Splash Mountain: Princess and the Frog Edition 

@Zoe Loschin yeah I might think of some screen parts of the ride but I hope they didn’t too otherwise it’ll end up like some Universal Studio rides (I think in my opinion)

@2freeIvX but those are all mostly screens. It would be better to have classic animatronics. it would be a shame if they were all screens :(

Zoe Loschin yeah I agree I really want to see a big animatronic of Louis

@@passthebutter6037 or maybe a Tiana animatronic kind of like the belle one from Tokyo

Zoe Loschin I don’t think they are having screens I think they are gonna have attractions

swarlock omg i love this

I love princess and the frog and all, but I really love splash mountain too.

Tiana's Place could replace Peco's Bill Cafe and become a sit down at Disney World

Would be great if it was part of the ride like blue bayou in pirates

Tamsie Lamoreaux omg yes that would be everything

yesssssss

Ikr

Yaaaassss!!!!!!

Yes

And when you leave the ride there is a beignets cart 😋

IKR lol

Taylor McLeod Igh where do you want me to bite 🙂

Taylor McLeod “erase history” lmao it’s a disney ride.

Evelynn Frawley They didn’t have to change anything. Not a single black person or BLM representative was asking for disney world to change the ride.

@@taylormcleod499 I was thinking the same thing. But then I thought some ore. The entire ride was a marketing ploy that blew up in Disney's favor. It was never meant to be something nostalgic or big, it was just there to attract teens and promote the new movie "splash", with tom hanks. It has no big correlation to Song of the South, and view that as you may, it means that it also has no historic ties. However, the ride breaks down constantly, almost everyday. Just yesterday, a boat sank. Also, the animatronics and just the ride in general is outdated. Riding through the lense of nostalgia isn't the same as riding through the lense of a newcomer. There always has to be something fresh and invigorating to attract new guests. Rides will come and go, but memories stay forever.

Speaking of that part mind mashing that with nemos intation I feel like that would fit too well would someone do that please it would be perfect if someone could do that make it the whole sence though

Is it true that it's gonna take place after the events of the princess of the frog movie?

YESSSS I love "Friends On The Other Side"!! It'll totally 100% fit the drop

yesss Ikr!! also omg I watch ur vids and im subbed to u! haha!

So does the end I think, just imagine everyone on the boat singing

And the "yessss"

Yep! I got chills! lol it’s meant to be there

I loved being nervous before the drop on splash and hope they keep the same energy

@@jimjohnson1515 They aren't it's just going to happen during another positive moment in the plot, the drop will have no context

What do you mean "is no one going to talk about" that's literally all people talk about when it comes to this refurb... Also I must add that they confirmed that the ride is a new story that takes place after the movie and that the song wont be playing for that part.

They should tear down (edit: or re-theme) the Hungry Bear Restaurant and turn it into Tiana’s Place restaurant

Lol

kirbyisbby @disney!!!! Lol this is frfr such a. Great idea!! They better do it😂🖤 my dreams would be complete.

kirbyisbby Me too

V. Michelle ok here me out tianas palace but with some food from the cafe / diner she worked at

Wdym?

Anonymous splash mountain is getting re-themed into princess and the frog

Aged well in the past month, you mean?

Matsuda You Idiot Productions yes indeed

Bailey33Girl ya but this was made after the idea was out

I know, but I’ve always wanted to ride splash mountain and now I’ll never be able to.

A Slater As of this morning, it’s OFFICIAL. It’s happening!

@KTMD the ride would be kind of boring if they didnt include voodoo or the main villan. In order for this ride to work it needs to have an intresting story not just oh the main chacters are getting ready for Mardi gras.

