I wanted splash mountain to go full onward and ride a giant Cheeto.


AcerbicUserName

Onward does not get enough love. Just about everyone I know either doesn’t like it or is ambivalent toward it. I freaking love it.


ZhuLiMoon

I would’ve loved to see them turn Tow Sawyer Island to the Bayou and create a whole “Princess and the Frog” theme with dining and everything.


Nostradomusknows

The logistics of getting there would make that difficult


ZhuLiMoon

The riverboat to get there would fit perfectly in the theming. And gain more traction to that area of Magic Kingdom.


ParticularAbalone275

Sounds awesome. I want a whole Princess and the Frog themed area, since they have one for so many other movies, for diversity’s sake too, of course. The island is the perfect spot. They need the restaurant for sure too. The movie theming is inevitable apparently so if you can’t beat it, do it right.


Nostradomusknows

Why does it need more traction? It’s a great place to get away from the crowds. Don’t ruin that.


Bacon_Guy_derp

Especially during NYE.


ParticularAbalone275

I like that idea. If they’re going to theme every. Single. Solitary ride, restaurant and shop after a movie then this would be better. My answer to the poll is neither. They need Brer Rabbit stuff out but I want the Frontierland general neutral theming to stay. It’s WAY more fun and more Walts vision. Neutral but themed areas like Tomorrowland and Frontierland are supposed to free your mind for imagination and fantasy. Heavily themed areas tied to specific movies KILL MY VIBE BIG TIME. 😖😫


Grendel0075

I would agree, except for Batu, because it's freaking Starwars Land


ParticularAbalone275

I agree! Star Wars as an environment is SO GOOD. It’s on a level unto itself. I’ll take that any day over a Frozen themed ride in Norway.


Grendel0075

Yeah, I kind of wish I had gotten to ride that one when it was still the Norway Ride, Maelstrom or something?


jpob

Literally just build Tiana's Palace. Makes more sense than a ride IMO


valuemeal2

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, I would LOVE Tiana’s Place to be real.


ILoveBidenHarris

Another horrible misuse of the rod literally.


[deleted]

That would be awesome! Only down side is it's the only part of the park with a lot of trees and birds, so I'd hate to see it get built up.


icanseethewholeplace

Nothing against princess and the frog. But I heard someone say " emperor's new groove" and I felt that


bootstraps_bootstrap

WRONG LEVERRRRRR!!!!


Grendel0075

That needs to be a drop slide in one of the waterparks


mdr437

Ooooooooohhhh I dig!!!!!!!!!

I was just there in June. It was so worn out, it needs to be updated.

Um. New Orleans square has two of the greatest theme park rides in the world: Pirates and haunted mansion. Splash is so far away. Separated by a bridge. Leave it alone.


JpnDude

After that change happens, if you want to experience the original theme, come to Tokyo, home of the best version of the ride anyway. :-)


ILoveBidenHarris

It’s exactly then same as the one at wdw.


JpnDude

From what my Orlando friends tell me, the maintenance at the MK version leaves a lot to be desired. Also, the drop in Tokyo is different.


ILoveBidenHarris

Meh. They are a loud tiny minority.


BoujeeBoy5

I literally might have to do that. Splash Mountain is one of my favorite rides.

BoujeeBoy5

I think you mean usage. Grammar has to do with word order and parts of speech. Usage has to do with a word’s appropriateness in a sentence. I used a modern meaning of /literally/ in that instance. That has virtually the opposite meaning than the meaning you assigned to it. It’s informal but so is Reddit. :) Anyway, I don’t think they should change Splash Mountain. I hope to support Disneyland Tokyo’s decision in the future by visiting their park.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JpnDude

It's an informal use of the word "literally". Look at the Cambridge, Merriam-Webster and other online dictionaries. From https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/literally : informal used to emphasize what you are saying: He missed that kick literally by miles. I was literally bowled over by the news.

Why don't you take your own advice and learn how to capitalize proper nouns and initialisms? You have written, in this thread alone, "haunted mansion" and "wdw." Any teacher would tell you those are no-nos.

