  • Splash Mountain vs. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Side by Side POV Comparison - Before vs. After at the Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World, Florida! This is a side by side comparison of the New Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to the previous Splash Mountain which Tiana’s replaced in 2023. This POV of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure was professionally recorded by Disney Parks. The POV of Splash Mountain at Nighttime at the Magic Kingdom was recorded by myself during Splash Mountain’s Last Week of operation.

    I’m 15 and i’ll be honest. The visuals of tiana’s are very pretty. But splash mountains music was so much more catchy, and they had something to see in almost every corner. Tiana’s was just a bunch of fake plants and darkness and periodically animatronic moments. Not really any suspense before you get to the top and drop. Overall I’ll give it a 3.5/10, could’ve used a lot more creativity

      Night time definitely shines for this ride, so day 3.5. i’ll move it up to a 4 or 5 for night But yeah definitely needs some filling in the empty parts and needs a little more clearer narrative. Storytelling is prime when it has all sorts of emotions, and this one just screams happy the whole time. We definitely need the villain

    Splash had so much character! It embodied the old Disney philosophy that no matter which direction you look, there's always something to look at. The new ride has so many depressing dead spots. It really seems as though they struggled to fill the building, so they just stuck some fake plants in certain places and lit them with UV lights.

      You can see in this video that’s not the case. Some areas in splash are dark and there’s more detail in Tiana’s in many of the inbetween locations. The animatronics are spread out differently but there’s a similar amount. There’s a few areas of Tiana where there could be some basical animatronics but other than that I think it seems like a great experience 😭

    Okay, I have to consider that Splash Mountain was opened a good 35 years ago. So my expectations for this Tiana update is pretty high. Also, I have never seen the Princess and the Frog movie or know much about what it is about. My first reaction is the lighting is way worse for the new incarnation, and there seems to be areas that feel like you're waiting for cool stuff to come by to look at. Most of the new creatures, technologically, are barely an improvement. I do like the introduction of the new alligator, but the old Splash Mountain wins on creativity. Overall, the new story of Tiana left me scratching my head - the bit before the big fall is now very anticlimactic. The end was pretty well done though, I liked that. For me, I feel they should've kept Splash Mountain and just added to it and maybe updated the animatronics. The update feels like the imagineers were given a brief and did what was required and not much more. Compared to Tony Baxter this attraction now feels a little underwhelming.

      @@applianceman6009 what makes it worse is that Baxter actually directly worked with members of the NAACP specifically to ensure that Splash not only wasn’t racist at all, but to also make sure the ride truly honored the history and folklore of black Americans. The naacp loved the ride as Tony made it. It is a celebration of their folklore, and it was done absolutely beautifully.
      If I had to bet, I would say that literally 99% of people (including black people) don’t even know where the characters came from to begin with and don’t actually see the ride as “racist” at all (btw, I can easily argue that the Song of the South movie actually isn’t racist either, so I can expand on that as well if you wish). Guarantee you that 99% of complaints about the ride (honestly I’m not even sure that anyone actually did complain about the ride anyway) came from white liberals trying to be white saviors yet again as if black people are unable to stand up for themselves and have to have a white person do it for them (which in itself actually is pretty dang racist….obviously they don’t have the mental capacity to even wrap their minds around why that is because of their thorough brainwashing and inability to think critically or think for themselves). It’s all just such bs. Demolishing a classic and beloved ride because of 1% of people who may not even exist in the first place is literal insanity. Actual insanity.
      And believe me, Princess and the Frog is absolutely my favorite Disney Princess movie and I do think Tiana is deserving of a ride for sure. Turns out, Disney just ended up totally botching the whole thing. So now not only is Tiana’s new ride incredibly sub-par (she deserved much better in a new ride of her own, not a re-skin), they also destroyed Splash in the process.
      There are also reports of imagineers gleefully destroying Splash props and animatronics instead of sending some of them to museums or their archives like they’d normally do for a classic attraction that’s getting replaced. It’s all just been thrown out. They have literally destroyed historically significant items because white people are evil or whatever bs they spew. This video talks about all of that.

