We shared the news a couple of days ago about a petition to change the Splash Mountain theme to something from Princess and the Frog. It was a very heated debate on our Facebook Page and Group.
Today there is a petition To Keep Splash Mountain as it is in the Magic Kingdom!
On the site it says this:
Splash Mountain is an iconic ride at the Magic Kingdom and has been such for nearly 50 years. There is nothing wrong with the ride and is loved by millions of fans all over the world. To change such an iconic ride would erode The Nostalgia that lives in Disney World and take away a little bit of the magic.
They want to change the ride to be themed to something more politically correct is foolish. The characters in The Ride do not specifically generalize any race or group of people. They are nothing more than caricatures of the turn of the century America. To change them would be to remove a bid of our art history from the world and to be ashamed of it.
Show your support and let Disney know that you want Splash Mountain to stay exactly the way it is!
So if you feel Disney needs to leave Splash Mountain as it is you can sign the petition here. If you would like for Disney to re-imagine Splash Mountain to a Princess and the Frog theme just click here to find that petition.
