TianasBayouAdventure gets gorgeous new concept art as production on the SplashMountain refit at Disney World sets a start date.
New details have just been announced by The Walt Disney Company, giving further information on the progress and status of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, the refitting and restyling of the Splash Mountain attraction which resides both in Walt Disney World in Florida, and Disneyland Park in Anaheim.
The ride's story will take guests to the New Orleans carnival season, as Princess Tiana — hero of The Princess and the Frog — prepares for a one-of-a-kind celebration. Disney has shown concept art of a scene that they describe as the “thrilling moment you first drop into the bayou and encounter some friends both new and familiar".
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite the gentle nature of the trip through the Bayou, the 12-minute ride will still end in the same way. Guests will be propelled out the top of what was once known as Chick-a-Pin Hill down a 52ft drop at 45mph - getting absolutely soaked in the process. At the same time, Disney has announced that Splash Mountain will close in its current form for the final time at Walt Disney World on January 23, 2023.
Disney has never released Song of the South on home video format in the United States, and it has never been shown on Disney+ either. The film's critics have stated that it portrays plantation life through rose-tinted spectacles and that its portrayal of African Americans is racist. In the wake of the riots surrounding the murder of George Floyd, Disney subsequently announced that they would retheme the ride.
Splash Mountain will close at Walt Disney World on January 23, 2023, to begin the refit. Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in its new form in late 2024 at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Park.
