It's a fantasy world in the south. Could be anywhere - not just Georgia where Song of the South takes place. Aren't there parts of the south that have lots of hills?
Isn't PaTF set in New Orleans? Disney is filled with rides that where even the smallest details mimic the movies they are based on. It;s not out of the ordinary for them to make sure things are as realistic to the movie as they can be.
I just think it's the lazy way out. They are using someone elses idea for a fantasy ride instead of coming up with something new. It would be one thing if Splash was sitting there all defunct,, but IMO retheming a beloved ride is the lazy way out so one doesn't have to come with an additional ride that people will enjoy. YMMV.
Having said all that it isn't going to make me not like the ride anymore, even though I'm disappointed that the nostalgia will be gone while riding it.
It's a water flume, unless that changes it really doesn't matter to me in the end.
Now if they mess with Haunted Mansion then I won't be setting foot in MK ever again.
