Tiana's Bayou Adventure, a new Princess and the Frog-themed ride, opens at Disney World's Magic Kingdom on June 28, 2024.
The ride replaces the controversial Splash Mountain and will feature a 50-foot drop along with original music from the movie.
The rebranding addresses criticism of Splash Mountain's portrayal of post-Civil War South and racist stereotypes.
Disneyland in California will also introduce Tiana's Bayou Adventure later in the year.
The new attraction underscores Disney's commitment to enhancing diversity and inclusivity for park visitors.
Disney is undertaking a major expansion of the Magic Kingdom as part of a $60 billion initiative, with details yet to be disclosed.
