Disney unveils ride based on first Black princess

(CNN)– A ride based on Disney’s first Black princess opens to the public on June 28, in Orlando, Florida.

It replaces the decades old Splash Mountain attraction beloved by many Disney fans, yet also widely criticized.

The new ride is inspired by the movie “The Princess and The Frog” and its heroine Tiana.

Park employees and annual pass holders are first-up to get previews of the ride.

The structure of the log flume ride has not changed but the theme has been completely redone.
