ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) — Splash Mountain will be getting a makeover soon at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland in California. The Disney Park Blog announced Thursday that Splash Mountain will be changed to a “Princess and the Frog” theme. The move comes after an outcry on social media to change the ride and a viral petition calling for it to be re-themed.

For context, it's being changing to Princess and the Frog theme. This was the obvious choice if they were to change it.

clearly this has been in the works for a while, or at least the concept has been. Its unfortunate because the Song of the South is actually a very good movie

How many outcries can the planet handle before it gives up and jumps in front of an asteroid

I think princesses are demeaning to women. How disappointing. Princesses are kept women by princes. Kids objectify princesses.

You KNOW that all around the country there a black folks sitting around, getting high, laughing their a$$es off saying, "Okay, what kind of stupid sh!t can we come up with next to get these ignorant honkey mother f*ckers to rename something? Oh, oh, I got it, we'll say that Splash Mountain is racist!!! Everybody knows that black people can't swim and don't like water!!! ROTFLMAO!!!"

i liked that they built the ride around song of the south, but times have changed for blacks since then.

i think they should build the new theme around something like this



presenting a more realistic image of the state of black people today after 50 years of welfare.

This one actually makes sense. A lot of the characters and music are from the movie that makes slavery seem like a fun time. Plus, I go to Disney every year, and I’ve definitely pointed out the lack of black characters before. It’ll be cool having a New Orleans themed ride there.

Moreover, we've completely redefined "outcry" and "outrage".

Used to be, this meant there was some actual substantial number of people.

Now? A few hundred noisy miscreants

I mean I don’t really care if they update it as it will probably be a nicer ride now with updated animatronics. Princess and the Frog is a good movie.

I really don’t understand how it was previously non-inclusive. The criticisms and controversies surrounding the movie were not in the ride.

They are now promoting that a black woman can only find sexual partners in the animal kingdom. That's pretty damn racist as are you for supporting this.

My kid loves Princess and the Frog. But this scene makes me laugh everytime. The black cook has the most stereotypical voice and sayings possible. It is comical.

Hope she does not kiss the frog without the frog's consent.
