The word "Adventure" always makes things sound more daring/thrilling, so that's the only reason I can think of to make such a change this late in the game.

Since the spat of horrible accidents that have happened this year at water parks, legal probably suggested something more thrilling and less dangerous sounding.
I forgot about that incident...I guess Miss Fortune Falls doesn't exactly paint a rosy picture...
On second thought, I believe now it had more to do with what pops up when you google Miss Fortune. Apparently, she's a video game character.
Well it's a family raft ride, so yes, it will appeal far more to families than an individual person.
Well, originally it was Miss Cleo FallsOn second thought, I believe now it had more to do with what pops up when you google Miss Fortune. Apparently, she's a video game character.
At the end you find out if you're the father or not

Yup, LoL.
Disney is far more family oriented (and is really only aiming for that crowd tbh), you and your friends will likely enjoy Volcano Bay much more.
New concept art:

Am I the only one who thinks this looks really sad in comparison to Volcano Bay...?
Maybe I have ridiculously low expectations, but this ride looks impressively themed for a water park ride.
As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't have to be at Universal's level. Disney building things is good for all of us.

I like the look of this ride and nothing about it makes me think it looks "sad" in comparison to VB. However, this new attraction at Typhoon is a diversion from the shark reef closing.
I understand that the reef was expensive to maintain, but it's also part of what made Typhoon Lagoon uniquely Disney back in the day. If they just let that sit there without redevelopment, then they have solved very little.
The area that Shark reef takes up is a sizeable area so redevelopment in that area could be pretty easy to add multiple slides, however, this being Disney, I expect it to just sit there for quite some time. Recent aerials show no movement at the site, which has been closed since October.

So the concept artwork looks almost the same as the older artwork. I also noticed how the slide has netting over it just like Crush N Gusher.
Say what you want about Universal not knowing how to theme a waterpark with colored slides, but this new slide doesn't really look like anything new, high tech, or really all that exciting. I'm underwhelmed.

It's a family raft ride, it's not supposed to be ground breaking. It's something to promote and add some capacity.

True, but after all these years you'd think Disney would throw SOMETHING unique in there...a half pipe element, bowl, funnel...something. Just building another Teamboat Springs is a cheap addition for one of the most popular water parks on the planet.
