    Leave Splash Mountain alone. There are more than 3 times as many people who have signed the petition to keep it as it is than those who are asking for a retheme. The ride is not racist and is based on African folklore. I wonder how many of these so called offended people have actually been to a Disney park or seen the movie.

    Disney should KEEP Splash Mountain as is. It keeps with theming of Frontier Land, and it is how Walt wanted it. At least just leave it be thru the 50th Anniversary Celebration and decide after that. Hopefully by then our country gets back to it’s senses.

  3. Biggest MISTAKE Ever. Splash Mountain is a fantastic ride
    The Most Horrible and Embarrassing thing is Disney Giving into
    The Most Racist Organization “In the whole United States of Georgia”
    -BLACK LIVES MATTER –

    NO LEAVE SPLASH MOUNTAIN ALONE. Quit Giving into Marxist ways

    Oh please. Rides change themes all the time. And I seriously doubt 5% of the people even knew what was going on in this one.

    The rude should remain the way it is. I am so tired of this “ I’m offended by..” generation. I’m offended by the amount of profanity, sex and violence in today’s movies and in society itself but , Is anything going to change for me and my family “NO”!!
    I am a long time Disney Supporter but this has got to STOP! I use to enjoy taking my family to WDW every year and with all the changes to the parks in the past and now this , I’m about to invest my money elsewhere . If things have worked and been peaceful since 1971, let it remain the same and go on with other park improvements.

    I think one of my favorite YouTubers who does Disney videos all the time put it best when he made a nice little cycle of how these things go.

    1. Disney announces a new ride/land is replacing an older ride/land
    2. Disney fans get upset, “You’re changing the best part of the park!”
    3. New ride/land opens
    4. Disney fans realize that this is way better than the old stuff. Disney was right after all. Again.

    And repeat, so on and so forth, until the end of time.

      I can’t believe I ever made a comment defending Disney. You are absolutely right. Splash mountain is a memory. Walt Invisioned it. I will not stand for this.

    As a white man (dont know why that would make this more important) I here by throw up the Idea of Disney building statues of Uncle Remus – James Baskett through out Splash mountain and adding Remus to the ride itself … like have him standing by the fence as the rabbit runs by. Celebrate the amazing Actor James Baskett and preserving the iconic ride for generations to come. By not doing this Disney is once again doing James Baskett wrong. By simply replacing our beloved ride with the princess and the frog …. THAT IS RACIST !

    I just got back from Disney world yesterday and I was REALLY sad when my mom said it would be the last time I would get to ride splash mountain. I think that riding splash mountain was a great experience and they shouldn’t change it just because its not as relevant to people as it was back then. and I don’t get how anyone got offended by the ride, so many people are snowflakes!

    Toughen up, snowflakes.

      This is what is the problem. People can clown on white people but if anyone makes a single comment on african americans, they are pronounced racist. Splash Mountain should remain, that song Zipa Dee Doo Dah is iconic to disneyland, just hearing it will make you smile, now imagine disneyland with out that, without the stupid chickens singing on a boat at the end, it wouldnt be as good because Splash Mountain adds such variety and playfullness to disneyland.

    You realize Disney is being super hypocritical. If they wanted to do this, why not remove the Native Americans, which were the most offensive thing in the movie this ride was based on, from Peter Pan’s Flight? When they realized that, they clumsily tried to cover it up by removing it from Disney+ kids.

  11. Mason

    It’s a shame to see splash mountain go, but disney knows whats best for their parks. We’re lucky to say we went on the original. It’ll be sad, but think of all the new memories we will make. 🙂

  12. Mason

    Forget my last comment, I agree. Disney has to keep splash mountain. The Whole ride has nothing to do with song of the south and is based simply on Brer Rabbit. This is a disgrace. If they replace it. I may not ever go to Disney again.

  13. Cammen

    This touched me, honestly, i have never had the right words to describe this feeling that ive had watching the world today, but you did it so perfect. I have a feeling that 100 years from now, we will have a white lives matter lol. Its like white people are suddenly the face of evil now, yet making fun of white people isnt racist at all

  14. Lee Jones

    Splash Mountain is the only Disney theme park attraction in which its origins came from African-American folklore. And now Disney Parks wants to erase this because of some misguided effort to look progressive? And what racist stereotypes are inside Splash Mountain? And they want to replace the attraction’s theme with that from “The Princess and the Frog”? One, “The Princess and the Frog” was set in New Orleans and the Louisiana swamp, not near a North or Central Georgia mountain. And two, despite having an African-American leading lady, the movie’s origin came from European literature. What on earth does Disney Parks think its doing?

  15. Can someone please explain the coloration of Brer Rabbit’s fur in the Disney World version. How come in Disneyland’s version(the original classic and the one that is unique) his fur is brown, while in Disney World’s version he is gray. I have not been to Disney World but I have seen ride throughs of that version. Also why is Mr. Bluebird with Brer Rabbit in the Disney World Brer Rabbit finale, while in Disneyland’s version he isn’t. The same thing goes with the Brer Rabbit verse. Disneyland’s version he is just singing, while in Disney World’s version he is talking and singing. If you look at posters of the Disney World version his fur is gray. Is that to avoid any controversy because in any image of Brer Fox holding Brer Rabbit by the ears it looks like he has bits of black in his fur.

    Splash mountain is an og ride which is my favorite along with many other people’s.I want it to stay but more importantly Walt wanted it to stay.

    People who want to change splash mountain are not even Disney fans. No one has ever watched the Princess and the Frog. Im a minority. Splash mountain is full of animals and changing it would actually be racist. We are all the same race, “the human race” and removing these critters from splash mountain is the real racist thing to do.
