FULLY AGREE. They are bnow moving on to Peter Pan Dumbo and the effect fireworks have on the environment. Woke idiots ruin EVERYTHING! And PAF sucks as a movie – but it is politically correct – oh wait – It takes place in the south as well shortly after slavery – but thats ok.
The article is being deceptive. The Tokyo one is not closing AT ALL. They declined the retheme. The ride is too popular to risk losing. If only the American ones would take the hint. Disney own poll shows 5 to 1 opposed to the retheme.
There are rumors that the re theme of Splash Mountain is happening at Walt Disney World in Florida only and the Disneyland version of Splash Mountain in California is staying the way it is because the concept art that we saw a few years earlier matched the Walt Disney World Splash Mountain.
Japan ain’t woke, their pirates ride still has the auction scene and the pirates chasing the women around. They aren’t about that silly nonsense some soft weak Americans scream about
Haha silly nonsense??? You mean like getting all butt hurt and snowflake over a ride at a children’s park. Maybe you should put down some of that Disney adults fetish anger and tune into to real issues. Loser.
Using an ignorant title like “snowflake” just shows the mentality of people like you who go on social media to attack others. You and mindy go back under your woke rocks. We don’t care to hear your he/she/them opinions. Byeee!
I love seeing people cry at the idea of someone going ” on social media to attack others” while outwardly attacking others. Funny how hypocrisy works lol
First of all Jeff I wasn’t talking to you. If you like I being called a snowflake you’re just as mentally deficient as good old James is. I’m just giving him a dose of his own medicine.
Dear soft weak American, aka snowflake. First Disneyland is for everyone, plus I don’t even go to Disney that often to have a “fetish” I prefer universal anyways. Your assumptions make you ignorant and retarded. Please go cry elsewhere loser
That was one of the most fun rides, lots see, relaxing, good tunes & the log flume at the end. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it has never been truer than here.Disappointing that it’s now finished due to political correctness & to appease a few.
We can dam sure try. People like you have ruined everything for the rest of us just to make yourselves feel good it was never to change the world. You’re not changing anything and that’s a fact. You don’t care about stuff like Splash Mountain, you just want to pretend to find something wrong with everything and claim it’s “problematic” when other people don’t see the problem. Where’s the bottom where does it end for people like you until you’ve changed everything to YOUR liking? Won’t happen, there will be pushback against you.
Have you seriously never seen the title of the song written down? You’re that passionate about something you don’t seem to have the barest idea how to spell?
If you’ve seen Song of the South, you know that it’s not a very good movie. The technical innovation of combining animation and live action was an important advance, but it was done 100 times better in Mary Poppins. There are some catchy songs, but given that the most popular one (the one whose title you never bothered to look at or looks up) is based on a song from blackface minstrelsy, there are plenty of other, catchier songs to take its place in the parks.
In a rational world, Song of the South would have died a natural, unmourned death decades ago.
This ride survived for decades with no problems. The problems arose with the woke movement which Disney caved in to. Get your facts straight, your comments hold no validity whatsoever.
IMO there is NOTHING controversial about the ride & most people dont even know the movie that everyone is referring to…..with that said: if Disney really has to tear out their fans hearts by redoing it….they should do it one park at a time. Wait and see how it goes over at Disney World BEFORE movong on to the original in Disneyland. I dont even know of I will go on it after being redone….Splash Mountain was one of my fave rides – looked forward to it everytime I went there….now idk….i just dont know….
Isn’t the re-theme based on EQUITY/CRT/1619 PROJECT??? Trading a Black ride for a Black ride seems redundant to me. Stories from the South are still stories from the south no matter how you slice it. Folklore is Folklore and changing theme does nothing but appease. These stories are amazing, beautiful stories and both need to be told. Open up a seperate ride and leave SPLASH MOUNTAIN alone.
Oh get over it, it’s just a ride, and I bet you’re white so you can’t say it’s not controversial. TOT was re-themed and that ride is going as strong as ever. I go to Disneyland once a month at least so I would know.
Years of controversy?? Only to the minority who screamed, kicked and complained at every moment opportunity to be the loudest and most ridiculous. And yet those same “lib tards” Would have still gotten on the ride at every opportunity YET Disney, like so many other Wimpy ball babies, allowed the minority to have their way which is why in the long run WDW will continue to lose an enormous fan base, among other horrendous decisions made by poor managing decisions have allowed themselves to lose money over the future and an enormous number of fans who have basically said “well, we can spend our money at so many other beautiful places in America that are not so manipulative in how they are ran from a business standpoint”– good luck with the “woke mob” spending money as much as those who WERE loyal to you. Time will tell. Guaranteed these discussions are now in Disney board meetings but i think its too late
You must not go to Disneyland very often. TOT was taken out and GOG themed. That ride is as popular as it ever was and people love it. Given only woke people go to Disney (remember, your kind boycotted it remember? So what do you care?) I doubt Tiana’s will suffer at all. There will always be people that will ride it.
