Spash Mountain

However, you don't need to any further than the whole Kate Smith controversy that erupted over the course of the last week. One outcry and Splash Mountain could be closed for up to a year in under 24 hours. I'm not looking to start any dissent here because we are on Intercot and we should keep it positive. However, we are supposed to learn from our past and our mistakes. How are we ever going to get better if we keep erasing everything that offends someone?

I'm surprised they didn't change it after Dixie Landings was renamed.

I agree that the ride tells the story. My son has never seen Song of the South but this is his favorite ride in WDW. The music is catchy and the story (as told by the ride) is fun.

The thing about it is that the whole ride is more about the 'Uncle Remus' stories by Joel Chandler Harris than the "Song of the South" movie. Growing up, I was reading the 'Uncle Remus' stories in grade school (a parochial school at that!) Knew nothing about the movie, but knew B'rer Rabbit, B'rer Bear and B'rer Fox, as well as the other characters.

What do you consider old? The ride opened 43 years after the movie was released.

Star Wars came out 42 years ago. By the time the next Avatar movie comes out, the first will be 40 years old
