As a devoted fan of Disney and an avid visitor to their theme parks, I feel a deep connection with the iconic ride, Splash Mountain. This ride holds a special place in my heart, as it does for thousands of others who have experienced its magic. However, Disney's recent decision to replace Splash Mountain with Tiana's Bayou Adventure has sparked controversy.

Splash Mountain is not just another amusement park ride; it is an integral part of our shared cultural experience. Its unique blend of thrill and storytelling has been captivating audiences for decades. On the other hand, Tiana's Bayou Adventure raises concerns about perpetuating racial stereotypes by referencing salt mines - a symbol often associated with slavery.

While we appreciate Disney’s efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity through their attractions, we believe that this change may inadvertently cancel culture rather than celebrate it. We urge Disney to reconsider this decision and find alternative ways to honor Princess Tiana without erasing the legacy of Splash Mountain.

We also request that Disney conduct thorough research into any potential negative implications before implementing changes in future attractions. This will help ensure that all rides are respectful towards every community while still providing enjoyment for all visitors.

Let us preserve our cherished memories while creating new ones that are inclusive and respectful towards everyone involved. Sign this petition if you stand for preserving cultural heritage while promoting diversity at Disneyland.

Although, always remember, Splash Mountain shall stay in our hearts forever if we shall not prevail