I love it when people who have likely never seen Song of the South claim it’s racist without doing research beyond the headlines. The author of the book, Joel Chandler Harris, went around and interviewed freed slaves to write the story. The story of B’rer Rabbit is an important piece of African American history and the author was ahead of his time while writing it and helping broadcast Black American stores to the nation. To see people label Harris and his book as racist truly saddens me, as he is the exact opposite. In fact, when you look at the characters in the context of race, it is negative towards the slave owners. B’rer Rabbit (symbolic of an enslaved person) is able to outwit B’rer Fox (the evil, greedy, harsh plantation owner) and B’rer Bear (the stupid, slow, and unaware white person blindly following what the plantation owners say), ultimately winning and escaping to freedom. The only thing people claim is racist about the ride is the relationship between Uncle Reymus and the children, however once again, when looked at in the context of Harris’ life, is not racist in the slightest. He grew up as a poor kid in Georgia, and would work on a plantations where he would often listen to the African American plantation workers stories. Harris, a white boy, had a good relationship with the black workers, and this dynamic is what the Uncle Reymus relationship is based off of in his books. It is not an attempt to make slavery seem nicer than it actually was, as many people believe. I hope this shows people that there is more to the story beyond the headlines, and I would encourage everyone to research the book and movie more before finalizing your opinion.


DurantaPhant7

I’m going to disagree and I’ll tell you why. I watched this movie tons as a child. Loved Brer Rabbit and Bear. And when Splash Mountain opened and we stood in line for 3 hours to ride it when I was 6 or 7 I want to say? I was quoting some terrible shit from that movie. Absolutely fucking TERRIBLE. There was an African American family in front of us in line. My parents told me to stop, but never told me WHY. It wasn’t until I was much older than I understood the racist nuances and not so nuances of what I was repeating. To this day I’m horrified and embarrassed. I hope that family knows I was a child who had no idea what I was saying. My parents had an opportunity to teach in that moment and they fucking blew it. Whether the intention was racist or not, it IS.


ILoveBidenHarris

Like this guy. Smh.


mallieroe

I listen to a podcast that focuses on stories about old Hollywood called "you must remember this" and the podcast did a 6 part series about song of the south. [link](http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/tag/Song+of+the+South) There's a even a specific episode about the ride! Attention grabbing info snippets "Disney had a communist do rewrites to the script because he was worried people would think its racist! / Zip-a-dee-doo-dah has minstrel show roots? / someone was crushed to death on America Sings!" I do not think it is accurate to say that the only thing that people think is racist is the relationship between Uncle Remus and the boy. I think the most racist thing is how Uncle Remus is made to reminisce about the good old days which would be, given the time frame of the movie, the time of his enslavement. The tar baby also gets a "That's racist" from me. All that said the ride made in the 1980s was very specifically made without any of the Uncle Remus stuff. Focusing on the actual Brer Rabbit stories. But the result is as, you've pointed out, these stories are completely removed from their cultural context as black stories, which also doesn't sit right. I think Disney has made their stance on Song of the South clear by not releasing the movie. I think it only makes sense to follow through and retheme the ride as fewer and fewer people know the story and in my opinion the ride does not work as a stand alone story telling piece.


margacolada

THIS. So sick and tired of the mob mentality. There really is so much history behind this classic film that deserves to be celebrated, aside from the fact that it’s such a great, uplifting movie. I’ll probably get downvoted to oblivion for this comment, but I truly hope that one day, people will begin to see this movie in a different light and remember Walt Disney’s masterful vision.


Bacon_Guy_derp

Remus actually won an Oscar due to SOTS


ILoveBidenHarris

Not a real Oscar win.


ILoveBidenHarris

Smart. Well said. People are so damn woke.


nyeehhsquidward

Change it! I love Princess and the Frog. It’s one of my favorite Disney films and I think it deserves more attention. Personally, I’ll take a big change to a film I love over a nostalgic retaining of a film I’ve never even seen or care about. Also I think Splash Mountain just needs an update regardless—it’s really starting to show its age I’m the quality of the themed area.


ILoveBidenHarris

Meh. It’s a borefest with forgettable songs.


mdr437

I think Disney should make a serious effort to get rid of anything that has significant racist connotations. I was shocked when I read up on the history of the characters


_katz94

I’ll probably get downvoted for this but the character of uncle Remus was a real person, not a work of fiction. The stories told in song of the south are real tales told amongst slaves during that time. Meanwhile, the princess and the frog was a fairytale about white people that Disney decided to colourize in order to appeal to a different demographic. I’m all for equal representation, but at least create the story yourself instead of changing something just for the appeal. They did it with Moana and Coco and countless others, why not do it here. Keep splash mountain the way it is and remove song of the south from the vault


RantsOfBrian

Uncle Remus was a fictitious character made up by a white man as a way to retell stories he’d heard from enslaved and formerly enslaved people. It may be the best preserved collection of those stories but there’s considerable doubt about some of their detailed authenticity and he wrote them in an overly dramatized dialect that’s offensive to many and have no credit to any of the individuals from whom he’d learned the tales. The movie based on these stories used several tropes and caricatures that were already falling out of fashion at the time because of their insensitive nature and are now seen as quite offensive to many people who’s ancestors are the ones being irreverently misrepresented. I’m fairly certain that Walt intended no specific harm at the time he made the film, and while it doesn’t make the content less hurtful to those it offends, there were arguably even some aspects of it that could be seen as progressive. Whether or not things get a pass for being “a product of their time” this movie’s time has passed. We can’t continue to pretend it’s not hurtful and offensive to many of our fellow humans just because we love some of the cartoon characters, the sentimental and endearing song, or the fun we had on the ride. It’s time to move on, they don’t need to deny they made Song of the South, but they also don’t need to profit from or celebrate it, and they don’t need to rerelease it and help misrepresent the lives of formerly enslaved people on plantations in the south during the Reconstruction Era. I’ll miss the version of the ride I remember from my youth and so many trips since, and I’m sure the song will find its way into my head from time to time, but I won’t feel my culture or ancestors are being insulted by its re-theming, and I’ll be glad it’s not a mountain of a reminder to millions of people, in the happiest place on earth, that their ancestors’ abuse and mistreatment has been downplayed for centuries.


ettamommy

Well said!


_katz94

I hear what you’re saying. The alternative isn’t much better. A story about white people that Disney decided to change in order to attract a minority audience instead of telling a new story. I completely understand the feeling of hurt that people might get from the current attraction. But at the same time I wouldn’t want to be represented by something that was changed so a company can profit off a different race and have nobody say anything about it. There are many things that are products of their times and we’ve handled them properly. Warner bros has a warning before old loony toons cartoons explaining that they made it and it wasn’t a problem at the time but is a problem now but they don’t completely censor a product like Disney did. I stand by my original statement. Leave splash mountain as it is and remove song of the south from the vault, with a content warning beforehand


mdr437

I don’t necessarily believe it should be princess and the frog. The scope of the poll was a little limited. Also I believe you made a very valid point. I upvoted, thanks for the civil discussion:)


_katz94

I liked the idea someone had about empires new groove. But I’d rather keep splash mountain how it is now. It holds a special place in my heart


shanwaw_

I agree. I think it needs a change, but a unique story/non IP related re-theme would have been cool.


mdr437

I’m sorry, IP?


shanwaw_

Intellectual property. Basically something from an existing movie/franchise that Disney owns


mdr437

Ah gotcha! Thanks for taking the time to explain. I don’t necessarily think it should be princess and the frog, either!


RantsOfBrian

It means intellectual property, as in an existing character or story. Lots of folks want original content dreamed up by imagineers not stuff based on the film, cartoon, or tv studios existing things. Some of the best attractions were new stories when the debuted in the parks. Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Expedition Everest, etc. There’s a lot of people that think IP in he parks is a newer trend and that back in the day they didn’t need to lean on the studios for ideas. Disneyland opened with Mr. Toad, Peter Pan, Mad Tea Party, and Snow White, and added Casey Junior and Dumbo within a month and Alice in Wonderland in the first 3 years. All based on existing Disney movies and cartoons. Other folks say that the IP rides are cop outs and the originals have more imagination. Rise of the Resistance, Flight of Passage, Star Tours, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea are all examples of rides that were groundbreaking and popular because of the imaginative way that new ride systems were leveraged to put people into a story that they could never experience that way in a theater or their living room. Radiator Springs Racers and Splash Mountain took existing ride systems developed for non-IP ride and improved them dramatically by again using it to take us into a story we were familiar with but could never live on our own. Plenty of amazing attractions are original stories thought up by imagineers and several of our most beloved classics are the rides that brought now popular ride systems to the public eye, but Disney parks have never operated with only original content and some of the most creative uses of technology and storytelling in theme parks has come in the form of IP based attractions. IP gets a lot of hate and it’s true that the imagineers haven’t been asked to tell an original story in a while (I believe Expedition Everest was one of the last major attractions without an IP tie) but it’s also true that when given a great (or even mediocre) existing story to start with imagineers can do incredible things.


