It's time, but I do hope I can get one more ride in before they close it.

Awesome. Let's do it.

 

[Tonyz]

Not sure how I feel about this.

Yeah currently no closing date.

This is garbage. Absolute garbage.

I am so depressed right now.

Tony Baxter is working on it.

It's a theme park ride...

So exciting! Concept art looks beautiful; I wonder if they keep the name or change it?

The concept artwork is so pretty!

I really hope they can find a place for zip-a-dee-doo-da somewhere. It's such a great song, even if it came from a movie that was a product of it's time.

my absolute favorite ride

sad to see this.

anyone actually believe they've been "working on this for over a year"

This is my favorite ride, so I'm not cool with this. But I'm not gonna get upset until it's more official than this.

This isn't a great move in my opinion. It can work in DL because of adacency to New Orleans Sqquare, but how does The Princess and The Frog fit into Fronteirland? It doesn't. I prefer my idea to reclaim the characters from Spash Mountain with an updated cartoon based on the old folktales that could modernize the story without losing the heart of it. This is not being done for the right reasons and is a bow to the pressure of a select few. I am all for giving Tiana a ride - I enjoy that movie - but she should have something original. They're basically doing it because there is already a riverboat in it. I don't even know what to think about this one.

A lot will gloss over the fact this was in the works well before the petition started spreading like wildfire. You can't plan a re-do of this scale in a few weeks in the midst of one of the worst financial situations ever for the company.

Splash is one of our favorites. Hopefully its not closed yet in August when we go. I'm hopeful the re-theme will be awesome.
