A year after its initial announcement, Disney has finally shared some details and new concept art for the new Princess and the Frog ride that will be replacing Splash Mountain in the coming years.
Though we still don’t have a name or a target opening date for this reimagined ride, Disney has confirmed that the ride’s story will take place after the final kiss as Naveen and Louis join Tiana on her latest adventure, hosting a one-of-a-kind Mardi Gras celebration where everyone is welcome – during which some original music inspired by songs from the film will bring guests into the story. Tiana is leading the way and fans will be able to encounter old friends and make new ones along the way as well! You can check out new concept art showing the ride vehicle behind Tiana:
In addition, Disney has released a thirty-minute video where Disney imagineers and some of the real-life inspirations behind the Princess and the Frog film talk about Tiana’s impact over the past decade and the creative process behind the upcoming attraction, including the next-level audio-animatronic technology that Imagineers are employing to bring it to life.

Hopefully more details about this attraction will be announced soon as development continues on this high-profile project.