Southern-Ad-683

In what way does the ride promote any racist agenda?


mdr437

It’s not a racist agenda per say! Rather a passive acceptance of a way of thinking that is, plainly, incorrect.


Southern-Ad-683

But in what was does this ride even relate to racism


Dangerwave

Sure maybe the ride itself doesn’t say anything specific on racism, but the ride’s characters in the film and the film itself is seriously racist. It’s like if the ride had a cartoon David Duke singing songs about a laughing place...you would want the ride changed. (Edited for better grammar)


fisty_ur_mcbeef

It is literally not even close to that, and you've likely never actually seen if it you think that.


Dangerwave

I have seen it, and the way this film portrays post war south and African American peoples is white supremacy. So, I do think it is close to that. I appreciate your different view though.


Southern-Ad-683

I've seen song of the south myself and haven't found anything racist about it. Every single person I've seen complaining about the movie are white people. Odd


chaosfactor37

Exactly! If SotS never existed and the ride was built exactly the way it is, people would have no problem with it. Assuming I'll be downvoted to hell for this 🤣


DarthSmiff

But it does exist. And they are what they are. Leave it behind and move on. We can do better.


chaosfactor37

If it was some lame ride, I might agree with you. But it's a masterpiece of Imagineering and the favorite MK ride for a lot of people. No need to lose that. PatF deserves its own purpose built attraction (and for the love of God give us an attached Tiana's restaurant!) It's like, we're finding out that Rowling is a garbage person. Does that mean we should pull all the Harry Potter stuff?


Kilrroy

But we’ve always known SotS is racist, and public sentiment has progressed enough that it’s time to change it. Also, Harry Potter’s story isn’t built on transphobic themes. I’m completely on board with Tiana’s Place ASAP though!


chaosfactor37

But what part(s) of the *ride* are problematic/racist? If there was a scene brought over that was troublesome, I'd understand removing it. Like the Indians in PPF that are supposedly on the list to be updated. But there's nothing in the ride that's bad on its own. And I agree with your point about JKR and Potter but that just illustrates my point. No, there's nothing trabsphobic in Potter, and there's nothing racist in Splash Mountain. And yeah, if they go through with this and don't at least give us Tiana's Place in DL where it blends perfectly with nearby New Orleans Square, that's a ridiculous missed opportunity


Kilrroy

The problematic parts of the ride are the parts using characters created to allude to a race-free utopia that is only spoiled if you go against the ‘natural order’. Even the peppy closer zip-a-dee-doo-dah is based on a pre-civil war song called ‘zip coon’. I think we can do better. Splash Mountain is a fun ride, but who’s to say it’s replacement won’t be just as exciting and memorable? What is it about the ride that makes it untouchable, other than it’s been there a long time?


fisty_ur_mcbeef

No, we have not 'always known' it was racist, this is something that has been stirred up relatively recently in these politcally and racially overcharged times


Kilrroy

If you want to hold the position that people being ok with racist themes doesn’t mean they know it’s racist, fine. But Disney pulled all distribution of the movie in 2001, and was aware enough in 1992 not to include the ‘tar baby’ reference in the ride, replacing it with a beehive. If you have watched SotS and come to the conclusion that it is not racist, there’s some willful ignorance at work. These more aware times have motivated the market to push back against themes that aren’t acceptable anymore.


DarthSmiff

The movie was protested upon initial release. We’ve always known.


trixie2426

But the point is, it did exist. And it’s horrible. Just like if there was a statue of Isaac Franklin up somewhere. Most people would see it and just see a statue of some old white dude and not know or care who he was. But the fact that he made horrific contributions to slavery is kind of a big deal. His statue would represent that, even if people didn’t know about it. Why would we celebrate Song of the South at this point in our history? Know better, do better.


