After decades of criticism for its racially insensitive theme, Disney’s Splash Mountain ride has been reimagined as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, inspired by the movie “The Princess and the Frog.” Opening on June 28 in Orlando, Florida, the new log-flume ride features Disney’s first Black princess, Tiana. The decision to change the ride comes amid cultural shifts and nationwide protests over racial injustice. Initial reactions to the new ride have been mixed, with some praising the representation of Black characters while others criticize the lack of a compelling storyline. Disney’s attention to detail and research into Louisiana culture has been commended, with advanced animatronics and immersive visuals impressing visitors. Despite some backlash from fans, Disney’s move to replace the outdated Splash Mountain theme with a more inclusive and culturally relevant one reflects the company's commitment to diversity and representation.
