The whole point of splash mountain was the tension building throughout the ride for the big drop, that is completely lost in TBA. Had hey stuck to the original Princess Tiana film & theme and kept key characters while building up for the big drop, we would be looking at a ride far better than splash ever dared be. The imagineers fumbled this one, and I dont have to be "racist" or "in a cult" to admit this.

Really great to compare the 2 versions of the ride. I do think Splash was better. At least at Disneyland, it really did have that Critter Country vibe to it. While Tiana is not terrible or anything, it just seems to lack the feeling that Splash had. I think Tiana is now an attraction lower on my list.

Wish there was a POV of Splash where everything was working properly.

There are, but you'd probably be sacrificing video quality in order to see the animatronics back when they were at their best. There are POV recordings of the ride from as far back as the 90s that you can find if you dig around a bit. Edit: the Splash Mountain at Tokyo Disneyland is actually very well maintained too, so you could probably find a much more recent POV of that version of the ride, as it's still operational today.

And the winner is... SPLASH MOUNTAIN!!!! 💦⛰🐰🦊🐻

Worst retheme ever. Splash when it was taken care of steamrolls Tiana's, its so much more iconic, every song is memorable and Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah left a bigger impression on the end.

$150M doesn't buy much anymore, except some plants and reskinned animatronics

You know what....if disney was on a budget cut that they had to use less animations and more screens wouldn't the smart thing to do be to listen to their audience keep splash mountain and replace a lot of the animations with these new state of the art ones? That sounds like an actual upgrade for a ride

is it me, or is the new queue music a little too loud? also I'm not sure if the boarding location were different in the side by side, but there seem to be a lot more logs in view in the refurbished view (likely because the flow speed is slightly slower somehow)

I still prefer Splash Mountain to be honest. I know TBA fits the New Orleans square segment a lot but it doesn't have the same charm as SM.

It's about time The Princess and The Frog got some love! this looks so nice. I'm sure they'll add things and tweak it over time. Disney needs to do some upgrades here and there. Splash Mountain looked wore out. Very nice indeed.

@@clutchgod4932 at one point splash was my favorite ride of all time even though I was a little bias. I acted like people act on the internet today. Now I can admit it has problems but seeing others praising the attraction in areas or ways people did not like or care for is genuinely upsetting, especially when Tiana fix’s a lot of those problems. Yes the ride has problems but the good things are fantastic just like splash. You’ll always see people hate on stuff like tianas just to hate, but when you stop wearing about the past realize that your just hyping things up because, well nostalgia, you’ll actually understand how impressive and cool tianas really is. Idk why so many people feel the need to cherry pick every little bad thing they dislike and just don’t have fun, but those are not really the people you want to hang around with. Hope you understand what I mean

Please do a commentary video I like when you did those videos like the ones on your other account Chris with a k

I literally want to curl into a ball and cry. All the incredible music, detail and scenery from Splash is gone. It’s all forgettable music and empty space with an animatronic here and there. The first animatronic you can literally see before entering the building on Splash.

The fact that a 30+ year old ride is better or even the same as TBA indicates the bad state of the American imagineers. TBA is boring, basic, and cheap and should have never gotten the green light until Disney had the budget and an actual story.

It's mid at best, but because it replaced something that was much better, it's gonna amplify the bad reviews specifically because it doesn't measure up. The biggest fail seems to be that they were trying way too hard to play it safe and please everybody, and completely forgot that the ride was built as a thrill ride and inherently isn't for everyone. The story they are telling absolutely does not match with the ride system they tried reusing.

To me Splash Mountain is more rustic bland theme while Tiana's look more colorful and elegant. If they would of just would did more colorful to splash mountain, I would of said it was the winner because I did ride the ride before but it was just to boring for my taste. I like more character to the rides I ride. I haven't rode Tiana's Bayou yet, but since it has more characteristics to it looking at this video, I am looking forward to it.
