Disney parks Splash Mountain at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., will be closed starting May 31, and has released concept art of what its successor, Tiana Bayou Adventure, will look like.
Tiana Bayou Adventure is coming to Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, according to a blog post from Disney. The new attraction will be themed around the Disney movie “The Princess and the Frog.”
The company’s decision to remove the theme of Splash Mountain in June 2022 drew widespread criticism that it promoted “racial stereotypes”.
The theme of the trip was based on the adventures of Brer Rabbit in the 1946 film “Song of the South”, which criticized how it represented plant life.

DC CEO Bob Iger said at the March 2020 shareholder meeting that “Anthem of the South” — despite the disclaimer — felt inappropriate in today’s world.
Disney Parks released the first concept Wednesday of what the attraction could look like.
“The Magic of the Bayou is calling, so listen closely because we’re ‘digging a little deeper’ into the experiences guests can expect from future attractions at the Disneyland Resort. Walt Disney World Resort, The Adventures of Tiana Bayu! The magic of the sea shines during Mardi Gras at a celebration hosted by Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. And today, I’m thrilled to announce that Mama Audie will be reprising her role as inspiration for that magic,” said Carmen Smith, Senior Vice President, Creative Development – Product/Content and Inclusive Strategies.
