Splash Mountain Signs, Statues, and Birdhouses Removed as Construction Continues

Splash Mountain Construction Continues

Splash Mountain construction is well underway so we decided to stop by the other day to get a better look at the progress.

The old Splash Mountain sign with Brer Rabbit atop is no longer in place. We also noted that some of the birdhouses have been removed.

Some of the signs are still in place.

Above you can see the line entrance sign has yet to be taken down.

Guests traversing the pathway to the train can still spot the Brer Rabbit sign on the building just to the left.

If only we could rescue him! Poor Brer Rabbit.

The kid’s play area is still in place and open for use.

Scaffolding has gone up around the mountain on both sides while work continues on the facade and upper-level ride track.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Coming Soon

The construction walls still in place advertise the coming attraction.

Splash Mountain opened in October 1992 and recently closed its doors on January 23, 2023. Tiana’s Bayou Adventures will be taking its place.

Disney Parks gives us a little info on what to expect with the new Tiana-themed attraction.

“In Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, you’ll join Princess Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis during Mardi Gras season as they prepare to host a one-of-a-kind celebration for the people of New Orleans. This new scene is the thrilling moment you first drop into the bayou and encounter some friends both new and familiar.”

I imagine they will be able to re-purpose quite a bit from Splash Mountain. I think it will be nice to keep a bit of the nostalgia sort of hidden in there sort of like Mr. Toad in the Haunted mansion Cemetary or the picture of Mr. Toad handing the deed to his home over to owl in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction.

Disney Gossip and More Possible Changes

There has even been gossip of Disney re-theming Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe into a Tiana-themed one.

The location of Pecos Bills would be perfect since it’s just across from the coming soon attraction. Who could be mad at beignets?

I will miss Splash Mountain but I understand change and progress is inevitable. While I hope they keep a little hidden nod to Splash Mountain here and there I am sure the new attraction will be really nice.
