D23 News: Look at Splash Mountain Retheme to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
We already have had the news that our beloved by rundown Splash Mountain would be rethemed to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure but now we get a closer look at it at the D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. The new themed attraction is after the Disney movie ‘Princess and the Frog’ and will replace the iconic ride and its racially prejudiced Splash Mountain. Disney has been conflicted with the ride since many have called the ride insensitive to certain ethnicities and called to replace some of its original theming.
Scott Gustin twitted pictures of the scaled model with “First look at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the Tiana’s Foods theme: They added a sign that says, “Celebration of family and friends of New Orleans.” Frankly it looks kind of…. lame, but it is truly too early to tell since we can’t see the interior yet. The mockup of it lit up at night is pretty. Holding out hope it’s an improvement.” Look below at his tweet!!!
