The ride was based on Briar Rabbit and all the animals, not the story behind Song of the South. Nothing in the ride was racist. Tiana was just Disney checking their social
agenda boxes.
You clearly have never seen the film or know the history. When the film first debuted the KKK in the southern states tried to harasss movie theaters and movie goers due to them not liking that a black man had a better father figure to the white boy in the film. Actually watch the film instead of actual racists trying desperately to erase the film from existence!
Bravo. I saw it as a small child, I just thought it was story on on Bobby loving Uncle Remus and his stories about Briar Rabbit and his “laughin place” and Uncle Remus loved him. He even asked for Uncle Remus when he was ill and everyone thought he was dying. Yes, it does show slavery on a Southern plantation in the 1880s but i never thought it was the crux of story. Uncle Remus taught Bobby many good/moral life lessons, yes as a better role model and father than his bio parents. But when I visited WDW in 1976 and 1977 Splash Mountain wasnt there yet either. I liked the “Princess and The Frog but I think they should have based the ride literally on the movie snd ended the ride at Tiana’s wedding and reception at her restaurant. I think it would have made more sense and been better liked. And they coukd have created a different catchy song fir Tiana’s finale about being happy snd making dreams come true without duplicating other Fisney iconic songs. Ray & Angeline could have provided the fireworks and Luis abd his plastic can be the wedding & reception band. Lottie her said of honor and Big Daddy the preacher. I think it should gave shown Dr Facier (?) and the butler in prison on the other side too, in some of the dark empty spots in the fide and every1 in Tiana’s world comes out happy. Or b4 the the final drop Mama Odie can thank everyone and say/sing “Dig a Little Deeper” and dance over the arch b4 the final drop. Can you imagine that song being the last song you hear as your log crests and drops the final hill? That is a grwat and iconic song. Just doesnt seem to he used appropriately for such a graat song abd good movie. I think it needs to show Prince Navern and Tiana’s story and transformation during the ride. Not everything from the movie but at the least the main characters used and the storyline that makes sense and co-hesiveness.
It was not racist, it was history. Can’t understand why liberals are so fixated on racism. You don’t erase history just because you don’t like it or it doesn’t fit with the current views of society.
Tianas Bayou Adventure 1927 flood disaster ride was also racist as it took place in the 1920s during the Jim Crow laws, women being treated mans property, segregation and discrimination against African Americans and Native Americans and also black face and stereotype depictions in Felix the cat shorts and the jazz singer 1927 film. It was the alcohol prohibition and mobster men like Al Capone and also silver dollar Sam mobster man of New Orleans and his Cosa Nosa gangsters running gambling and bootleg business. Also 1927 is the Mississippi river flood disaster year. With African American men being treated like slaves and forced to work on the failing levee which the water breached through.
Except it’s not racist and Disney has no right to say what is. Disney is breaking the law by withholding the movie and will be ordered to release it by Washington.
only in your pea brain. In fact Walt filmed song of the south to feature black actors. Your beloved hollywood elite would not even allow an academy award for James Baskett in his role as Uncle Remus. Its so amusing that you libtards imply that you know so much when in fact you know so little. Here’s an idea come out of your echo chamber. The funny thing is that liberals are the most racist, sexist, elitist but project that onto EVERYONE else because they think everyone thinks the same as they do. THANK GOD the non libtard world is not mentally ill.
No it’s not racist at all. Neither you nor Disney have any right to say what’s racist and Splash Mountain is not closed in the US. There is no such thing as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and never will be. I can confirm as someone with a Time Machine like Doc Brown and was there for both WDW’s 75th in 2046 along with Disneyland’s centennial in 2055. Song of the South is being released to Blu Ray and back to theaters by order of Washington.
Rich Johnsoy because its not racist. The problem with democrats is yall have to make everything out as racist. Its your weird habit of doing so. Not everything is racist. Not sure why the brainless democrats like you cant understand that.
There is nothing racist about that movie. Where in the entire movie, does it say anyone of any race is inferior? Infact, the KKK hated that movie, because it portrayed a black man as a lovable guy, who told stories to children. BTW, the democrats are the ones who started the KKK!
They’re already getting it hence why they’re replacing this ride and are making so many other changes and just had recent layoffs. Nobody likes them anymore
Not even close to being the same ride. Clearly you have never gone on the ride because you would know for a fact how very very very different it is and how it went from a right that people went to Magic Kingdom to go on to nobody can give a crap about going on because nobody really likes Tiana’s Woke Mountain. The truth of the matter is is that they had no confidence in Tiana Ride so they had to take out one ride to put it in because they wouldn’t pay the money to make it her own ride’cause they knew nobody would go on it
I’m sorry that people are too stupid to figure out the new trash cans and disgusting enough to wish to continue to eat atop garbage. But Disney is making a mistake by caving to complaints. Most people don’t care, and the ones that do will quickly find something new to complain about and forget about the old trash cans.
It’s not the same ride, the theming is awful, a spray painted facade to a strange mountain with all the same interior cave theming from Splash Mountain that plays Uncle Remus music and jiving? Isn’t that “racist” according to you fools? There’s no continuity, no climax, it’s fucking stupid and everyone knows it.
Its about the friggin’ trash cans stop crying over that man ride and get over it! Most of you havenent even seen Song of the South. They updated the ride The Princess and the Frog did well in theaters and dollar make sense. You diversity haters are worse than babies! If you hate it so much you can feel free to just NOT GO!
