with no element of danger. The big fall in Tianas adventure qualifies it more as a thrill ride while the lift hill provides a tense buildup and its as though they wanted to kill the element of danger and make it more kid friendly. Does the big Disney brass not want to alienate young fans of their animated movie franchises and not buy their merchandise or something? I have no idea what the endgame here is. I don’t know where the issues are coming from. The big wigs? The imagineers?

Its only a matter of time until Moist Crtical makes a short video discussing the POV reactions to this ride.

It's in flux. BBTHM Phase 2 is a decade off at best. You know Disney, lots can change.
