Literally everything WDW Pro has said about the redo of Splash Mountain is now confirmed by Disney Parks. More than a year of leaking the information turns out to have been totally spot on.
But considering 99% of the Twitter responses to Disney are negative, you’re probably not going to like this any better.
No, it’s not based on the movie. No, it’s not based on a restaurant. No, it’s not the original soundtrack. But if you wanted a log flume ride through a salt dome where Tiana now runs a socialist commune salt mining cooperative, well, you’ve come to the right place!
At a young age, Tiana developed a deep passion for cooking, and began to dream of one day owning her own business. Her father, James, taught her that good food brings folks together. One of the most exciting parts of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is that we’re going to see where Tiana’s life has taken her following the success of Tiana’s Palace, a restaurant she had dreamed of owning and worked so hard to make come true.
Walt Disney Imagineering is creating an original, next chapter story for Tiana. Within the attraction queue, guests will discover that she continues to grow her business with Tiana’s Foods – an employee-owned cooperative. Combining her talents with those of the local community, Tiana has transformed an aging salt mine and built a beloved brand.

The endeavor began when Tiana purchased the salt mine and the area surrounding the large salt dome it operated from. With the help of her mother Eudora, Naveen, Louis and fellow owners of the cooperative, Tiana revived the old salt mine and the surrounding land, growing a wide array of vegetables, herbs and spices for her recipes.
This multi-faceted enterprise has turned the aging salt mine into a space that has come alive. Complete with a boutique farm and both a working and teaching kitchen, Tiana’s Foods is where Tiana and her colleagues create all sorts of new products that they are bringing to the world, including a line of original hot sauces.

Tiana wants to give a big thanks to her family and friends and the entire community for all the support they’ve given her by throwing an amazing party during Mardi Gras season. When it turns out there’s been a bit of a mix–up with the party preparations, Tiana invites us to meet her at Tiana’s Foods to help with the missing ingredient for the party.
When we arrive, we may see that Tiana spruced up the company’s facilities with vibrant art from local artists. Food for the party is being prepared and beignets are being loaded into crates for the celebration. All kinds of preparations are underway for the journey into the bayou with Tiana, along with new and familiar friends from the animated film.
Picking up where that story left off, Tiana continues bringing people together with Tiana’s Foods, another treasured meeting place to spend time together and celebrate a diverse community. Tiana is also working with cooperative members to teach gardening and cooking to children of all ages, and inspiring other women to run successful businesses as the brand grows nationwide.

How is that for awful?
Here’s Pro’s video from last week that nailed every single detail. He’s been reporting the same for over a year:
For all the latest news that should be fun, keep reading That Park Place. As always, drop a comment down below and let us know your thoughts!


Disney’s version of Knott’s Berry Tales with a dome of salt.
This sounds like something that should have been at E.P.C.O.T Center.
It’s employee-owned but what happens when you disagree with the “not-the-boss?”
Sounds about as boring as a county fair temporary flume ride.
Here’s hoping it burns down during construction! Anything to stop this garbage ride…with all the workers getting away of course…. Then again if it fails miserably it could make an excellent episode of defunctland…