No they didn’t. Splash Mountain is not closed and is alive and well. There is no such thing as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Tiana is banned in the parks like Pete Rose was from baseball. The Princess and the Frog flopped big time in theaters to the point that it resulting in the end of hand drawn animation at Disney which thankfully will be coming back exclusively when I take over and usher in the Make Disney Great Again era along with the release of Song of the South if it hasn’t happened already. Splash Mountain will be there for WDW’s 75th and I can confirm. “What would Walt do?” will decide everything again under my leadership at Disney. I don’t like what a company does, then I take it over and make it great again.
I just wish they would have followed the story of princess and the frog. It would have been so awesome having shadowing singing “are you ready ” while going up to the big drop off.
Splash mountain was way better my kids even said it. Who cares about the damn song. Bring back Splash Mountain. Disney Stop pleasing the 0.0000000000000000001%.We canceled our platinum passes and started to go to Busch Gardens and Sea World more often. Way better experience.
The real scam here was that the destroyed good work with average work. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a disappointment because it isn’t as good or creative as Splash Mountain. As a park goer I don’t go to Disney for social commentary, I go for entertainment. If they’re going to meddle with a ride at least make it better, not worse.
I rode splash Mt it’s last year it was open and I rode Tiana in 2025. It’s Disney’s park and their choice to feature whichever characters they liked. No one was really raving for the former till it was taken down. Disney wanted to distance themselves from the film. Cancel culture isn’t real, it’s all capitalism. If one movie is making more money and gets more attention then that movie gets the attraction. So far Disney hasn’t lost a dime for the replacement so I think it was the right choice.
I think they need to completely take out Tiana’s Bayou adventure and put Splash Mountain back. It was a masterpiece and Tiana’s adventure doesn’t even tell the story of princess and the frog, not even in the slightest. Taking Splash Mountain out and putting this monument to mediocrity in is nothing less than theme park malpractice and incompetence. When you go back and look at what Walt Disney did with Song of the South, there was not even a shred of racism in it and people who think they’re what was are really some way sick. Walt Disney actually campaigned to get the Uncle Remus actor, James Bassett, an academy award when black people were not getting academy awards, and he succeeded in getting him an honorary academy award. And he deserved it. He was not only an incredible man of incredible character, really quite saintly, but he was an incredible actor. That movie would have been impossible without him, and he was the reason that the movie was a masterpiece, that in addition to the animation and the incredible storyline. People are just so brainwashed that they see racism and anything and everything. It’s incredibly sad because they’re throwing away their own treasures and they don’t even know it.
I road Tiana’s in ’24. I was not impressed but it did not ruin my life. I loved Splash Mountain but the vaguely “racist” tones of the movie didn’t carry through to the attraction. Disney changed it so the company could garner diversity points. But The Company is disgustingly woke. There will always be a “certain segment if society” that will scream Racism where none exists. And will claim that they are being “disrespected” at every turn. If you want to be respected…do something “respectable.” You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
People you’re all crazy if you don’t like it don’t freaking go maybe this way than Disney would get the hand if nobody goes to their freaking theme parks and spends the freaking money that you work all day damn year for and give it to Disney crazy people are not like crazy
There is no Tiana and Splash Mountain is open. And if I don’t like what a company does then I take it over and make it great again. Disney will be caring after I take over and erase the whole Iger era and bring back the “What would Walt do?” philosophy that ran it after his passing for decades. It will no longer be a publicly traded company either as I will use my controlling interest to take it private and be Owner as if it were a sports team. I will only answer to Walt and the Iger supporters will all walk out. The parks will be reflections of both mine and Walt’s tastes with no regard for ROI and be just my life size train set.
I’ve ridden it once [last year] and it was just okay. Although the actual ride seemed smoother (and longer) the theming was somewhat ambiguous. (There was no rhyme or reason to the context of the ride).
I agree with people saying this should’ve stayed with the movie theme. I thought the movie was good fun and was hoping that the ride would be good too. I don’t like riding it like I used to.
“The curved-top trash cans are nearly impossible to balance a food tray or a wine glass on.” Its not impossible to balance a tray on the curved top. For one the curve isnt like an arch. The thing is you have to know how to actually balance things when dealing with a curve. Dont lay the tray with the curve under it to where the tray teeter totters. Place the tray opposite the curve.
Splash Mountain was so much better. It told a story, it had a theme, & it was loved by kids & adults. The Tiana ride was lots of empty space inside with many CGI & backsplash without any animatronics. It was forced because of cancel culture. The ride wasn’t racist & the movie wasn’t either. I’ve seen it. Disney decided to get rid of it because of backlash. I get it but don’t understand it. The ride however was rushed & it shows. It’s completely boring. They could do an awesome job changing it into a Zootopia attraction with different sections of the ride being different cities. Would be perfect to be shot out & down the drop from the sewer from the 1st film. But they need the inclusion which has always been there. It’s the activism that has ruined Disney
Whoa — are they bringing back Splash Mountain?? And while they’re at it, how about changing the music on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom back to Zip A Dee Do Dah!
After reading the comments I can not believe no one mentioned that “adults”, can not or are too lazy to operate a very useful garbage can! And who in their right mind would complain they could no longer use an overflowing, reeking of garbage odor flat top trash can as their preferred wine and dine spot?!
I assume with most of these people being alcoholics their choice means a lot to them, another reason Disney should ban alcohol in the parks.
Comments for Disney Confirms Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Replacement, Magic Kingdom Ride Closing in November
Charles
Disney managed to get rid of a beloved ride with an ear worm theme song and reaplace it with a forgettable ride experience.
Rich Johnsoy
Song of the South was racist. Not sure why the MAGA faithful can’t understand that.
Just some guy
The ride was based on Briar Rabbit and all the animals, not the story behind Song of the South. Nothing in the ride was racist. Tiana was just Disney checking their social
agenda boxes.
FLAVOLS
Nope….but you keep looking for racism and you’ll find it.
