Disney’s Splash Mountain to be Replaced – In an unprecedented move, Disney has announced that it will officially be replacing Splash Mountain with a Princess and the Frog themed attraction. The original Splash Mountain- a beloved ride for fans of DisneyWorld and Disneyland alike was based on the controversial and wildly problematic Disney movie Song of the South which was released in 1946.

In a blog post on the Disney official website, the creators said that they would not be removing the ride completely but rather “reimagining it” or “plussing it” as it is referred to by Disney Imagineers. Disney said that they are trying to answer the question: “how can we build upon or elevate the experience and tell a fresh, relevant story?”

The reimagining of the ride comes at a convenient and relevant time for the Walt Disney Company. There have been continuous discussions and social media pushes for the ride to be reimagined in the past. But in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement that has been sweeping the United States and the World the company stated that “the retheming of Splash Mountain is of particular importance today. The new concept is inclusive – one that all of our guests can connect with and be inspired by, and it speaks to the diversity of the millions of people who visit our parks each year.”
