“Mardi Gras Mountain: A Princess and the Frog Adventure” Ride-Through Video Concept

Hope you liked it! All rights go to Disney for the songs and characters used in this video.

Not only did they do Splash a disservice. They did Princess and the Frog a tremendous disservice! The movie provided so many great things that could have been used in the ride. It was practically HANDED to the imaginears. Instead, the believed they knew better and came up with this employee owned food co-op, safari find the band Tiana.

Disney needs to consult with you immediately

Very cool! I would've added Dr. Facilier's shadow lurking around and haunting us in a few of the projection screens where the fireflies are if I were an Imagineer, something to kind of plant a seed in people's minds that he's up to something before we get to the final drop. I would perhaps also place an animatronic or projection of him casting a spell on us above the second drop where Mama Odie is.

It’s kind of a crime not to have Keith David part of this ride.

One change I'd suggest, add in the scene where Tiana and Naveen become human, and then end the ride off at Tiana's resturant, fully realized

I call for a re-retheme!!! This is what everyone wanted when disney said they were rethemeing thus ride. Disney ruined a classic disney ride. They messed up, BIG TIME!!!

Personally, I would prefer that they bring back Splash Mountain. But if that isn't an option. Here's how I would do the story: Tiana and Naveen are getting ready for the Mardi Gras celebration. When Louis tells them that the best celebration is in the bayou. When they get there, it seems like every critter is playing a musical instrument. But then they get word that Mama Odie is in trouble. It turns out Dr. Falicier is trying to possess her from the other side. Therby returning to our world and stealing Mama Odie's powers in the process. During the lift to the final drop, we see Faliciar and Odie duking it out. But just as she's about to throw him off a cliff and back to the other side. He drags our log with him saying: "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me." Thankfully, Mama Odie saves us just in the nick of time. The ride's finale involves the bayou musicians and the musicians of New Orleans partying together through the streets of the city. The ride then ends with Tiana, Naveen and Louis waving goodbye, before the log ends up back at the station.

This is the thing. My problem isn’t that splash mountain got replaced, no no no. I was excited for Tiana. The thing is, is that USA Disney thinks everything needs to be new and immersive! Look at Japan, the rapunzel and frozen ride. They took the stories STRAIGHT from the movies. And here we are in USA Disney, having “blockbuster” lands like Star Wars and Avengers land (I even forgot their names) that I forget to even walk in! Nobody wants a new story, we want the original ones!

When the fans make a better ride than the “imagineers” you’ve got a problem Disney. Good going

This video is more exciting than the actual ride. I thought it would be cool to make the section right before the lift hill look like a cemetery cript with an AA Fecilier. And then after the plunge, we see his tombstone like in the movie. And I will never understand why they didn’t keep the steamboat and had Mama Odie laying it down on the pipe organs, which the pink flamingos replacing the chickens, Tiana and Naveen dancing, and of course Ray and Evangeline shining from above.

Now THATS a movie based ride!

Now I miss Splash Mountain even more.. So long Songs of the south. R.I.P SM

Amazing!! I can’t believe Disney missed this opportunity. Especially the shadows on the drop, would’ve been so cool.

This was 1000x better! I was bopping along the whole time. This version is FUN

Effortless . The ride flew by because the scenes flowed so well. And it followed the lighting and musical and subsequent emotional tones of splash mountain much better bravo

Much better but the ending could be a Mardi Gra wedding with Tiana in her princess dress. Good job . Well thought out . Disney take notice .

Great concept. Great video. Excellent use of the music. Shows Disney could certainly have created a fun, joyous ride with a little scary element too. Loved this.

Now THIS makes sense! Anyone from Disney watching this???

Great video, this is what I expected the ride to be. The actual ride has so much empty. Honestly looks like it's still a work in progress. Not sure what they were thinking.
