Obviously it's fair to believe that not everyone will like the change. For some, however, this might become their new favorite ride, when they didn't care for Splash Mountain. I don't think that the lines will be going away at the new version of this ride.
For me, personally, I think that the Tiki Room and the Country Bears are some of the worst attractions on the planet, and I didn't mind Stitch's Great Escape. I would rather go do Stitch 20 times in a row than sit through either the Tiki Room or The Country Bears. In fact, I think that The Country Bears is the *worst* attraction in all of Disney.
But that's me. And I recognize that others love it for a variety of reasons. I respect that. Please, by all means, go and enjoy them. Just don't ask me to sit through it with you.

Well, I remember reading people complaining about half the attractions for some issue or another. Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Presidents, Davy Crocket/Tom Sawyer, Tiki, Aladdin, Pirates, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Carousel of Progress, Monsters Inc, and MainStreet USA. Disney might be under construction for another decade.

Walt did say Disney would always be changing.

Lol. I remember my father dragging me onto Country Bears when I was young. I always thought it was creepy. He would take us to the Tiki Room also, which I thought was boring. Now that I'm older, I wonder if he was just looking for spots to rest or cool off. I took my kids to the Tiki room once when they were young for purely nostalgic reasons. It was closed, but the cast member said she would give us a lei if we could sing the song. I was slightly surprised (and proud) when my kids could sing it, since I didn't take them into it on a regular basis. It must have been genetic memory.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

If one ride being changed is going to “wreck” it than it was “wrecked” long ago.

It'll be the hall of president at best. They'll remove the others. Maybe it'll turn into a meet n greet

I really wish they kept If you had wings. I mean it would be cool to fly on a plane. Buzz is such a let down. Hate that they change things.
Well actually I like Dreamflight.
Some changes are good. 7 dwarfs, Mermaid, soarin, Animal Kingdom. But I get it, some folks want to see a whole new experience each time they go, or get bored easily. So, they have to come out with gimmicky things like Frozen/Maelstrom, or what not.

Going to miss it as this WAS my favorite attraction. I know the movie was an issue but the ride is just a ride
-
This has been in the works for awhile, so not surprising to me at all. I'm in favor. Probably the only thing I will miss is the music.

Well, The train bound for wreckingville got started down the tracks a while ago. Changing Splash Mountain is just another car put onto the train for me. I like Splash Mountain the way it is. I couldn't tell you how many times I sang Zip a Dee Doo Dah to get me through a bad work day.
Also The Princess and the Frog deserves it's own ride, not just a cheap remake of an old ride..
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Is there any indication of when they are going to do this? Is construction still halted due to Covid?

Disney is expected to report earnings next week, Tuesday in fact. It will be interesting to see how COVID-19 has impacted their business. Not just for the parks, but for travel and media as a whole. However, I'm with you. My guess is that with so many projects in progress (Ratatouille, Avengers and Tron to name a few, plus the front have of Epcot overall) and with them being cash depressed, the Splash Mountain re-theme maybe out a couple years. I'm sure they intend to follow through with the plan, but my thought is that its more of a PR move to keep them in good graces with the public.