No Guardians is not popular and changing Tower of Terror was a failure. Tower of Terror will becoming back in the near future after Disney gets broken up under antitrust and loses Marvel. No one will miss Marvel in the parks. And no woke people don’t go to Disney, either. Tiana’s will never exist.
“Only to the minority who screamed, kicked and complained at every moment opportunity to be the loudest and most ridiculous”….. you mean like you are doing right now?
The Tokyo version of Splash Mountain will not close. It is remaining Splash Mountain. The Oriental Land Company owns Tokyo Disneyland and has decided not to retheme. American slavery does not resonate in foreign countries in the same way as in the USA.
Oh Walt I am so sure that Disney is just heart broken over you being done with them. All the money you didn’t have to spend there will be missed. Haha get over yourself you silly snowflake. Times change and stop being irrelevant.
Agree just more stuff the cancelation generation doesn’t like really. The whole story of star wars is pretty edgy but they like that so it’s okay .don’t get me wrong cause I also loves the star wars , but slavery to trafficking, smuggling ,good verse evil even an under age boy falling in love with a older princess.
Wow. You guys are seriously ridiculous. You are upset over a ride when there 900 million others that you should be angry about. Its not about being woke either.
Disney was probably afraid Splash Mountain would make them a target, so they had to show they were doing something. Makes sense when you consider they hadn’t announced it at the shareholders meeting with all the future projects from 2020. They couldn’t even get the retheme into the budget until two years after they had made the announcement.
People were protesting Song of the South when it was first released in 1946. You’re allowed to enjoy racist entertainment if that’s your thing, but you should get your facts straight..
IF YOU WANT TO ADD A BLACK PRINCESS I THINK THATS A GREAT IDEA. ITS A DARLING MOVIE. HOWEVER GIVE HER HER OWN RIDE. SPLASH MOUNTAIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE RIDE FOR MOST. ITS SO CHEERFUL AND IF YOU HAVENT NOTICED PEOPLE SING ALONG. IT WAS IN ALL THE KID SING ALONG VIDEOS AND SO MANY PEOPLE KNOW AND LOVE ZIPPIDEE DO DA. JUST A WASTE OF MONEY THAT WE WILL ALL GET STUCK PAYING FOR. DISNEY IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE AVERAGE FAMILY TO AFFORD. STOP WITH WOKE CRAP. AND IF Balenciago story hits Disney plus Im canceling and Im gonna start believing what people say those tunnels really are for.
For those with any real education and who read the “Uncle Remus Tales”, as opposed being brainwashed by the liberal cancel culture”, there is nothing racist about the “Song of the South”.
The primary character is a strong willed, happy, and independent Gentleman of Color living in rural 1890s America. He tells the children of the town his version of Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories”. As is to be expected in the literature of that time the author writes in the vernacular of the period.
No one objects when a white character of the same period also is written writing in the same vernacular. They just put their liberal racism on display by claiming that it demeans “Uncle Remus”. Shame on them.
Want to including Tiana?
Cool?
Put her on the Riverboat w/ her Frog Price.
But stop blackwashing American history to satisfy the true racists.
That new frog ride is a MLB pushed crap. I will never ride it. There was nothing wrong with SPLASH MOUNTAIN. It was a bunch of fun loving animals? Nothing racist. Bunch of cry babies got their way. Disney execs suck!!!! I think Hattie McDaniel and James Baskett would be pissed off at their award winning film was a topic of racists bull.
Comments for Disney’s Splash Mountain to Stay Open For The Foreseeable Future
Chris Kinney
The whole idea of Splash Mountain being controversial is artificially manufactured, and just plain stupid.
Angus
Agreed
M
While we are at if Disney, cancel the Splash Mountain re-theme in Orlando.
Walt
FULLY AGREE. They are bnow moving on to Peter Pan Dumbo and the effect fireworks have on the environment. Woke idiots ruin EVERYTHING! And PAF sucks as a movie – but it is politically correct – oh wait – It takes place in the south as well shortly after slavery – but thats ok.

Trisha
If those rumors are true and Splash Mountain is staying the way it has been all these years then that’s the best news I have heard on a long time!!!
Mindy
Bummer. Splash Mountain has turned into a dilapidated, tired, non-maintained ride. Today’s kids don’t even get the movie reference.
Kris
When it came out most people still didn’t know about SOS.
Mike
Don’t be surprised that some kids have seen the movie. I’m sure parents bought a bootleg copy and they’re very good. I’ve shown my nephew and nieces.
ROGER D STEVENS
it is for those who have money and influence to tell disney pricks what to do.
