The Tiana's Bayou Adventure ride at Disneyland, the long-anticipated replacement for Splash Mountain, represents a new chapter for the theme park.

Disneyland calls it a musical journey "full of twists, turns and festive fun that crescendos with a 50-foot drop – as well as a swingin' soiree."

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens on Friday, and excitement is buzzing at the Southern California resort. It’s been months since Walt Disney World’s version of the ride debuted in June and nearly a year and a half since the original Splash Mountain closed in May 2023.
