Crazy to call Splash Mountain your biggest regret when you brought the Lightning McQueen Racing Academy to life, worked on Journey Into Your Imagination with Figment, and put Nemo in the Seas

I feel like every former Disney fan can pinpoint the exact moment where the "magic" was shattered for them and they've never been able to see the company in the same light ever since.
What was yours? I'll start.
not tomorrowland related but i think it’s funny how there’s a misconception that people think rocket rods destroyed the track
yeah it destroyed the *steel* track (which can be unbolted and replaced) but the concrete track/pillars are totally usable
p.s yes it’s coming back
disinfluencers in a nutshell ruining the parks
classic rides were tossed by the wayside for “instagrammable” food/merch experiences which leads to another problem; WDI has no control over what attractions get greenlit, the merchandising team does. profitability is # 1
this is the attitude that squeezed its way in when being a disneyland/themepark fan became mainstream during the 60th
its not just about splash, its the quality of show that disney has failed to deliver in last 5-7 years. we dont settle for "ok" or "if its bad just dont ride it"
@morrowmeadows@BrerOswald Cool, splash mountaints art got changed to tianas bayou adventure art. If that art is not your cup of tea then don't ride the ride.
@Trysty102@BrerOswald thats the point its not just splash. its all of EPCOT, its DAK, its DCA, etc. some things dont need change especially if its a successful attraction. if we dont like it we call it out
