Great, we can scrap this whole idea then. Thanks for clearing things up.Tiana is already in the parks as part of princess meet and greets, etc.
Oh wait, nevermind Disney says that's not good enough.

It seems like a great idea. One that deserves its own attraction, built from the ground up that can truly showcase a great movie, princess and the frog. Not a shoehorned attraction that limits the creativeness right from the start. I think most people fully support a ride for Tiana and princess and the frog. It's how they are doing it that rubs people the wrong way.I get that it could be seen as corporate pandering and it is, but regardless including the first and only african american princess in a major way in the Florida parks seems like a good idea to me.
I'd argue it's more about getting another princess gift shop in the park.Tiana has been around for meet and greets since her movie premiered. It's also about getting rid of all references to Song of the South.Remember, changing the ride is not about getting the film in the parks. It is about getting Tiana in the Parks.
They’re only going to reskin the same animatronics and keep the same ride system. Reducing maintenance won’t work because they’ll keep breaking down/malfunction.Reduce maintenance
Most likely they will only reskin a handful because most will be ripped out. So if you only have a quarter of the AAs, maintenance is reduced. I would be shocked if they kept even half of the AAs.They’re only going to reskin the same animatronics and keep the same ride system.

I wouldn't say it is 100 percent that he won't be in the ride however since they are makeing it a sequel and Jim Cummings already mentioned he's not returning as Ray I think it's unlikely. Also Keith David hasn't been announced to be part of the ride. They could suprise us but it's unlikely.Are we 100% confident that Dr. Facilier will not be in the ride? I know all signs point to no (no mention of the voice actor returning, it being a sequel, etc), but I just cannot understand why they would leave him out. As others have said, people fell in love with Naveen, Faciler, Mama Odie, Ray, Lottie, etc. Not just Tiana. What if the new show is a a flop? Won't they have a another Star Wars Lands or FEA on their hands where some may view it as good but most would prefer it stuck to the original source material?
Plus announcing his return would only build hype for the ride, which they would definitely feel is necessary at this point.I wouldn't say it is 100 percent that he won't be in the ride however since they are makeing it a sequel and Jim Cummings already mentioned he's not returning as Ray I think it's unlikely.

With them committing to a post-PatF timeline, I think it doesn't look good for Dr. Facilier. Especially if they haven't announced Keith David, and Jim Cummings confirmed he's not coming back. The only way I could see Facilier coming back at this point would be in Shadow form, if they work in the shadow monsters from the film. I think we could see a Facilier shadow mixed in, but even that seems less likely as they seem to be moving away from the voodoo elements of the movie. Plus I don't think the shadows would work without the Shadow Man puppeting them.Are we 100% confident that Dr. Facilier will not be in the ride?

The Briar Patch?They've blocked off the segment of the remaining store with the register.
No, Splashdown Photo. The register separate from the photo area and the whole section of the store near it was blocked by a brown curtain.The Briar Patch?
That would make the retheme worse if they take away most of the AAs.Most likely they will only reskin a handful because most will be ripped out. So if you only have a quarter of the AAs, maintenance is reduced. I would be shocked if they kept even half of the AAs.
Not to be a smart aleck, but did you really think better is what they're going for?That would make the retheme worse if they take away most of the AAs.

They’re certainly going for something at least as good. Whether they succeed is another matter, but there’s no doubt they’re at least aiming for a ride that people will find impressive and enjoyable.Not to be a smart aleck, but did you really think better is what they're going for?
No, they’re shooting for cost effectiveness…FWIW, I’m expecting 1/2 to 2/3 less AA’s and several screens to make up the differenceI'm sure they're not actively trying to make it worse, even if that seems like the probable result to us.