    One begins the ride that was once Splash Mountain and finds that all the beautiful animals and their cute homes are gone and replaced with billboards of human commercialism.
    One enters the mountain and finds that it is now dark and all the happy animated animals in their bright world are gone, and then one soon finds the culprit, a giant fat crocodile that apparently ate them all.
    One follows some dark scary passages and finds an alcoholic old woman blind from diabetes and you fall into her delirium and immediately see her problem in the form of a giant liquor bottle, which leads to her liquor bottles scattered everywhere, even hanging from the ceiling. Then you drop into hell and pass a small party of drunken humans and then the damn nightmare ends and you get off the boat, with nothing memorable to take with you, not even the music.

    Listen, I don’t wanna be a purist when it comes to rides, and I know that the “general mechanics,” for a lack of a better way of putting it, will still be there. But, I feel like the previous theme of Splash Mountain just made more sense with this ride. It’s kind of like with DCA’s Tower of Terror getting rethemed to GOTG: Mission Breakout. Yes, the ride is still the same mechanics-wise, but the theme of an old Hollywood hotel being haunted and you getting stuck in an elevator just made sense more with it.
    I also know that the source for the previous theme, “Song of the South,” was/is problematic, but, if I may be super technical here, the ride wasn’t based on the movie as a whole but rather just a portion of it. Like, when I first became acquainted with the ride, I genuinely thought that the story was just created specifically for it, not that it was based on a film or anything. So, I guess what I’m trying to get at here, is that I understood why they felt the need to retheme it due to the source’s issues, but at the same time, it didn’t really feel necessary.
    Idk. Just a bunch of mixed feelings, I guess. I can’t wait for this to open at Disneyland as I do miss the ride terribly (lol it’s my literal favorite at the park 😅), and I hope that when it does, I’ll still feel that magic and excitement I used to feel when it was Splash Mountain.

    Please do another side-by-side comparison when Tiana’s opens at Disneyland in Anaheim. It’s pretty clear that the old ride was better at MK, but here at Disneyland splash mountain was really dark for the last few years and it was hard to see a lot of the things on the ride. Looks like the ride at MK was much better maintained than ours. It’s baffling to me that most of the music is from the princess and the frog film but they didn’t use the story.

      The audio is stereo, with audio of each version on the side of their respective videos (left audio for Splash, right for Tiana). For mono output (i.e. one speaker, such as on your phone), the sound has to be simplified into one audio channel; in the case where two audio channels are simultaneously playing (like they are here), a mono device will often simply default to the left channel (in this case, Splash's audio).
      Wearing headphones allows for both audio sources to play together, which makes it easier to hear both versions at the same time.

    The outdoor section is supposed to use instrumental music so there is a bigger impact when you drop into the first indoor show scene and hear singing. The big drop has to play a pivotal role in the story to justify why its more intense than the other drops. The fact that Tiana's fails to understand these little things makes me unfortunately question whether the imagineers behind this project realize that Disney theme parks are meant to be designed as an artform (or if the executives are really limiting their talent way more than we thought they were).

    Idk why but what they did with the exterior “How Do You Do” section really irks me in particular (but maybe that’s just cause it was one of my favorite parts). In Splash, it served to set the world up before going into the first big scene. Whereas with TBA, it feels like it’s only there cause they reused Splash’s layout and couldn’t just cut straight to the bayou.

    Watching the side by side comparison, the only thing I can see as an upgrade was the lighting on the outside. Other than that, the story, music, animatronic characters were far superior on Splash Mountain than Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Too dark in some spots, no animatronics in others, too many screens, lackluster story line, and mediocre music really bothers me on this ride.

    Its been so long since I've been on Splash Mountain and I needed to watch this video to compare. But wow, Splash Mountain was so creative and unique and looked much better. It had so much character. The fact that the new ride is so dark while Splash is lit up. Disney should've never touched this ride. If they were that interested in making a Tiana themed ride then they should have just made a new one....

    I'm confused. It's "Tiana's Foods" as in it's "hers"...but then says: "employee-owned"? Who's company is it supposed to be? So, we are looking for a missing "spice" on the historic Avery Island salt mine? No,..no,..we are actually looking for a "musician" for the band instead in that salt mine? We then get shrunk down by voodoo that we can't talk about...to help us find this animal musician? No, wait!... the last song said we found the SPICE we were looking for in the salt mine....and YOU were the missing ingredient all along? What happened to that musician we were looking for? This thing seems soooo half-baked and NOT very well thought out!

Tiana's Bayou Adventure (after actually riding it), is done better than it appears in videos. And it's a better re-skin than Frozen was to Maelstrom. But again, she should have gotten her own ride.
