Spoiler: Timber Mountain log ride at KBF is a better ride. I’m excited to see a re-theme on splash.

I mean it’s my favorite Knotts ride but would never switch the log ride for SplashSpoiler: Timber Mountain log ride at KBF is a better ride. I’m excited to see a re-theme on splash.
Yeah. Splash has been one of my favorite dark rides, but because I've been expecting it to kick the bucket and for understandable reasons, I've tried to detach myself from it--because I fear I'll come across as looking like that ahem, gentleman who wrote that Sentinel op-ed if I get upset about it. Basically I've been kind of pretending it doesn't exist. But I stumbled upon that video and it piqued my curiosity, because it has been odd that they didn't bother saying when they'd do it--normally when a park announces an attraction is going to the retirement home, they give a date.
I haven't been to a Disney park since last Summer (possible early fall at the latest) and tbh, I don't miss it. Going to the park with a mask was not enjoyable, but more importantly (and why I didn't renew my pass) park hopping not being an option and having to get a reservation every time you we wanted to go just became very annoying. At the price I paid for an AP, I couldn't re-up knowing that that's what i'd be dealing with again.I just have very little desire to go back to MK for the foreseeable future. HM and SM were THE attractions there for me (both were in my top five favorite dark rides), and one of them has become tainted in the last year.
I cancelled my Disney Pass as well.

And I'm not really interested in just having a pass for Rise, which I may or may not be able to ride when I go
This is why I'm glad to see rides being less safe from change as time goes on
Obviously problematic depictions need to be addressed, of course, that's the major priority
But MK specifically has a legacy problem that leads to things being "untouchable"
*Laughs in Disneyland*MK in particular just feels so suffocating to me. The pathways are tight + it's the most attended park in the world = pain (I like big crowds because of what lack thereof means, but none of the other parks in the area have so consistently given such a feeling of being herded like cattle). It always feels orders of magnitude hotter than the others (I know this is how many feel about DAK, of course). It's also the most inconvenient to get to and from, bar none. The food is also...lacking, and the tap water there tastes especially sulfuric. On top of that, it's where WDW's lack of any thrill coaster is most glaring (even if one would fit better in the other three, it's still where I'm most reminded of it if that makes sense).
Personally, IOA scratches all my itchesI can't even imagine skipping out on Magic Kingdom when I take trips to Orlando.
Pound for pound, it's still the Orlando park with the most to do, the greatest variety of offerings, and the most nostalgia (i.e. most of the attractions I enjoyed as a child are still there).
I wish I could say the same about my beloved Epcot and Universal Studios Florida.
YOU WILL SEE THE EPCOT FOUNTAIN AND LIKE IT!Disney makes it hard to schedule a visit. It's like they're so arrogant they want you to kiss theirs. That said, I really love their parks but I hate their management philosophy.

But I've never been shy about being a Universal fanboy
