Splash Mountain at Disneyland in California will have its final day of operation May 30, 2023, before it closes to begin the transformation into Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in late 2024 at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain in Walt Disney World closed in January, with extensive work on the iconic attraction already underway.

Although the Walt Disney World version appears to have a head start on its Disneyland counterpart, both are planned to open in late 2024.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is based on the Disney animated movie, 'Princess and the Frog.'

Mountain Luther? It has 99 Theses', but there's room for one more.

And Disney will call it: Age of EnLIGHTenment.

Whoa, now that’s a projection show I’d actually watch.

I see what you mean, but to me it's still Martin Luther in his Mountain Form: Unfortunately I couldn't find a painting with him sticking his tongue out.

This is exactly what I see. Glad I’m not the only one seeing it.

They were going for the hammerhead look.

Are we saying that salt mines should be well manicured? LOL

Now we’re talking.

Would you want another water tower on the other side?

This is exactly the issue. You'd think they could at least try to make it more symmetrical.

I was referring more to this specific spot, where it looks (to me, anyway) like the mountain is midway through a haircut. I actually kind of like MK's foliage overload. I accept this may be an unpopular opinion.

Same! Should have followed the film and not tried to tell this random follow up story

I would have agreed with that until the Broccoli and Lamprey Mouth took over the two U.S. Splash Mtns. Of course, there’s still Japan…
