While Disneyland has been closed, there has been no lack of discussion of the park, specifically, fans who felt that it was past time for Splash Mountain to get a serious update. A discussion started on Twitter which led to a Change.org petition asking Disney to replace the attraction’s Song of the South themeing with that of The Princess and the Frog. Now, Disney has responded, and that response is “yeah, sounds good.”
Today Disney has announced that reporting that Walt Disney Imagineering is at work on a redesign of Splash Mountain that will do exactly what fans were asking for. A piece of concept art has given us an idea of what the new ride might look like.
