The ride layout is the same so the sense of adventure would come from the drops.

so believe it or not you guys, most rides at Disney do in fact have a cheesy dialog played while you wait in line!
Smugglers Run, Incredicoaster, guardians of the galaxy, etc.
You guys will take anything you can and run with it to bash this ride!

It should come from more than that.
It looks as though they have done beautiful work on this ride as I expected.
But they blew a tremendous opportunity by excluding excellent elements that were in the film.

What if the soul of the Shadow Man possesses a crane to do the unthinkable: steal Tiana’s 00 flour.

Wait, does Tiana have a New Orleans Employee-Owned Critter Co-op Pizzeria too?

No matter what they do to the theme, since it uses the same ride track this is still a fun a flume ride. The drop into the salt puddle will still be thrilling.

The only agenda I have is holding Disney attractions to a high standard. I'm sorry, but dialogue like that, especially delivered in such a Barney the Dinosaur-esque tone (which doesn't match the way Tiana sounds in the movie at all), does not meet the high bar that Disney has set for themselves.
This is a thread for discussion of the latest details and construction progress, and I have a right to state that this latest update on the construction progress does not measure up in my opinion.
Would you rather everyone just be endlessly positive about this ride? That doesn't seem very fair to me, but feel free to ignore anyone who posts anything you disagree with.

Yeah they just completed a hostile takeover of Pecos Bill Foods, Inc. so they can bring New Haven-style apizza to the good people of

The issue isn't mere difference of opinion.
Complaining that dialogue about looking for critters is reaching to be "relevant" absolutely reeks of an agenda, and that poster's past comments only suggest it further.
There are valid criticisms of those short bits of dialogue, but come on. Saying that they scan as "look how relevant we are!" really just isn't one of them and smacks of the poster's actual intentions.

I think the dialogue feels written for children. It feels, again, very "Let's explain what's going on so there's no doubt about every little plot point" instead of the, in my opinion, more re-ridable, old-fashioned style where you have to ride multiple times before you know everything happening, and even then you may not pick up on some of the side plots.
It's not a bad thing, but it feels very un-Disney.
Then again, who am I kidding? It's a classic Disney move these days.

The characters addressing guests is definitely a newer paradigm and not one I’m entirely sure I love. However, the general quality of these mere two lines of dialogue (which I can’t hear very well in the clip anyway and so will only judge based on the transcribed content) are not especially different from the audio in Splash.
You had:
“There goes that Br’er Rabbit, being chased by Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear.”
“Hah hah! You boys can’t catch me! My Laughin’ Place is where I’m bound.”
“Now’s our chance to set a trap for Br’er Rabbit. I’m gonna catch that Br’er Rabbit this time, for sure!”
I wonder if, hearing those clipped out, people would accuse them of being tell and not show in today’s climate of hyper criticism of every single shred of audiovisual information that comes out about this attraction. I don’t think people need to be positive about everything we see and hear (I know I’m not), but it would be nice if we could assess things without wanting to find fault in them from the start, setting the bar impossibly high based on the imagined quality of what was.

The tone of the scenes should be reflected by the ride layout. They should be in harmony with one another. That has been the case for the best Disney attractions.

Who WANTS to find fault in things? I want this attraction to knock my socks off. I want to be so completely wrong about it that I have to come on here and change my name to "Tiana's Foods Fan."
It seems like ANY criticism about this ride is presumed guilty of mal-intent. It's almost become a religion for some people on here to crucify those that criticize. If you disagree with what I'm saying, you don't have to engage with me. But this is a forum; if I'm doing something wrong by pointing out a valid criticism of the dialogue (from what we can hear so far), then there should be a disclaimer that dissidents must dispel with dissing Disney. (see what I did there?)
Also, are the sound levels just blaringly annoying in test mode for this thing?
Why can we hear it from the other side of this construction wall? Is there a diegetic source?
Or is this an awkward themed delay announcement without any context to tell people that is what it is.

Absolutely. This just in combination with the signs and the mural and stuff, there are just a few things that feel like a miss.
For one, the barn looks horrible. The signs also don't look great. The truck looks great but it looks new, it doesn't look aged or from 1927. Plus the banner just doesn't fit. I don't know. I very much look forward to riding and I love the facade but I just can't be positive about the graphics.

Discussion forums are for discussion.... If you want an endlessly gushing promotional marketing forum, Disney owns one of those and of you offer any opinion other than how wonderful everything is, then the comment is removed. I like that we can actually talk about the good and the bad here....
You are confusing exposition context with show don't tell situations.
Your quotes from Splash Mountain are also spoken by single characters at a time, not forced dialogue of four sentences or so between two.
This is very lazy writing, and honestly, the delivery specifically is pretty disappointing considering these are the film performers, and I think plays a part into what makes it seem so lousy. Forced.

I don’t understand it, but that is definitely the attitude people have about this and some other attractions.
I criticize things myself. As you said, this is a forum. If you want to be ignored, write it in your diary. Otherwise, people will discuss why they think your criticisms do or don’t have a valid basis.
It’s probably a combination of it being louder than normal for testing and the fact that the radio station audio for the queue isn’t running yet.
