Where Can I Ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure?
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is located in Disneyland and Disney World. It replaces Splash Mountain in both Disney theme parks.
Why Happened to Splash Mountain?
In June 2020, several petitions began circulating urging the reimagining of the Disney ride. Originally based on the 1946 Disney film Song of the South, the movie and the ride has been criticized for its portrayal of the post-Civil War South and depicting racist stereotypes.