I think it will be great especially with all the new technology and ways of making the dark ride parts better, just look at na’vi river journey!! It sounds like a really fun theme and I’ve never been to the american parks but i’ve heard that it is quite close to new orleans square so they might make a new bayou part of that area including the ride! I’m only a bit upset because I might never get to ride the original.. but there are plenty of ride throughs on youtube and hear me out, I think this princess and the frog ride is going to be like guardians of the galaxy mission breakout: everyone hates the idea at first because it was such a beloved attraction but when it opened everyone was shocked and ended up loving it! Obviously many will miss the original but I think Tiana deserves an attraction all to herself, especially as the music and the film was amazing!!! I can just imagine how good its going to be, they can make misty bayous with amazing music ughhh i can’t wait!!

lauraknots, yeah, this sums up my feelings perfectly. What I’m worried about is that they’re probably going to close down critter country, and I’m worried about the Winnie the Pooh ride. They better move it to fantasy land or something, or I’m going to pop!

omg u love that so ggg

oh yeah!!!

I think that will be playing while you wait for the ride so that way there can be like a ton of references to her dream.

Angie_luvs Marvel well that would be a good idea but the ride is going to be AFTER the movie if that makes sense. The ride is going to be based about her getting ready for Mardi Gra

100th like 😂🙂

that is so cool !!

Yes!

Also this part of the video literally fits perfectly. If Disney doesn’t do this imma be mad 😂

That would be ready!

Are you Ready!!!! *drops in fear*

As a kid after seeing the movie I was just stalking Disney online to seeing when the sequel would come out, it’s been 10 years and Tangled got a series and a sequel as to when they got married what did Tiana get? Just some pets for the whisker haven show and an appearance on Sofia the First and 3 minutes in Ralph Breaks the Internet. I thought the movie was a bombshell I didn’t actually know it was the worst sold Disney princess movie ever... like her and Merida need some more credit it ain’t their faults they both came out at the worst time!

Oh and forgot the video games... oh good old video games... wait OMG TIANA GOT MORE STUFF THAN MERIDA BUT BRAVE MADE MORE THEN HER MOVIE?!?! OH THIS IS HYSTERICAL!

i was born in 2010 rlly so im 9 and the movie

Ikr or 2009

@@edwardo6834 WHAT DID U SAY TO ME

wait what ride did they spam screens with ?

Jeremy Mittwer Well, there are a lot of recent Universal rides that have screens as the only experience. Of course there are the theater-type rides like Minons and Jimmy Fallon that is, but there is also the Fast and Furious ride, which is literally mobbed with screens. The actual ride takes, like, 5 minutes of you in a bus with you mostly staring at screens with very few times the bus actually moves, not to mention the acting on the screens are very cheesy, horrible, and rushed. The Kong ride is also very screen-spammed too, though that one is better. It'd be my absolute worst nightmare if the upcoming TPAF ride was filled with screens just like Fast and Furious, as it is not only one of my favorite Disney movies but also Splash Mountain is a very classic ride that made a few songs very popular, so they better make it worthwhile for me. I'd love for them to use creative special effects, and beautiful animated animatronics, like the ones from the Belle ride in Tokyo! Tho I am convinced they will use screens at least for a few backgrounds like on the Frozen ride over at Epcot.

Jacob Curiel no they wont omfg

Jacob Curiel Can you give me proof please? Don't be so over confident of it...

@@jeremymittwer6028 The new spiderman ride at DCA is spammed with screens.

@@timothythesparklymango5807 omg that's PERFECTT

TimothyTheSparklyMango REALLY OMGGG YESSS

I'll be jammin' to that when the drop hits

It's perfect! Even though I've been on the ride a billion times, that song would still make me so excited for the drop

"ARE YOU READY?!" "NO! I'M NOT READY AT ALL!"

With the story, in the ride, taking place after the story in the movie, perhaps they'll get an original song.

They're missing some music from the movie.

Dan Neitzel they changed it so she’s not a frog the entire ride

Shaggy Rogers bit it would be cool if they were frogs and then after the drop you see Tiana and Navin kiss like in the movie were they turn into humans

I think that they are going to have songs from the soundtrack on the ride

I feel like the riverboat will be the restaurant.

