Park officials said the new “The Princess and the Frog”-themed attraction -- which will be replacing the iconic Splash Mountain ride -- will open this summer.
The good times will also roll in Anaheim, California, when a version of the ride opens later this year at the original Disneyland Park.
Disney officials described the new attraction’s backstory as one that “digs a little deeper” into Princess Tiana’s story.
They said park visitors will be transported to a Louisiana bayou, themed with cypress trees and Spanish moss, for a journey “full of music” and “Mama Odie’s magic” in preparation for “a celebration where everyone’s welcome.”
Disney also revealed a first look at Walt Disney Imagineering’s Tiana audio-animatronics figure, which will be featured in the ride. See it below:
