The Splash Mountain attraction in the domestic Disney parks is about to get an overhaul, and it's going to be completely "reimagined." On Thursday afternoon, Disney announced that the ride in both Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom would receive a new theme based on The Princess & The Frog.
According to the Disney Parks blog, both Disneyland and Walt Disney World will change up their longtime attraction. Based on the old Song of the South movie and following the antics of Brer Rabbit, Splash Mountain takes guests on a watery ride down into the briar patch.
The new attraction will pick up after the final kiss of Tiana and Naveen in the Disney animated feature film. Guests will ride along with Tiana and Louis the alligator as they prepare for "their first-ever Mardi Gras performance."
Guests can expect a lot of the popular music from the film's soundtrack to fill their ears as they ride.
In Walt Disney World, the new attraction will be a part of Frontierland and located next to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. In California, the attraction will sit on the edge of Critter Country and New Orleans Square, which fits in well since it is the setting for The Princess & The Frog.
