It's the same track as Splash. So it being "too short" is impossible. It's the same length.

Right...that's what I meant. That's the only thing holding nrj back and splash won't have that problem.

I do love NRJ, but if Tiana is exactly like NRJ it would be disappointing and feel like a downgrade from Splash. NRJ gets away with not having any AAs (other than the shaman at the end) because it's a C ticket, and because it wasn't replacing something that was full of AAs.
All indications are that Tiana will have plenty of AAs/other physical figures, though, so I don't think that's a concern, and using screens the way they're used in NRJ as a supplement to the physical sets would be just fine.

I don’t think it even does get away with it. Everyone I’ve ever been with has the same criticism of it.

To clarify, I meant the way it incorporates screens with physical sets.

I am sure it will be fine. Maybe "perfect" is the wrong word. As we all know, "perfect" is the enemy of "good".
They will open all will all will be good.
We all hope there wont be any failures days after opening like we saw in Moana and World celebration gardens.

It’s permanent, hence why it’s painted “Go Away Green”. I suspect they will string foliage on it.

They’re just waiting for Dollar Tree to put their spring decor on clearance. Thanks to the early Easter, it shouldn’t be much longer. You can also do amazing things with green pool noodles. They are the Magic.

As others have said, the railing is permanent, but I have heard there is an incredible firefly effect planned that's going to happen each time a log goes down the drop. Per @Disney Glimpses, there is electrical work being done, and I believe it's for that effect. They are going to add flora around the railing as seen in the model and that's what will react to the logs going down the drop.
I don't think anyone has actually seen a green pool noodle.

Im thinking like FEA but a little more fleshed out...What made the finale of splash so great was all the happy singing critters everywhere...and while we dont know exactly for sure, it sounds like its going to be more people character animatronics placed around being tianas palace instead of different fun singing critters and animals like before in the incredible swamp with riverboat....it just doesn't excite me by the sound of it, so far.

It does for me! I think NRJ is fantastic. Of course more AAs would be nice, but I think that pushes it to D or E ticket status and I don't believe it was intended as that. I actually enjoy it more than FoP -- FoP is still good, but after you've been on it a couple of times it lacks the immersion of NRJ (obviously YMMV here).
I'm also not sure animal AAs would work in practice because I think they're incredibly difficult to do well. They could have more Na'vi, but I feel like animals, especially when intended to be realistic (as opposed to cartoon animals like Splash), might actually detract from the experience because of the effect on suspension of disbelief. Just look at the Jungle Cruise AAs. While I'm sure they could build better animal AAs, that feels like it would again be pushing it towards E ticket budget/status.

I see all the little icons of noodles, but no green ones.

Fun, little-known fact: the Tree of Life was built with an oil rig and 147,354 green pool noodles.
Just because you don't see the green pool noodle doesn't mean the green pool noodle doesn't see you. Never let your guard down.

I am confused. The main image are green ones and among the selections are two shades of green, unless now we can argue what is the color green?
The clash between Down in New Orleans and the Frontierland music is pretty extreme. They couldn't do a bluegrass version of DINO, at the very least for the exterior loop?