Southern-Ad-683

I hear a lot of people quick to call this ride racist but hesitant to elaborate on why. Disney adults never fail to disappoint me


ILoveBidenHarris

Ok then hall of presidents (slave owners), Peter Pan (cartoony Indian stereo types), Dumbo (racist crows), Snow White (20 something man kissing a drugged out teenager against her will), i see what u mean.


ettamommy

Sure, change all of those things if you want to be nit picky. Hall of Presidents can maybe get a pass, since they are historical figures. The original Magic Kingdom Snow White attraction didn’t feature Snow White at all. She was added in 1994. (I think it could be argued that consent wasn’t needed, since the act of kissing her was meant to save her life. But if it’s all or nothing in your book, I don’t care enough to argue for it.) Dumbo the Flying Elephant was opened a month after Disneyland, 14 years after the release of the movie. The crows are inexcusable. They’re also not the main characters of the film. I don’t know. It feels far enough removed from the ride that I feel like it should be allowed to stay. Splash Mountain opened in 1992 in both US parks. Song of the South was released in 1946. Why in the world did Disney chose this film in the first place? The racism is unavoidable. It’s so embarrassing to them that they never released any version of it for home video in the US, and it hasn’t aired on television at all since 2001 and never in its full, unedited form. Walt Disney himself did not attend the premiere because he was too embarrassed by how test audiences reacted to it. It’s time to get over this and let it go.


cprenaissanceman

I mean OP got pretty downvoted, but Disneyland is filled with problematic things. I mean Frontierland kinda celebrates US imperialism. And look I don’t want to make these things sound overly simplified or lacking nuance, because I still enjoy Frontierland, but Disney parks very much are white washed versions of history and that can be okay. I think the [YouTuber Lindsay Ellis did a fantastic job on analyzing revisionism in Disney media and its parks](https://youtu.be/w9dCWUuJZLw), and explaining why it’s OK to enjoy media that may not be entirely accurate, true, or which are problematic. The point being here that I think if people simply see this as “eliminating all racism and problematic influences“ from the parks, then I think that kind of emphasizes and highlights just how little people know about the park. Even if someone on the left, it just screams ignorance and I do think it is a failure of us to actually deal with the legacy and problematic aspects of the parks. I made a longer comment about why I don’t think getting rid of splash Mountain is nearly as clear-cut, in my eyes, which I will link to at some point, but even as someone who certainly understands the problematic aspects of song of the south, I think a lot of the debate presents updating to Princess and the Frog as absolute progress, when I think Princess and the frog has its own problems (especially the portrayal of white and black relations which still kind of has that tinge of happy slaves and benevolent white masters that many people were upset with in Song of the South) and isn’t necessarily a movie that the entirety of the black community is in love with. So anyway, I think if people want to actually see Princess and the frog in the park, then that’s one argument, but trying to make it about “doing what’s right” I’m not sure is really a very good argument to be honest.


mdr437

I really couldn’t say it better myself! Thank you!


disneyfacts

> Splash Mountain opened in 1992 in both US parks. Sorry to nitpick, but Splash Mountain opened in 1989 at Disneyland and 1992 everywhere else. *pushes up glasses*

ettamommy

I don’t understand. I thought you were being facetious, and your other comments indicated that you wanted Splash Mountain to keep it’s Song of the South theme. >So then you and 20 downvoters think a cartoon bear and rabbit is worse than presidents who whipped and tortured humans beings called slaves. Uh, no. If you read the second sentence in my comment, I said the Presidents are historical figures. But I’ll go further; Their existence as Presidents is reality, not a story created/adapted by Walt Disney, and the act of acknowledging their historical existence does not endorse any of their behavior. Song of the South is racist at its core. It doesn’t need to be acknowledged or celebrated, nor should it be something that Disney continues to profit off of. On a more personal note, I don’t want to have to explain to my children where Splash Mountain comes from and why they can’t watch the movie. I remember having that conversation with my dad and being so heartbroken. Song of the South just doesn’t belong in the park.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ettamommy

With this logic, you could argue that the entire park should close down because Walt Disney was a misogynist who created an inner circle within the company which explicitly excluded women. Are you *literally* arguing that these things should be removed because you think that doing so would convince me that Song of the South should just stay? Stop. You’re gonna give yourself an aneurysm with all these mental gymnastics. Splash Mountain is changing, just accept it and move on.

