Nice catch! Thanks for the correction!
@@CentralDisney np! sorry if I sounded rude in that comment. Cool concept for a splash mountain retheme!
I love the idea! Though I'd name it "Splash Muppets". I'd have the sign look like the "Mountain" part got crossed out to now read "Muppets".
Love the creative idea that would have made the massive changes to the exterior unnecessary. I think the main problem changing it over to a princess theme is that your target audience for the attraction is too young for the "scary" drop. They've gone to elaborate effort to tone down the height to make it look less scary. The Muppets definitely would have appealed to a teenage and adult audience similar to the original. Probably would have saved them a ton of money on the remodel and given our beloved felt creatures a great new adventure.
Yes but princess and the frog came out in 2009 so most of its targeted audience is now 20
I’d love to see multiple Splash Mountain rides with different themes that could keep the Splash Mountain name intact! Some ideas would include Splash Mountain: Pirates’ Peak (themed to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise), Moana’s Montunui Splash Mountain (themed to Moana), Hakuna Matata Splash Mountain (themed to The Lion King), Jungle Splash Mountain (themed to The Jungle Book), Wakanda Splash Mountain (themed to Black Panther), Muppet Splash Mountain (themed to The Muppets), etc.!
This would be a perfect solution for Tokyo Disney Splash Mountain, as rumors abound which state that Tokyo Disney is being forced into taking down the original "Splash Mountain."
This would be a great retheme !!!
I remember that when Splash Mountain was announced the world was anticipating that this would bring peace in the Middle East!
is this a joke, or did this really happen?
@@papagenji9418 like the Olympic torch, they had a runner passing a churro from each state to promote world peace
That’s a cute idea, and a wonderful tribute to the original Muppet vision 3-D attraction.
Let’s just make every attraction themed around the muppets, it’d make everything better since the muppets are the best Disney IP
I love this idea and agree with the fact the muppets need better representation. NGL if they consider getting rid of the muppets vision 3-D I say us muppets fans go on strike. Love this vid can’t wait to see more I am subscribing
This is a fantastic idea!! I would have loved to go on this when I was 4 and as an adult today.
The logs and splash mountain itself here could be connected to kermit's swamp.
SOMEBODY MAKE THIS MAN AN IMAGINEER! 🫡
I love the Muppet themed proposal and think your idea would've been so much better than what Disney went with. Especially in Florida, where it's likely Muppet Vision will end Muppets presence in the parks. Both cheaper, more fun, and probably more popular than Princess & Frog.
I would have loved that idea.
Me too.
Thats a great idea and I enjoy how it all fits together. thank you.
Nice idea! Keep up the good work!
Disney should hire you.
Very well thought out, my friend. 🐸
Now that Tiana's Bayou Adventure is open and watching a few videos of it, I'd like to say, yours is better.
As a Muppets fan and Jim Henson fanatic, I love this Idea! Like you were saying, the Tiana ride makes sense for New Orlean's Square in California, but this is so good for Florida! I might try to recreate this in Planet Zoo or Minecraft.
Planet Zoo? What about Planet Coaster?
@@carminecdinoproductions Unfortunately, I don't have Planet Coaster. But there are still rides in Planet Zoo, plus, now I can add ANimals.
@@YouTryIt13 Maybe you can get Planet Coaster and recreate it for that game soon!
@@carminecdinoproductions Maybe, but it is little expensive
This would have been so cool!
Yeah! I agree!
What if there’s the Lion King Ride at Disneyland and Disney World?
They have an attraction just not a ride
I absolutely love this idea!
I always thought that a Lion King theme would have been perfect as a replacement instead of the Princess and the Frog theme. The last drop could be from the scene where Simba and Scar fight each other at cliff of Pride Rock and the very bottom we see Scar being confronted by the Hyenas. In place of the Boat scene we can see Rafiki holding up a newborn Lion while on the other side we can see the entire animal kingdom 🙇♀️ 🙇♂️ 🙇.
Great idea
They went with more in the swamp of the bayou vibes rather than actual New Orleans which fits that area great
I want to see Kermit and his frog family in the swamp! Would be great!
Yeah
Listened to Rainbow going round a a1000 animatronic of Kermit/Piggy on the China Pirates boat system would be dope.
@@natsirt0088 Yeah! I agree!
This sounds wonderful. I would definitely ride your ride.
i dont think we will see muppet vision go any time soon, I work at the Attraction, and we just recently got new seats installed, and updated Waldo projections on the walls, which must have taken lots of money, and due to this I know that they are trying to maintain this attraction!
This needs to be added!!!
I think you're actually somewhat mistaken regarding Tiana's not fitting in Frontierland. In fact, I'd argue Splash Mountain was a worse fit! Here's my logic: Princess and the Frog takes place in Louisiana, which is on the Western end of the Mississippi River, whereas Splash Mountain took place in Southern Georgia. Tom Saywer's island is based on the Mark Twain's home in Mississippi. In between them is the Rivers of America, where the Liberty Belle Riverboat runs. Plus, the west end of Louisiana actually borders the eastern end of Texas, so while I was also somewhat apprehensive of Splash Mountain's retheme into Tiana's, it actually does work! Even so, I did love your concept! The Muppets haven't gotten a lot of love from Disney, so I really appreciated seeing you suggest what could've been a really fun idea!
