Disney is set to unveil Tiana's Bayou Adventure, a reimagined version of the iconic Splash Mountain ride at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida on June 28. This musical water ride will take guests through the swamps of New Orleans with beloved characters from the film "The Princess and the Frog," including Tiana, Prince Naveen, and Mama Odie. The ride features new original music as well as classic songs from the animated film. Disney's investment in revamping existing attractions like Splash Mountain is part of a larger strategy to infuse popular intellectual properties into its theme parks. The updated ride will showcase state-of-the-art electronic animatronics, elevating the guest experience with more realistic movements. With the new Tiana-themed ride, Disney aims to create a more inclusive and engaging experience for visitors while staying true to the magic that the company is known for.
