    40:10 You're right the Gondolas very much hold special memories for me as it was my first ever ride on any Disney park. The biggest highlight for me was surprisingly not the extremely beautiful Venice theming nor was it the breathtaking view of Mt Prometheus, but rather the lovely staff members who went above and beyond to make this little boat ride even more special. They were so kind and helpful throughout the entire ride; they interacted and entertained the guests while we were in queue, the boatman sang a little song that actually led up to the big Mt Prometheus reveal, I don't think most of that ride would be memorable if it weren't for the incredible staff. Props to them

    This store is literally always empty and nobody ever buys anything. They dont even sell splash merch anymore and critter country specific merch is scarce, so theres no reason to shop here over anywhere else in the park. Its at an awkward spot and it makes sense to close it when that labor could be put elsewhere. They closed Splashdown photos and the saloon was closed for a while too. I dont think this store closing has anything to do with Splash itself. That being said, they could have just kept making splash merch and im sure people would flock to this store.

    Regular stores across Japan also close dead on time and start to shove out all the guests about 15 minutes before closing time and the famous melody chime playing announcing the closing. It's especially bizarre here in Osaka in the shopping street full of people and the stores full of customers that they are interrupted mid way and are shown the door. Then after 8pm you walk the streets full of potential buyers but all the shops are closed. I especially hate it when rushing to buy something after you've just finished your work you basically have like 1-2 hours to run around the shopping street in a hurry before they kick you out. Don't need customer's money, huh.. Also you know the parks can be better because you've been to other parks in other countries. Most Japanese never traveled outside Japan and can't imagine how things are out there, so Tokyo Disney Resort is the only (the standard) one, they will ever know. There's basically no reference level to anything.

    I don't want Splash Tokyo to get rethemed but a zootopia theme would be interesting. It's got the animals and the landscape is perfect without changing much of it. There's less singing but I guess that would be fine. I honestly wish they could have done this here in America and just put Tiana ride in Fantasyland. Both Splash had a lot of old animatronics that I think could have been reused and the land could've change without much of a problem.

    Disney aren’t letting TDL use rights for the characters in the gift shops and as walk around ect, the only thing they haven’t been able to do is stop them from using them on the ride. They straight up don’t want to and it’s Disney applying pressure along with channels like yourself who are leaning towards the retheme. Why do you think they have Pluto and Mickey on the new splash mountain pin? They can’t use the br’ers in merchandise, but splash is still popular, so this is the only choice they had…

    • @stanfordite1

      Disney legally cannot withhold the characters or merchandise. Splash Mountain is never closing in Tokyo and is still open in the US. I was there on October 1, 2046 for WDW’s 75th and Disneyland’s centennial on July 17, 2055 and Splash Mountain is still there. Tiana is banned like Pete Rose.

      Theres no proof of an embargo on the characters OLC can or cannot use. They recently printed some pamphlets for the get wet max season that had the Brer costume characters on it and they are still occasionally seen on merch with other characters and in areas around the park. Plus, the new pin is actually just a modified version of an old pin from splash at magic kingdom which already had mickey and pluto on it. I do believe OLC has received a "kind request" from Disney in the states to limit their usage of the characters and song of the south IP, but theres nothing to indicate they arent allowed to use them.

    The most ideal retheme would be an original story that still revolved around the critters of Critter Country without the brers and not some other Disney ip. The sightlines and theming for Splash were just so precise and calculated. There's just so many details it almost feels like a small TDS area in TDL. It would be a very big waste if they just threw it all away. Sadly, if they're getting rid of that shop with cute critter lore, they might be ditching the critter theme entirely. It would also be quite sad to lose that amazing soundtrack from the ride and the area itself. Side note: do you think the unannounced development in adventureland could be for a potential Tiana ride in the future? I feel a normal boat system would work better than logs in a flume. It could allow the bayou to look more like a bayou.

    I am not sure OLC would love to invest in a mega-E ticket anymore... All money invested in Fantasy Springs was pre-covid decision. The company looks very different after covid. They did choose to close Space Mountain and build a whole new one, but consider the cost to maintain a 40-year-old roller coster and the cost to build a new one, it may not be hugely different. I really feel OCL is getting closer to Iger Disney regarding how to cut corners...This week they started to put all central seats in shows to be VP and DPA, this feels harsh, honestly, it feels like you have to pay to see the show after paying for admission... (well. it is actually the situation.. The lottery is nearly impossible to win and they canceled the standby queue even for the second floor seat of the first show) After DPA for Believe... After budget cut on shows... After...

      You’re so right about OLC being a different company post-covid. The only real ride announcement we’ve seen from them is the Buzz retheme which isn’t exactly encouraging. I do hope that’s the one division that will continue to produce good stuff but we’ll see.

      Yeah I would not trust current day OLC to build anything worthy of replacing their entire Critter Country essentially or a retheme on the scale of what we saw at Fantasy Springs/Beauty and the Beast since those were all budgeted prior to covid

As much as I dislike Iger, he never cut corners. Cars Land and Pandora come to mind. It was Chapek and D’Amaro who slashed the budgets on everything, and hide behind paywalls.

    I really hope that Splash Mountain stays. It’s one of the best attractions to ever open at any Disney Park and I bet OLC knows having the last one is a big draw. While I’m sure that they would make something far better than Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, I would much prefer them build a entirely new ride instead of close their best attraction.

    If they change splash mountain, they should make it Duffy & friends themed. Make some sort of Duffy Land back there. The Japanese people would love it 😊 Regardless, Tokyo Disney needs some sort of Duffy Land/Ride somewhere in their parks. Duffy is so popular there, I’m surprised there isn’t something themed there already?!

      duffy is probably the worst and most generic IP ever made by disney, that would be a horrible IP to retheme splash to. Also, duffy is relegated to disneysea and rarely has anything in Land itself.

      @@Princessmisery - How long the licensing deal last is irrelevant. OLC is banned from selling merchandise with the characters from Splash Mountain, and is revoking the licensing to “Zippity Do Da”. Which means the ride would be silent and OLC cannot earn any extra money from merchandising.

    They closed Splash Mountain in the US only because so many Americans who have NEVER have even seen the movie said that it’s racist. Not only is the movie not racist, but it was pretty woke for its time period. That said, domestic Disney redid its native scenes in both Jungle Cruise and Peter Pan because somehow made up tribes in South Central Amerafrica and Neverland are culturally insensitive. But OLC goes and puts up teepees and other such things in their new Fantasy Springs section. And doesn’t Tokyo have the “original” pirates? Like, they may have added Jack Sparrow, but still chase women in the town they pillage and then auction them off, because, you know, pirates were historically not good people? Pretty sure that store was closed when I went in June. I even asked a cast member about it. I certainly didn’t notice it at all when walking out from the ride.