Bratten Hugo almost everything at Disney is for kids so that’s unlikely

@@legallyfinn3816 then again, snow whites scary adventures exist so ye

Sanchezzyy 55 but that wasn’t MEANT to be scary

@@legallyfinn3816 but it’s literally in its name. Snow whites scary adventures lol

Sanchezzyy 55 but it wasn’t SUPER scary, it was just that one part with the witch turning

Cap'n Bubbles I’m still pissed off that they removed Snow White’s Scary Adventures

Bratten Hugo Same... That ride was so well done....

Yessss

Bratten Hugo Whoah, when did they do that?! 0.o

Snoe Leppard May 31st 2012

Why wouldn't it?

They confirmed the music will be in it, yes.

no i hope it won't

@@katiepointer stop being a bitter betty 💀💀

@@katiepointer oh

They are theming the ride to tianas first mardi gras so we will actually get to see human tianas

Yee but prob Nadeen and Lawrence

I thought the exact same thing!!!

YES OMG EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

AHH thats perfect

no it will suck

Disney: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSS

Yes that would be epic!

IKR it’s too perfect

hell no

Right I think the princess and the frog ride has so much potential to be really cool

I feel the same way. I’m definitely gonna miss listening to Zip iddy do dah at the end of the ride. But I can’t wait to ride this new version! I’m really glad that when I have kids someday, that they will grow up with princess and the frog as a ride. Something that they will hopefully look up to. I’ve always hoped for a princess and the frog ride. I live on the east coast so I primarily go to WDW and I don’t know if there is a princess and the frog ride anywhere else. But that was something that I always thought that Disney world missed out on. So I’m glad that it’s finally coming to WDW. But I’m gonna miss splash mountain. Although I am a little curious as to what they are going to be naming the new (kind of) attraction. Will it stay splash mountain? Or will it be renamed to something else? Something that has to do with Princess Tiana?

omg i wish there was more people with the same outlook as you, like everyone's sad to see splash mountain go but how could you not be excited for a new ride

Splash celebrates African American folk lore.

Cec mass and princess tiana would be even better at that

@@RyanM95 wut

Clarissa Michelsen That is genius!

It’ll probrably be the voodoo guy and all the shadows

That would be good but I also have an idea where Facilier and the shadows are singing "Are you ready" while the shadows are following you up the hill. At the end near the drop they would sing "I hope you got what you wanted, but you lost what you had!" while Facilier would be laughing while you rode down the hill. This is just my idea lol.

@@totallynotmicah8995 i like that too!

Finally someone who doesn’t defend Song of the South. Thank you so much for being positive about this change. 🙌

Same

I’m not mad about the change, it’s just that it’s gonna be kinda hard seeing a whole new thing that’s different from what I’ve seen and remembered for a while.

@@n.cookie1 Same. I'm also gonna miss Zip-a-dee-doo-da

Matt From Wii Sports and missing things that are nostalgic is not bad, it’s just when people care more about nostalgia than progress that thing become bad

They probably would not because they want to forget the past.

Sean Keyblade Master They’ve has references to past rides in almost every single ride that replaced it- Ex: The Great Movie Ride- A poster saying the great moving ride in Mickey and Minnie. I’m sure they will cause this is a fan favorite

@@disneydude404 but do you think Disney if so gonna fuck with black people rn but I do think Disney might keep the bottom because when princess Tiana got married they did go on a stream boat like three one they already had

maybe they will keep the frogs hidden somewhere

Maybe they will have a nod to the original

Ahahaha

*GETS GUN* *DEMON VOICE* dont u dare say that to a nine year old little girl ever EVER agin

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

the little kids will hate it just like rocket rods but they will like splash mountain

me too

Yeah, this was probably already on the drawing board and the internal discussions were around how much of a priority it was since they were already spending a lot of money on new Avengers Campus and Runaway Railway, not to mention all the attractions at WDW. The cultural awakening probably put everyone on the same page and it got priority and funding.