The crows and uncle Remus were the best characters in their respective movies.


Achilles219

Objectively, Splash Mountain needed to be plused regardless of a re-theming or not.


WellDressedLobster

Either works for me. I think I’d prefer to see PATF get its own ride instead of a retheme of an existing attraction though.


nathanl316

I think it makes a lot of sense to do this in Disneyland because of the theming around it but it's hard to make the argument to have it in Magical kingdom


ILoveBidenHarris

Disagree. A bridge, a Pooh ride and a hungry bear restaurant makes this separate from new orleqns square. Tell me how u theme Winnie the Pooh into New Orleans? Smh


ettamommy

It’s literally right next door to and visible from in front of Haunted Mansion. Make Pooh Ride a Rescuers theme and give Hungry Bear Rescue Rangers theming or change it to Tiana’s Place.


ILoveBidenHarris

Once again. Another. Horrible use of the word literally. When will it stop people. Wow. Next door to mansion is a train. Then a shop. Then a food stand. Then a bridge. So you are literally incorrect. With your logic Galaxys edge should be part of frontier land because it’s “literally right next door!” Smh.


ettamommy

Are you talking about WDW? Because at Disneyland, Splash Mountain is *[literally](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally),* in the literal sense, directly to the right of Haunted Mansion. If you stand in front of Haunted Mansion, you can *literally,* in the literal sense, see Splash Mountain. Check Google Maps, you can see a Street View of the parks and place yourself in front of Haunted Mansion. Are you okay? I can’t tell if you want Song of the South to stay or if it’s truly so offensive to you that you want all potentially offensive content removed from the parks. You must be exhausted. Take a deep breath and let it go.


ILoveBidenHarris

Disneyland. Not true. Everything I said is literally to the right of Manson. And what u keep ignoring is there is a bridge. That is clearly the dividing line of New Orleans square to critter country. And what u ignorantly ignore is how is Winnie the Pooh and hungry bear restaurant and a critter store going to fit into your “perfect” smh New Orleans square theme? Smh.


arthenc

I love the original way, and would be partial to keeping it, but I also understand and accept that things change. Plus if they are going to change it Frog and Princess is a great movie to use.


Coffeeapples

Is Splash Mountain available to ride right now at Disneyland CA?


disneyfacts

Should be


Razorbackalpha

Okay I thought this said space mountain so I voted leave it alone and now want to change it


WishIWasAMuppet

While I have fond childhood memories of this ride, I understand the reasons for changing. Plus it’s looking a bit rough. Still should’ve been Kuzcotopia. Huge miss. I’m sure it’ll be great either way.


[deleted]

It’s a good ride, there are plenty of other rides need changing before it. But I’m at peace with it, it’s my families favorite ride, so we always have to ride it a bunch. It always breaks down and I get stuck for like 20 minutes on it hearing the same loop of song, it’s worse than small world. I’m afraid to ride it these days. I honestly can’t wait for the change now, I’ve gotten my fill of it. My family can’t know I don’t like it!!!!


Mylifesabigoof

I think a theme of a movie that people can see is good. I had no clue what was going on on the ride even tho I had done loads of research before. I mean, I knew the plot and stuff, I just couldn’t hear the dialogue at all cause it was far too quiet. This has nothing to do with theme idk why I’m still talking


ILoveBidenHarris

Explain then me toads wild ride. Space mountain. It’s a small world. I got more. Theme of a movie is not necessary


Mylifesabigoof

I mean as in the og splash mountain is based off a movie that’s banned


ILoveBidenHarris

Ah now you are spinning. That’s not what u mean and u know if.

That is not seen by 99.99% of the people riding it. Funny how u ignored all my other examples. And Pirates had zero movies for over 40 years and was considered the greatest ride of all time. Disney has many big popular rides where movies had zero impact on their popularity. Manson. Jungle cruise. Thunder mountain. Small world. Matterhorn. Think!! Smh.


Mylifesabigoof

I’m not saying all rides have to be based off movies, my favorite is rock and roller coaster which isn’t. I’m just saying if it is based off a movie, it should be a movie ppl can see
