Disneyland to Close Racially Charged Splash Mountain Ride, Rebuild as ‘Tiana’s Bayou Adventure’ Based on ‘Princess and the Frog’

Disneyland announced Splash Mountain’s closing date after facing criticism and petitions over its ties to ‘Song of the South.’
The ride will be revamped to follow characters from ‘The Princess and the Frog,’ Disney’s first Black princess film.
The makeover aims to promote inclusivity and feature a magical adventure through an imagined New Orleans on Mardi Gras.
The new attraction will debut animatronic figures, original music, and seek to move away from the racist legacy of ‘Song of the South.’