It was planned for years, they just announced it WAY quicker than they should have. I’m VERY CONCERNED princess and the frog will not get a good quality ride because they’ll rush this

They just announced they were gonna do it :(

Yeah it makes sense they were already thinking of it. I mean it’s an obvious ride to re theme to this film. All the animatronics just need to be re skinned and a few added tbf

exactly, disney has confirmed that they’ve had this plan for about a year now.

the voodoo scene better be before the drop

hiimawesome6 ikr this is the best Disney music 🎶😆

I think that would be too big of a refurbishment. They would have to completely demolish Hungry Bear since it looks nothing like Tiana’s Place. But I do agree that Tiana’s Place needs to be a thing!

I thought the same thing! I’d love a casual Cajun or creole restaurant and they could have a jazz band playing inside like in the movie

Ralph Brennan's ( JAZZ kitchen) and the Royal Street Veranda have been there for years! They serve gumbo and beignets, etc. Why on earth would they need four places serving the same food? That would be the epitome of overkill. It amuses me how many people seem to think that this movie invented beignets (and gumbo) when Café du Monde has been serving them since 1862! I am from Louisiana.

Tess d'Urberville 100% agree.

Philip Kippel yes, deal with it racist.

Splash Mountain was not at all racist because there weren’t any people in the ride at all in the first place. I hope they keep the rides name similar or throw in a secret B’rer Rabbit in the ride.

It’s more the fact that it was tied into sots but imo this is a better theme don’t @ me

S A M E

The story told on splash mountain is an allegory for why blacks should've stayed on their plantations after they were freed.

Well uhm.... Disney doesnt care:) they've decided. Plus they wouldnt have removed it if it doesnt offend anyone. So there you have it, its changing get over it. They dont care who doesnt like the idea. Plus, better music.... Dont @ me.... 😬

no but seriously, someone email this to disney

onions it was announced yesterday that theyre retheming the ride to princess and the frog!

Jesus 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wonder if he can disable that

Christianaisbaecon what am I suppose to be looking at on 1:20 I don’t get it.

I laughed a bit tbh

@@momvaz6613 The actual lyrics are "make it" not the n word, its just subtitles that can't put correct words lol

🤦‍♂️

Hopefully it’ll come with the New Orleans Square expansion. I wanna try Tiana’s beignets 🥺

catdisc same UwU

Alexandra Brown yes :3

They need to retheme SPLASH MOUNTAIN to a ZOOTOPIA log FLUME ride 🐰🦊🏙️🌃🗻 princess and the frog does not fit in critter country

@Random Human The stories were stolen by a white journalist from tales slaves told him, tales these slaves used to get them through the hard times of slavery. He then profited off the stories with his popular book of them and never credited the slaves who told them to him. Disney then based the film and characters off that book and the film and ride itself are still profiting on these tales by white men who have no business profiting off them.

FeverishGlobe43 the ride is racist then...💀

FeverishGlobe43 u contradicted yourself

@@bridgetmistryable now this I could get behind. I am going to miss seeing critters on this ride!

Nice!

Justinaijah Foots I like that idea. Pay respects to Ray

Right

#submechanophobia

it can easily be changed into something else. his friends on the other side?

They could build a building on all of the ride

Another issue is that it doesn’t fit with Frontierland. But neither does Song of the South.

@@ecoRfan that's what I was saying splash mountain never fitted in frontier land they only put it in fronteir land cause magic kingdom didn't have a critter country

I agree. If they incorporate that into the drop then it can work. I still love song of the south and feel it's being treated harshly through a lens that is not accurate. I will miss the song of the south theme to splash mountain.

They should never change this ride this is a ride for kings if they want to make a princess ride go do it somewhere else

kingviper186 It’s for children.

@@itsRabbitSeasonYo It's most definitely not being treated unfairly. That film has been controversial since it even released. Many critics said it was problematic even then. I'm honestly surprised they even kept the ride this long.

