News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[Suspirian]

my question is why draw the riders eye to a fence? is it to stop us looking at the logs coming down the drop? seems like an odd thing to focus on. the style again seems out of place with the style of art in the world of the film. it is incongruent with the graphic art that appears in the film.

as an attempt a a better mural i prompted Bing's AI to make one.

Looks awful 🩷

Sorry about the repeat pictures. I’m not sure what’s going on with my phone.

Coming along. Genuinely on edge of my seat. I wonder when we'll get an official update from Disney.

No think those people were just walking really really slow

Do I see Mamma Oodie at the top of the drop in that repeated picture? Looks like her dress but I can’t zoom in much.

I believe that’s just a construction worker on the scaffolding

It's this. Someone wearing a bright orange construction vest. Mama Odie's dress is white.

It becomes a blurry mess when I zoom in couldn’t tell if the orange was coming from a show light. Ok

Regardless, these each - individually and corporately - confirm my priors.

It would be really really strange if you could see Mama Odie from the esplanade... I am sure they would not do that...

I wonder how well the beignet smell will mix with the bromine smell.

I love the smell of bromide. I figured that was the one thing they couldn’t mess up… hopes dashed lol

This must be just some random frogs, which makes sense; not specifically Tiana and the Prince. I would imagine you'll see a lot of filler frogs on this ride.

Maybe they are wearing clothes? Looks like that to me. I was wondering if animals would wear clothing on this ride or not, since they dont wear clothes in the movie but the Splash animatronics wore clothing.

Also seems animals will be size relevant to one another is this world, whereas I felt like some animals were mismatched in their sizes on Splash (like the giant dancing chickens and geese)

At very first I thought these were on a ride vehicle, as if the brer rabbit carvings would be replaced by various frogs. I've been wondering if they'll just knock off the rabbit heads. Can't remember if both U.S. versions have the rabbit carvings.

Not sure if any of the critters in the ride will have clothes. One of the pieces of inspirational art they commissioned from Sharika Mahdi included clothed animal figures with distinctly Splash Mountain-y looking designs. Though I don't know if they're going to use these designs in the ride. The smaller critter band seen in one of the ride's pieces of art didn't have clothes. Just instruments. The larger critter figures (cats, bears, wolves etc) seen in another piece of art were silhouetted in shadow far into the background, can't tell if they have clothes.

The frogs out front aren't wearing clothes though, I believe they simply aren't fully painted yet. That looks like blue painters tape or something of the sort. They were present in both the Disneyland model and WDW render, though the design and pose they went with is more like the DL model-

All versions of Splash had the rabbit carvings. No idea if they'll use a new carving or just leave it empty. One would hope they add new carvings though.

Another thing I’d like to point out is the fact this concept piece is likely for what will be the finale of the attraction, considering Tiana’s Palace is present. It gives me hope seeing other animal figures present within this piece, I sure hope that means some of it will translate to the final product

They also don't talk, nor do rabbits, foxes, bears, frogs, or vultures. I know you hated Splash Mountain, but I think trying to bring realism into it is kind of silly.

More photos from today! The scaffolding is coming down so quickly these photos are already outdated. I'm going to go back later and get more photos before the storms roll in — my guess is they want all of this down before the storm so they don't have to worry about it falling over.
