Disney officially announced that the replacement of Splash Mountain inspired by âThe Princess and the Frogâ will be called Tianaâs Bayou Adventure.
The announcement was made during the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans.
The new ride will replace Splash Mountain at both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. The story of the ride is that Tiana, with Naveen and Louis, sets off on a journey to host a unique Mardi Gras party. Guests will be âactive participantsâ in the ride and it will end with the âultimate Mardi Gras party.â
The attraction will have new music inspired by the filmâs soundtrack. There will be new characters alongside the characters from the animated movie. Based on silhouettes of characters in the concept art, at least some may be redressed audio-animatronics from Splash Mountain.Â
Disney did not announce when Splash Mountain will close, but Tianaâs Bayou Adventure will open in late 2024.
