    It is a so beyond ridiculous. If you don’t like the ride then don’t go on it. It is a classic tale come to life. These bored ignorant people need to get a life. You will never please everyone.

    Im tired of these scumbags who have nothing better to do than cry about everything they don’t like

    this is why you don’t give these type of people anything or anyway to put there crap into anything at all once you let them do something on anything they never stop trying to destroy everything else cause they will play the it makes feel bad or anything along those lines its a ride you don’t like it go ride something else or just don’t go there where all sick of this junk get out of your safe space bs and grow the heck up

    I agree with the comments here. The sad thing is, the sad thing is, the spineless people at Disney will listen too the one karen over everyone else so they won’t offend the perpetually offended.

    This is a joke right? haha funny It has to be a troll….right?

    if not are you aware that conflict is something that happens in stories? like there has to be some negative thing to happen to overcome right? Otherwise it’s just like watching a bunch of regular people doing everyday things who wants to see that?

    I really think disney should have just remade song of the south maybe have uncle Remus escaping on the underground railroad and to give his nephews hope he tells them about Brer Rabbit escaping Brer Fox and Brer Bear.

    AW, you are right. Walt was long dead by the time both rides were created, my mistake. I still stand by what I said though. The intent of the boys turning into donkeys, actually MULES, was to show how not getting an education leads to being worked like a mule in a dead end job. So stay in school kids. To be honest that scene terrified me as a child but it did it’s job, I was taught how important pursuing my education was. Aside from comedic and borderline offensive depictions of Germanic people, Pinocchio still stands up to current societal standards. The material that splash mountain is based on does not have that luxury, and as I previously argued the ride also makes people curious about the source material giving the movie further attention. As is the argument for Confederate statues, one should not forget, but also not GLORIFY the crimes of the past.

    No. Stop re-themeing all the rides just because someone i “bothered” by an image. When you see an image in print, you choose not to read it. Hear it on the radio? Simply turn the dial. Tv? Turn the channel. If it bothers you don’t go to the park or just skip the ride. But for gods sakes stop screaming to re-theme Disney classics.

    I agree if things offend you then don’t watch the movies or ride the rides. I have Native American, in me but I don’t get offend by western movies. I don’t watch them! I like all the rides at both Disney parks. Leave them alone.

    Changing the theme of the ride in the first place was a stupid idea. Catering to ignorance has gotten out of hand. everybody’s offended by every damn thing. How about this how about you leave splash mountain the way it is. There was nothing offensive about it to begin with. one of the strangest things to me about people who complain about these characters is that these characters were actually created in African American communities. there was nothing offensive about splash mountain to begin with. It should be left alone. No one put the vote out to the people, Disney was afraid of being called racist so they immediately went and changed the ride. It’s all nonsense. I personally loved it the way it was and I’m frustrated that they’re changing it and I won’t be riding it. The movie it’s now being based on was and is NOT considered a Classic. It was a knee-jerk reaction to begin with and now it’s being used again. No one considers it a classic. Hell, the minute the movie was made black people were complaining about it as well. Saying that it was offensive because the princess started out in a position that reminded them of slavery. You can’t win by pandering and catering to people who are constantly offended. Tell the stories you want to tell as artists. Stop censoring yourself and to censor a theme park ride is out of control. Leave things alone. If you don’t want to ride the damn ride, don’t ride it. It’s that simple. Or better yet just stay home because everything in the theme park is going to offend you at one time or another.

    Disneyland was my happy place it was my dream and my childhood ? but y’all BLMers are ruining the Park! I don’t know how many times I can say this GET. A. LIFE!! Why on earth would you ruin fun for generations and generations! Heck I want my kids to go on those amazing rides you whiney babies are ruining our lives just because it’s a fairy tale wth! You guy’s brains are lost if you think Disney is your puppet I will object to any re theming and then crush all the Disney haters that don’t like one ride so they need to suddenly re theme the whole park where’s your humanity people every story has a dark side just a few more words for you all NO BODY CARES ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINTS splash mountain the RIDE has nothing racist about it (although the country bears might be offended)

    This is ridiculous! Here:
    If you run into the street, without holding your mamma’s hand, you get hit and killed by a car…
    I think Pinocchio’s story is simply an action/consequence lesson!
    That’s what it was MEANT to be!
    If you raise your children with only happy pink unicorns and cotton candy, they will not be warned of the dangers of going to the “dark side”… P knew he was going astray with smoking, gambling, going off with that terrible friend. Yes, bad things can happen when you go to the dark side…it’s a very good lesson! Keep the ride as is!

    Sounds like the same person writing the same comment over and over again using different wording.

      Mask are giving people the virus…it is so sad…i feel this is germ war fare from other countries…to take over our country..shamefull!!!!May God Bless ya’ll..????

    Personally I was shocked at the comment that there was someone suprized at the images in the ride! Had they never seen the movie? Never read the book? Never been on the ride ever? It’s these bunch of goons that are wrecking the parks. You have a choice on where to go, which rides to ride, etc. Grow up!

  14. Sheila

    I agree with so many of you. If you don’t like the theme of a ride don’t go on it. I don’t like ToT or GOTG so I just don’t go on it. I don’t want them to get rid of it or complain to people about it. I have choices, like everyone else, and I just choose not to go on those rides.
    PS I also don’t stop people who I’m at the park with to not go on it….I go shopping instead.

    I was born with only one testicle, it offends me and I have nightmares when everyone refers to men as having “balls” because of this, all my failures in life and all of my hardships are because of the trauma I suffer every single day when you ask refer to men having “balls”……….. Pretty ridiculous huh, sounds insane that I would say such a thing….. Your RIGHT!! Sadly, if I wrote to the right source, people would be getting fired from their jobs for referring to men as having balls!! We are living in disgusting times and the media writing our story. When do or did the opinions of the. 00000001% ever matter before, but now we should change the way we live because the. 00000001% feel they should be heard. Just shut the hell up, stay home and keep making your tictok videos believe me, the world is a better place without your concerns.

    Loved the comment that a group will be coming to tear down the Walt Disney statue next!! Haha cracked me up.

    Then don’t go on it you big baby! So ridiculous! Stop pandering to these fools. Not everyone is going to like everything in life. It is not Disney’s job to cater to everyone

    Many years ago – like in the 1970’s – I knew someone who like me was a huge Disneyland fan (he even would build miniatures of the castle). Well, due to his family’s religion he would not go on Haunted Mansion because of the occult aspect. Did he want it changed? Of course not! He knew how much folks enjoyed it and how great of an attraction it was. It was just not for him.

    It is getting so ridiculous that these ninnies who don’t like something want it changed just for them.

    Hey folks, I don’t like Lima beans! Let’s get rid of them!!

    They would laugh at us in other countries for sure!

    If Disney continue to listen to the PC / Woke / Cancel Culture Crowd they may as well get the bulldozers in and raze the theme parks to the ground because if they look hard enough they will find something offensive about everything. Man up Disney executives and get the imagineers to come up with some great new rides / attractions instead of changing our beloved theme park attractions. Leave Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Pinocchio etc alone or you will find that the people who have supported you over the years through park attendance and merchandise purchase might just decide enough is enough. Before anyone asks, yes I have seen the movies and although I live in the UK I have been on 20 Disney holidays at a cost of a few thousand pounds a time and spent thousands on Disney merchandise so I think I have earned the right to be totally fed up (being polite here) at the current goings on within the Disney organisation
