And what about their ruined phones, etc because they were forced to sit in a sinking boat on Splash mountain? I know i'm making Disney pay for that if I was unable to get out of the lap bar and the boat sank and my phone stopped working due to that.Give them dry clothes from the gift shops. Every theme park does that in the event a guests clothes are ruined in some way (wet paint, dripping grease, torn by a restraint, etc)

Splash has been getting scrubbed lately. That's not something that signifies to me that it's sticking around: Disney Continues to Scrub Splash Mountain from Websites With Removal of Blog Post and Play Disney Parks App GameSplash is project that they might get actual pushback for cancelling though. I think it's going to happen, but not anytime soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if Velocicoaster is open for a year or more before Florida's Splash even closes to start construction.
And they haven't even started with the farewell tour merch yet.Disney's happy to keep the merch coming, though.
I feel like they need to be more clear on when exactly this is closing. I'm getting mixed messages from the sudden scrubbing, internal rumors, and what Disney has said publicly. I know with the pandemic and financials, Splash probably won't close till 2022, but still.From the Jurassic thread:

Without reading through 24 pages of comments, has anything been said about the retheme happening simultaneously on both coasts?
Nothing official.
As far as rumors go, Jim Hill (I know, I know...) has said work won't begin until 2022 at the very earliest for Magic Kingdom's version.
I think the amount of backlash they would get for not doing it would be rather high.There is plenty of (unsubstantiated) talk that Disney might quietly never make the transition at Magic Kingdom.
But as much as I might wish that to be so, my expectation is that it will (eventually) happen at MK. I'd put money on it opening first in Disneyland, though.
Ya know, it's almost as if Disney may *finally* be realizing that the real world isn't Twitter. There are probably more people than you think that strongly disagree with this redo.I think the amount of backlash they would get for not doing it would be rather high.
There's literally nothing but baseless speculation and wishful thinking from people who are against it to suggest this project won't happen.Ya know, it's almost as if Disney may *finally* be realizing that the real world isn't Twitter. There are probably more people than you think that strongly disagree with this redo.
I understand that this redo has supposedly been in the works for a while now. However, we must remember that Disney is not in a great financial place right now, to say the least. Their movies are halted. Many of their theme parks are still shut down. WDW is underperforming. They are literally bleeding cash (Not as bad as they were earlier during the shutdowns, but they're definitely hurting still). They are not in a position to make an overlay that won't be popular with a LOT of Disney fans. Being that they're in a bad place financially, would you want to risk throwing money into changing a classic ride that many fans are demanding to leave alone?
Who's "deeply offended?" Let's not conflate that with disappointment.
Also, I know this is a Universal site, but there's a trend around here of talking about "Disney fans" as if they're some strange, alien category of weirdos with no overlap among Universal's fanbase.
