From WDWMagic, theming has been beginning to be unveiled!
The mountain itself looks nice so far, but the tower looks way out of scale and is skewing the forced perspective.

I know it's still like halfway through construction but... it looks like a rock covered in Moss.From WDWMagic, theming has been beginning to be unveiled!
Of all of the concept art absurdities, this one was by far the least plausible compared to what could even be built. That would have added 30-40 feet to the height of the structure while connecting at a single point that wasn’t designed to bear that much weight.I'll never get over this is how the mountain could look...its iconic and beautiful compared to.....what we are getting

Disney released it....so its on them not us for excepting something greatOf all of the concept art absurdities, this one was by far the least plausible compared to what could even be built.

Honorable mention obviously going to the Starcruiser lobby and the fountains that were supposed to hide the Harmonious barges.
That actually looks really nice!From WDWMagic, theming has been beginning to be unveiled!
I mean....no villainSupposedly, Iger did a walkthrough and thought the redo was boring. I don't know if this is true or if it is one of those things where a so-called insider just spouted off some nonsense.
Splash Mountain had two antagonists, this apparently has none. I think that is a massive mistake.Rides with no villain. . .
Space mountain
Haunted mansion
Pirates of the caribbean
big thunder railroad mountain
tower of terror
flight of passage
plus many more
I don't think a villain is needed to have conflict. Lots can go wrong without it being malicious or on purpose by a villian. We have no idea what will lead us to the drops or cause us to have to take on the drops, all know is Dr. Facilier is not in it.
Yes but this is a Fantasyland Dark ride that happens to be a log rideRides with no villain. . .

Splash Mountain is absolutely a thrill ride, though. It's not a gentle boat ride like the Avatar Jungle Cruise Experience. I'm not convinced this new treatment will be as compelling as the old one, but I'm willing to wait and see what they come up with. I also think it's okay for a ride to be fun and based on vibes rather than a story with a conflict that needs resolution.Many of the attraction's you are talking about are about the atmosphere and or Thrill rides.

Splash mountain is gone. Whatever splash had, it had. Are we really approaching this with a splash had 34 animatronics so this needs to have 34, splash had 7 songs so this needs to have 7 songs mentality? Why are we comparing this to it? Were people this critical when the frozen dark ride removed the troll antagonist? Can this ride be something of it's own identity? Does it have to follow some unwritten formula to live up to its predecessor?Splash Mountain had two antagonists, this apparently has none. I think that is a massive mistake.
While I agree that people should give this a chance to live or die on its own merits, I think they were, yes.Were people this critical when the frozen dark ride removed the troll antagonist?
