I'm not fan of destroying past works like movies/books no matter how offensive they are. But a ride? Of course it needs to stay up with the times. -- nm

I mean end of the day I dont care. But them re-imagining Splash Mountain was a rash and foolish decision by WDW. -- (edited) - Jovian Jan 25, 09:49 9
- Considering how much re-imagining they do in the parks, I'm not sure rash fits. -- nm - Qale Jan 25, 09:55 4
  - I saw a statement recently that "95% of conservative outrage is them learning how things have always worked for the very first time". -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 10:02
  - They used the 'outrage' to change a beloved attraction in order to market a new/different Disney character. - Jovian Jan 25, 09:59 1
    - So, exactly, not rash. -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 10:01
  - rash seems inevitable from neglected water rides -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 09:58
- but, it hurts no one to change it, and it hurts some to keep it. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 09:54 2
  - Disagree. It hurts no one to keep it. No one was complaining about this. And they could have just taken out the song. - Jovian Jan 25, 09:57 1
    - many many people were complaining about this though, right? it's a ride. at an amusement park. they change for reasons all the time. -- nm* - Andie Jan 25, 09:59
- (and by I dont care I solely mean Im not going to complain about my annoyance. it is what it is) -- nm - Jovian Jan 25, 09:50
I needn't be destroyed, but it also needn't be in circulation. Once copyright expires it'll end up in circulation anyway. - TWuG Jan 25, 09:48 4
- I wouldn't actively distribute Song of the South, no. But I also wouldn't, say, go on a hunt for every copy like a Traci Lords video or anything. -- nm* - Qale Jan 25, 09:52 3
  - "Love, love, love ..." -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 09:58
  - you know how that goes though. once you ban something, everyone has a copy of it -- nm - colin Jan 25, 09:55 1
    - True. Song of the South will go back to being forgotten like Gone With the Wind's controversy soon enough. I have to defend their existence though, - Qale Jan 25, 10:00
where does the line between offensive and dangerous stand for you? -- nm - colin Jan 25, 09:44 2
- Very, very far down the line. While an argument could be made that a ride IS an artistic expression, on the surface it doesn't feel as compelling. -- nm - Qale Jan 25, 09:51
- Splash Mountain Bottled Water -- nm* - Beryllium Jan 25, 09:46