This I such a good idea, you could’ve tried to incorporate The Swedish Chef as well.
That would have been a tremendous idea with less cost. What a fantastic concept.
I was thinking that they should retheme the Paradise Park area into a land based on the Muppets and no Little Mermaid is staying because I like that ride. The first attraction is The Golden Zeppelins which will be rethemed to Pigs in Space from The Muppet Show, The 2nd attraction is Goofy's Sky School that will be rethemed to The Electric Mayhem Band instead of Airplanes you will be riding The Electric Mayhem van and will send into madness through L.A. and will have a new show scene with the van making it in time to the Muppet show performance, The 3rd Attraction is Jumpin Jellyfish which will be rethemed to Gonzo instead of you on a Jellyfish it is a chair supposed to represent Smoke because we go up in the Sky because the chain got launched from the Cannon, The 4th Attraction is Silly Symphony Swings that will be rethemed to Dr Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker and attraction is supposed to be about Bunsen and Beaker ceated a new swing system for his lab and lets the guests try it and the Pizza restaurant in Paradise Park will be Pizza Rizzo from Disney's Hollywood studios in Florida
At one point when Superstar Limo closed, there was consideration that the ride would be rethemed with the Muppets. It baffles me that that never happened and we ended up with a generic Monsters Inc ride.
You know I hope splash mountain will bring back brer rabbit,brer bear,and brer fox back again
Better yet call it Kermit’s Swamp
And Jim also voice ernie too. Awesome idea central Disney.
as excited as i am for tiana's bayou adventure, this was such a creative and fun idea! i think a muppets treasure island retheme could've worked well for this attraction too, or even on tom sawyers island :-)
I would have loved watching this
@central Disney you should become an imaginer for Disney to create a muppets theme water attraction.
Fun idea. Except that the Walt Disney Co. won't even spend the money to produce a second season of MAYHEM, much less re-theming one of the biggest draws in their parks with the Muppets. Disney doesn't care about the Muppets. They don't exactly *regret* acquiring them, but they are obviously placing them at rock-bottom on the priority list. Doing just enough to keep the property on life-support, but that's about it.
Their problem is that the Muppets were NEVER a good fit for Disney. The entire production process for the Muppets is far too chaotic and talent-driven. That's not Disney's m.o. (no matter what their public face will tell you). Disney IS formula. Muppets are not. And any attempt to make Muppets into formula reads false.
Long story short...its fun to imagine, but there is less-than-zero percent chance that this could have been an option.
yes that would be awesome, i love the muppets
Yep
Can you please do more videos like this one?
Where were you when they greenlit this current abomination? A good idea like yours could have saved a beloved attraction without costing millions of dollars.
Perfecto! Another would be to replace Star Tours with a Muppet attraction to go along with Muppets 3D.
With the issues surrounding Muppetvision 3D long term, I feel pressure has to be put on management to decide on a long term muppet parks presence.
I think options are either
1, Muppet expansion near rock and rollercoaster (rethemed to the Mayhem of course)
2, Allow the muppets to take over animation courtyard in Hollywood studio including a rebuilt theatre and HD clean of muppetvision 3D plus another ride and restaurant with a rowlf animatronic playing the piano.
3, Muppetvision 3D moves to the imagination pavillon at Epcot taking over the "vacant" theatre. A crossover scene with Figment would be nice but kinda unnecessary.
4, Muppetvision 3D is listed as a historic building and unable to be removed or allowed to decay.
My worry would be we are left without a Muppets Ride or presence in the parks and that would be a tragedy!!!
They're remaking it that I here it
Sorry for commenting this but it was 1946 not 1949
Strongly agreed 👍 💯
But I do wish she had a ride like snow white.
Nope, that would get old fast
I say Splash Mountain would have been rethemed to Bambi since Bambi has no attraction in the Disney parks.
You know the muppets did preform zip a dee doh dah
This would have been so much better because we'd still have all the awesome animatronics I stead of just the few Tiana's will have. And it could still be a mountain. Splash Mountain was visually impressive, but all the work trying to make it not look like a mountain stripped all that away. Now the exterior looks like a mess, and makes the attraction look like a dud.
You could’ve included zip a dee doh dah somewhere
Frontierland? I thought WDW's Splash Mountain was in Critter Country. Along with Country Bear Jamboree.
I don’t mean to nitpick but Song of the South was released in 1946 and not 1949
So yeah, I never liked the comment of how it shouldn't be rethemed because it's in frontierland, ignoring that song of the south takes place in the same local as princess and the frog. Sorry, but that is the worst reason to disagree with this retheme when you're just replacing one bayou themed ride with another.
But the muppets dosen't go with it either smh 😮
All about Tiana ❤
Can you what is my hero
But the drop is scary n i cant handle the drop lol
1946!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Muppets would've def been better than a ride based on a crap movie that only made 104 million domestic
