You honestly think that any more than 5% of the tourists who ride Splash Mountain know anything at all about the history of that song?

Responses:

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
