NOT a 'Save Splash' page. 🪕⛰️💦 Fascinated by theme park design and animatronics. (I'm also a cynical prick most of the time.)

🧵 Alright, let's put the big bad myth to rest. Walt Disney's Song of the South does NOT "glorify slavery." It is set AFTER slavery ended. .

It's so wild to me how few Sonic toys were available when I was growing up. These days, it's pretty much impossible to walk into a store without finding shelves full of Sonic figures and playsets. 10 year old me would be would be overjoyed. 😭.

Can we stop this, fr?? . These characters are not black. Or white. Or Asian. They are anthropomorphic animals. Yes, Knuckles is certainly INSPIRED by black culture, that's been confirmed. But he himself is not black. He is a red echidna from a fictional tribe.

Anti-Splashers will rush to defend the NAACP's negative stance on SotS, but will completely dismiss their positive stance on Splash. So their opinions from the 40s are valid, but their opinions from the 80s aren't because "times change"?. Make it make sense.
Oh so the NAACP doesn’t matter anymore? Again y’all only care about our opinions when it benefits you, isn’t that right Judy?.

Attention UK Werehog fans, you can FINALLY get your claws on the Jakks Werehog figure this month!. I've already pre-ordered mine from Smyths and I cannot wait to own him, he looks incredible and it's so nice to see Unleashed merch in 2025. Jakks just keeps on cooking. 😭💜🌙

Pixie dusters will make shitty, tasteless posts like this all the time, yet they can't handle an ounce of criticism towards TBA and think the bunny rabbit log flume is "offensive".
Imagine being a childless man who spends every day going to Disney and joking about animals loosing their habitat because something offends you. @ClckbaitCorless I found Tommy Jr.

This is a common misinterpretation I see way too often. "Disney will never bring back the Br'ers because yadayada-". We know. We're not in denial of that, we are aware Disney doesn't want to use the characters anymore. Out point is that what Disney is doing is immoral.
@ButtercupPB @tcmack568 @BrerOswald @SplashFan2000 We aren’t denying the reality that the Splash critters are used no where currently, we’re saying we think it’s WRONG that they aren’t. I don’t know if you know that.

People seem to forget just how well the 30th anniversary merch sold. I remember praying they still had the plushies in stock during my visit because I had seen how fast they were selling. 😭. (And this was before the scalper raids started after the re-theme announcement.).
@ButtercupPB @KateFisher96 @SplashFan2000 @BrerOswald And Splash merch used to sell REALLY well . you can get Tiana merch literally anywhere, while Splash merch was park exclusive.it was hella popular and always sold well.

Why does updating attractions have to mean retheming them now?. What happened to just refurbing something and keeping the same attraction everyone knows and loves while freshening it up and making it better?.

We're currently living in this bizarre timeline where 30+ year olds are telling people in their teens-20s to "get with the times.". I thought it was supposed to be the other way around?.
@aygueyestasfeo @SplashFan2000 @BrerOswald You do know that a good amount of us who grew up with splash are gen z/millenials right? Splash came out in the 90s. You are older than I am and I loved splash it was a childhood ride for me.

Dear CEX, as a "queer" I find this patronizing as fuck. Can I just like. Come into your store and buy games without a lecture? Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I have zero respect for anyone who uses the block feature just because they're losing an argument they started. It's cowardly, embarassing and completely destroys your argument in an instant. Grow a pair or don't bait people arguments in the first place.

Finally watching SotS for yourself after years of being told it's the most offensive thing Disney has ever made is the movie equivalent of being slapped with a wet noodle. You feel absolutely nothing but confusion.

So I randomly googled how many Mega Man games there are out of curiosity and HOLY SH-.

To further add to this, "kids like it" also isn't an excuse to feed them mindless crap. Yes, kids like skibidi toilet and cocomelon, but they also like things that are smart, creative and have passion and effort put into them. See the original Thomas series for proof of that.
The problem with the "kids like it" argument is that kids like anything as long as it's fun and engaging for them. Kids like Splash because fun water ride with bright colors. Kids like PotC because cool pirates. Kids like BTM because fast train.

@BrerOswald You could use the “kids like it” argument for pretty much everything. What about the kids that like TSI?.

One of the bleakest experiences I've had is going into a toy store and it being mostly expensive collectables aimed at adults that aren't meant to be opened or played with. Don't get me wrong, that stuff has it's place, but are kids really disinterested in imaginative play now?.

It's the Cocomelon generation, man. Take away the noise, movement and bright colors for 5 seconds and they start having a fucking crisis because their brains just have not been trained to slow down and actually engage with the world around them.
By the way, this is precisely why they’re replacing scenic Rivers of America and imaginative Tom Sawyer Island with a f*cking Cars ride. The children and man children of America can’t sit for ONE second without having their dopamine receptors stroked.

Most Splash fans I know don't give a single fuck about SotS. It's possible to like Splash while also acknowledging the movie that inspired it hasn't aged well in a lot of aspects. Hell, even liking SotS doesn't make you a bad person, in the same way liking Peter Pan doesn't.
I would probably respect the Splash Mountain people if they only used the context of the ride and their nostalgia as reasons why they miss the ride because by all means it’s a phenomenal ride and I miss it (though it did have to go). But roping Song of the South in…. .
