Disney fans hoping for one last ride on Splash Mountain have less than two months to take the plunge at Walt Disney World.
the attraction would open at both Disneyland and Disney World in late 2024.
However fans may not have to wait that long. Disney World told USA TODAY there was no need to say"late" anymore for Florida's attraction, but simply 2024.“This is not a retelling of ‘The Princess and the Frog,’ ” Ted Robledo, executive creative director at Walt Disney Imagineering, told reporters Thursday.Having realized her own dream of opening her own restaurant, Tiana now wants to help her community succeed too, as guests will learn in the ride's queue.
Charita Carter, executive creative producer for Walt Disney Imagineering, stressed the importance of preserving authenticity while giving dimension to Tiana’s world. "She's fantastical, but she came from a very real place," Carter said. She hopes guests from Louisiana will ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure and say,"Yeah, this feels right."Tiana, Prince Naveen, Louis the alligator and several other characters from"The Princess and the Frog" will star in Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and their original voice actors will reprise their roles, according to Carter.
Robledo said Imagineers looked for animals that lived in the bayou and imagined what kinds of found objects they might use to make instruments. Music will play a big part in the ride, just like in the film and history of New Orleans.
