Part 2/8:
Splash Mountain, an iconic Disney ride loved by many, was closed after nearly three decades to be replaced with a new theme based on Disney's "The Princess and the Frog." This decision sparked immediate backlash from fans who cherished the original attraction, which they associated with nostalgia and childhood memories. Disney's attempt to rebrand the ride as Tiana's Bayou Adventure aimed to modernize and refresh the experience, focusing on a character that's less universally beloved compared to other Disney icons.