@@kingviper1867 srry brer bear sold the mountian to tiana after he was mad chase he couldn't knock brer rabbits heaf

What? They made the concept last year and its been in the works and mentions for year... lol

It’s Just Getting A Paint Job To Look Like Princess And The Frog Stuff

@Random Human wow guess you like being racist like the ride was

I don’t believe so.

it’s not leaving, just getting a remodel!

@Culinary Masterminds the ride wasn't racist you stale walnut

That was big mistake

Retheming will happen more at DCA, we're landlocked. DCA 1.0 was a joke, so Cal locals need new ENTERTAINMENT, best way to keep things fresh for a low cost, and still pull 'em in.

Thats totally different since California screamin never had a story it was a roller coaster on boardwalk. Splash mountain the rid fits everything from song of the south to change it to something else wouldn't make any sense which means they'd have to change the entire ride.

@@briancalifornia1 and they did it to Malestorm...they completely changed it to Frozen...and it works

Nicholas Druce That was a poorly planned slapping of statues on a ride. This would be different.

no

Splash Mountain definitely stood out the most in Frontierland lol

I have never went to splash mountain since I was scared for fact I was gonna go this year but nope since splash mountain is closed which sucks

Yep

Philip Kippel hopefully!

Enigma McC YES

They need to retheme SPLASH MOUNTAIN to a ZOOTOPIA log FLUME ride 🐰🦊🏙️🌃🗻 princess and the frog does not fit in critter country

Liam's Animation world hmmm I don’t know. Zootopia takes place in a big city for the most part, I don’t think it would be a good fit.

@@bridgetmistryable they deserve their own land at animal kingdom

This isn’t a “classic” though....the ride is from the 90s

Brett Abaurrea whatever man

@@BrettAbaurrea actually it opened in 89. And it is a classic. Do some research.

Taylor Johnson they have no choice with the killing of floyed people started a petition to redo the ride we’ll keep the ride but cut all mentions of song of the south

@@danielsworldofcraftinterna837 they have no choice? I'll bet you money they dont change the ride. Wow someone started a petition. The ride itself isnt racist. The reason the movie was banned is Uncle Remus. Hes not anywhere in the ride. This ride, the rabbit, the bear, the fox. This is a staple of my childhood. I'd actually be offended if they changed it.

I used to have a crush on facilier

Agree. I’m a minority and this cancel culture’s getting ridiculous.

@@ajv7575 But are you black?

@@ajv7575 I'd say do what they will with the figures of Brer Rabbitt, Brer Bear and Brer Fox, but keep the rest asthey can be rethemed as they had before. Or be kept elsewhere as museum pieces. They were spared smelting once, I hope they dodge that fate again.

MarkLovesParks would you be willing to go so far to say that before this had any public attention this year, that you honestly rode this ride and felt like you were being racially oppressed while riding it?

AJ V I agree with you. Out of the 50 years that this has been up and running as the way we know it, some are having a problem with it now?…Idk about you, but this whole Splash Mountain being racist talk is rather…Convenient…Especially with all that has been going on this year.

Yay

Boo

I Just hope they keep the name Splash mountain!

Right

Thank you. I know it’s based on a racist movie but the ride isn’t racist and is very enjoyable

@@howtolife6783 Not only that but, the ride really isn’t even based off the movie. It’s based off a completely different story that just happened to be shown in the movie. People are totally over reacting and not even doing research!

@@85214x a story...thats in the movie.....so based off the movie. Yall find excuses

@@xniaxm2967 Not that people who promote cancel culture are any less guilty of making excuses.

But if they used it anyway as a recounting of the movie they could use it

I just like that they brought Tony Baxter in to redo it. I think it'd be heresy without his input.

YES I TOTALLY AGREE splash mountain is definitely a classic but come on princess and the frog deserves this ride sm it will be sad to see splash mountain gone but they are changing it to something that can totally be better
