Tiana's Bayou Adventure, the rethemed Splash Mountain, is set to reopen June 28 at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
was first announced four years ago. Similar alterations at Disneyland in California are expected to be complete before the end of the year. The revamp of Splash Mountain into Tiana's Bayou Adventure is part of a bigger strategy for Disney to infuse relevant, fan-favorite intellectual properties into its existing rides and theme parks.
Disney revolutionized animatronics decades ago with its hydraulic, or liquid-fueled, and pneumatic, or air-fueled, systems, but the electronic animatronics for Tiana's Bayou allow for more refined and precise movement, making them appear more realistic. Similar animatronics can be seen in the rides Smuggler's Run and Rise of the Resistance, in Galaxy's Edge.
The ability to get more out of the parks in recent years was crucial for CEO Bob Iger and Disney's board as they tried to make the company more profitable and improve share performance.
