Save Splash Mountain & Fort Wilderness Cabins


Save Splash Mountain & Fort Wilderness Cabins
The Issue
Although it may seem too late to save Splash Mountain world-wide, it sure isnt too late. So Sign the petition and help me sign this Mighty Satisfactual ride. :D
Many claim the Splash Mountain is "Racist" or even "Outdated" but those claims are absurd.
Reason 1: No slaves were ever in the story. Splash mountain is based off of the movie Song of The South. This movie had an African-American man named Uncle Remus. He was the FIRST EVER black protagonist in any Disney movie, yes before Tiana. He was not mentioned to be a Slave but a plantation worker. You can even see he is happy reflecting that he was never even harmed by his owner.
Reason 2: Did you know, the cast behind Princess and The Frog was antisemitic? Why should we promote a movie based off of antisemitism? I thought Disney is a safe environment for everyone. Every belief of anykind should not have to worry about feeling unsafe. And the ride is going to have the dark topic of voodoo. Not really redemption.
Reason 3: Many claim Splash Mountain is problematic due to Song of the South. Even IF Song of the South was problematic, the ride itself isnt. Wanna know what is problematic? Princess and the Frog. It is inspired off of a heavily problematic story called the Frog Prince. Hypocrisy at its finest. Why should one of Walt Disney's favorite classic be erased from the parks? As the movie quotes, "You cannot run away from your troubles, aint there no place that far"
Song of the South has united many alike and shall not be erased from history. If we cannot save Splash we should atleast be able to save the movie. It has united many Twitter users together and has also created role-play accounts. Those are dedicated fans who know it is not problematic. They know more on what Disney needs than the company itself does.
Now lets talk about Fort Wilderness and its white-washing. It is removing the charm by completely redoing the cabins. This is not acceptable as it is no different from any other mobile home. This was a change that nobody wanted yet should be reversed.
As you can see, the new changes are lifeless. Tiana's ride has already received many budget cuts and the new cabins are lifeless. We all need a voice so if you may, please share this change.org on social media and use tags like #SaveSplashMountain or #SaveTheWDWCabins. If you have read all this, thank you. :D
Have a zip-a-dee-doo-da day!
