It was greater than a 12 months in the past when Disney Parks introduced its Splash Mountain theme park attraction can be rethemed across the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog, replacing the problematic Song of the South. Now, we’ve lastly received a couple of particulars about what’s in retailer.

For those that won’t know, Splash Mountain is the Disney parks’ equal of a log flume trip. The motive Tiana must hop on a ship is that, instantly after the kiss scene on the finish of the movie, she, Naveen, and Louis the alligator head downriver to throw an enormous Mardi Gras occasion. You’re alongside for the trip, fairly actually. According to Disney’s Imagineers, company will likely be “active participants” within the trip, which suggests there will likely be an actor taking part in Tiana (in addition to somebody taking part in Naveen, one should assume) who will work together immediately with park guests—which all the time sounds tense once you’ve received social anxiousness. There will likely be new music and new characters impressed by the film as properly and primarily based on the idea artwork, Disneyland News Today speculates that a few of them will probably be constructed on a few of the trip’s present animatronics. At the top of the attraction, the “ultimate Mardi Gras party” awaits.

There was one other new piece of idea artwork launched, but it surely wasn’t made by Disney. “[O]ne of the early sources of inspiration has come from Sharika Mahdi — a visual artist, art educator, and alumna of the renowned YAYA (Young Aspirations Young Artists) Arts Center located in New Orleans — who was commissioned to create a series of four original paintings to inspire Imagineers,” in keeping with Disney Parks. That’s the primary of the 4 pictures above.

No point out was made when the brand new, Princess and the Frog-themed attraction will debut. However, this announcement got here on day one in every of Disney’s “World Princess Week,” so maybe there’s extra coming. Or perhaps we’ll get extra information on the Tiana TV collection coming to Disney+ in 2023? Either means, keep tuned.
