Things change and it’s sad to see a classic attraction that did not have any racial overtones reimagined but I’ll withhold judgment until I see the finished product.

It might be a better way of handling this than the changes they did to the Jungle Cruise - remove a character here, swap character heads there, don’t allow boat captains to speak to certain things, etc.

I'm blown away at the lengths these social engineers will go to rid the world of racism.

I'd guess all crime and misdemeanoring will be a thing of the past very soon.

The insult to the woke crowd that this ride is catered to, is that Disney is so fricking lazy, they couldn't even give Tiana her own ride. They're lazily repurposing an existing one.

To Disney, she's not even worth a new ride.

However, Disney does this all th time. They recently took an existing EPCOT ride and re-themed it to the whitest of white people
At least that retheming made a little sense. Frozen was based off a Norse fairy tale and the ride is in the Norway section at Epcot.

Nothing says Louisiana like mountains in western frontier towns

The irony here is pretty strong, if you know anything about Br’er Rabbit.

So it’s Louisiana themed now.

Yes. Riders will have to dodge bullets as they pass through the straight, fast portion of the ride.

Will an animatronic Edwin Edwards steal cash from riders pockets as they exit the ride?

If it’s a real New Orleans ride they should kidnap 1/100 people and just shoot 1/1000 so they can get real New Orleans experience

That’s the part of the ride where you get buried and then dug up

Yeah, she'll be an animatronic too, digging up Huey P Long and picking through his pockets. That will be the scene where the Laughing Place used to be.
