Was there any audio playing in the runoff up to the finale? Or is that also going to be Down in New Orleans after the drop?
I will admit, I don't like the idea of an uplifting/happy song playing as you go up the lift hill. The lift is meant to fill you with dread and then the drop provides the relief and the happy song comes after.Dig a little deeper on the lift hill?

The only music that I heard today was Dig a Little Deeper at the base of the lift hill. It was so faint I was questioning myself at first until I 100% heard the words "Dig a Little Deeper" and then instantly knew what I was hearing. I really wish it was possible to get a video of it to share with everyone, but because it was at the base of the lift hill, you can only hear it from in the park when the logs aren't moving and it's quiet. My last 3 trips have resulted in catching some incredible stuff to say the least.Was there any audio playing in the runoff up to the finale?

The lift was meant to do that, on the previous version of this ride.
There is no rule saying that any other version of a log flume need do the same. This could instead build to happy excitement, as opposed to existential dread and doom.
True but I think the ride would be better off with a change in tone at some point. It’s not just about the lack of suspense on the lift hill specifically but the fact that there is nothing to break up the romp through happy Town in general. I think this approach is better suited for rides that don’t have big thrilling moments. It’s also a bummer because this is just more of the same that Disney has been giving us. Think Frozen Ever After or BATB Tokyo. Disney is moving away from including anything dark/ scary/ macabre on its attractions so it’s upsetting to lose it somewhere else. TOT is now funny/ irreverent. They made Snow White less scary.
Also considering the pace you are going up that lift hill and the emotions riders are feeling its much easier to accomplish dread/ suspense then it is accomplish happiness/ jubilation. It's conflicting to attempt to have the rider feel happiness and joy when they are naturally feeling fear/excitement. The happiness/ joy/ sense of relief should come after the drop.
I get it. I just wanted to remind there are no rules.
Now if the old version of the hill works better than whatever the new version does, that can certainly be up for debate once we actually experience the story beats, and how the rides makes us feel.
The new hill could be different, joyous, and still work just as well as the old version, in its own way.
Water lilies have arrived. Hopefully they illuminate at night like the concept render suggested (probably).Photos from today! Notice anything new in the last one?

Must be rare Albino Frogs in Tiana's bayou.
