I rode this yesterday and it's so good! I'm a big Princess and the Frog fan so take this with a grain of salt as I was thrilled just to hear musical cues and references to a movie I've always felt has been underrated since it's release. But as a theme park fan and Disney park fan especially, of course I thought Splash Mountain was the best version of a flume to exist.
But it really felt that in the years that they closed Splash, they've been busy with the beautification of this month. It just looks so lush and pretty. The AAs, of course, were stellar and since I'd avoided a lot of spoilers, it was nice to see just so many of them there were and how wonderfully fluid they moved.
Of course, I would've loved a classic retelling of the story. But this version of the ride is plenty fun and joyous and seems like it hits all the right notes that will make this fun for kids, fans of the characters, and those who are glad to have this ride back in the park with this new theme.
