1The ride is considered one of Disney's best and is a favorite for many. It represents Imagineering at it's best. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
2It's one of the most popular rides in the park and constantly has long wait times.
3The whole feel of Frontierland would be completely ruined, as Splash Mountain sits right in the middle of it. (WDW)
4The only problem with the ride is substandard maintenance, which in itself is not a good reason to retheme it.
5The ride is one of Disney's most well-themed and detailed attractions, a new theme just wouldn't feel the same.
6There needs to be a good mix of old and new at the park. Not everything needs to be modernized. That's part of what people like about the parks to begin with.
7The ride features animated Disney characters that are less familiar and gives them a chance to shine despite originating from a controversial movie. Kicking them out of Splash will basically kill any relevance they have.
8Disney needs to create new rides and experiences, not try to recreate old ones.
9Changing a popular ride instead of creating a new one doesn't add capacity.
10Changing the theme doesn't erase the fact that Song of the South existed.
11A log flume ride is inappropriate for "The Princess and the Frog"
12Disney is giving Tiana credit she doesn't deserve
13There will still be a minimum height requirement
14The new theme will always feel like the knee-jerk reaction to BLM it is
15Tiana and her movie really aren't that popular
16Disney needs to give the Princesses a rest
17There's no guarantee that Disney won't find something "problematic" about the new ride and want to re-re-theme it in a decade or two
18It erases good Southern representation in the mainstream
19"Song of the South" seems dated, but was progressive for its time
20A lot of the controversy around "Song of the South" stems from the fact that many people assume it's set during slavery, while it is set in the Reconstruction Era
22Most of the animatronics in the Disneyland version of the ride are reused from an old attraction called America Sings
23The Br'er characters are far older than both "Song of the South" and the novel it was based on
