It is no secret Disneyland has been undergoing some changes. One of the best yet worst parts of Disney Parks is all the new and exciting attractions always coming. But a new attraction often means the closing of an old one.

On Wednesday, May 31, 2023, Disney closed the doors on one of their most iconic rides. Splash Mountain held its last trip into the briar patch with stany by times as long as 65 minutes. Now that the memorable ride is closed, renovations have begun, and the construction walls have gone up.

Splash Mountain’s closing ended a chapter but gave a chance to a new chapter. The ride is now being reimagined into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, inspired by the film ‘Princess and the Frog’ (2009). While Imagineers have been hard at work with the transformation, some parts of Splash Mountain can still be seen by Guests. Or they were able to be seen.

Br’er Rabbit has officially been given the boot. Although Disneyland and Walt Disney World have removed their Splash Mountain attraction, there is still one left standing. For those die-hard Splash Mountain lovers, fans can still enjoy the ride at Tokyo Disneyland.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

The exciting new attraction is set to open sometime in 2024. Guests can look forward to a familiar ride through the bayou but with different characters, a new theme, and new music. Inspired by the “heart and culture of New Orleans,” Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be a one-of-a-kind celebration with thrilling drops, picking up where Tiana’s story left off in the hit film.
