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

[LittleBuford]

Me waiting for people to clear off to the other Tiana thread so we can discuss construction ( as said in the opening post )

There is no "other Tiana thread", only one about the end of Splash Mountain. Again, I'm not sure how discussing the design of the construction walls somehow contravenes the topic of a thread dedicated to, well, the new ride's construction.

Did I specifically quote you ?

I didn't say you did, nor did I take it personally, since I'm not the only person here discussing the signs. I took you to be referring to the sign discussion, but if I'm mistaken and you meant something else, I will gladly apologise for my misunderstanding.

 

[LittleBuford]

That’s funny, because to me, it sort of comes across as 1970-ish? I don’t know… I cannot imagine whoever designed this didn’t do at least a little homework to see what fits the era.

I can definitely see why you're getting a '70s vibe. And I'd hope your closing sentiment is true, though even if it is the case that the design is based on something legitimately from the 1920s, such accuracy doesn't mean much if it doesn't successfully evoke the time period in the eyes of the audience.

IMO, it's very 90s signage, color wise, which is interesting because they are getting rid of that style across the entire property. I consider it more of a mature version of Art Deco. Even Splash's sign fit this style with the purple / red / blue color palette. Which, hey I'm all for anything which contrasts the boring "Apple store" look that Disney has been updating Resort wide.

What makes it seem to be 21st-century? The colors? The design? (Not being argumentative, just interested in discussing!)
I think the typefaces they used are c.1920s.

Maybe that is what is going into the Briar Patch gift shop........

That the signage and theming doesn’t fit the time period and feels lazy is entirely in keeping with their other prominent remake of another attraction set in roughly the same era

The aesthetic looks to my eyes very '90s, while the wording and branding strike me as even more recent, which is why I find the overall vibe very twenty-first century. For me at least, absolutely nothing about this sign evokes the 1920s. And that has me deeply worried about the ride itself.

I really agree, especially the colors. It's giving mid-90s TTC for me.

If I saw a sign that said “Tiana’s Foods” where SM was and I didn’t know better then I would assume that they’d be replacing it with a restaurant. So confusing

Maybe there will be a restaurant in the ride area, something like the Blue Bayou restaurant at DLR Pirates? Probably not, but that could be a very interesting change.

So will, those very few clueless, guests be happy or disappointed when they dixcover Tiannas is a ride and not a restaurant.

Tough crowd, objecting to signage.
This is a construction thread. It should be clear from the construction a ride is being rebuilt.

I guess this crowd would have preferred blank walls.

I'm sure it's not a coincidence that those are also the colors of Mardi Gras.

Awful lot of gatekeepers in here wanting to greatly limit what constitutes “construction” so it cuts off any criticism of what we’re seeing being constructed.

I prefer my walls adorned with non-Walt Waltisms....

News - Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

Any guesses on what the new name of the exit gift shop (previously known as "Splashdown Photos" ) and The Briar Patch will be ? They have never mentioned those in any announcement. Tiana Merchandise Activation #1 & #2? Just kidding but I’m sure they’ll come up with something creative PatF related

This is a Tiana thread, look her name is even in the title!

Good point! I honestly didn't even consider that.

It's just wild how it almost exactly matches TTC's former look.

As I said yesterday, I’d prefer not to keep that thread going; it comes with too much baggage and is not forward-looking.

I would have used the report post if I was really bothered.
I find it amusing how a construction thread is twisting.

Discussions of the font used by the signs. Lol

The major construction is inside. Maybe more like an extensive remodeling. We won't really know much until inside work is well underway and pictures are leaked. When we find out how many, and what kind of, amnitronic figures are being used.

I used to be against the new theming, until I realized the alternative is the next generation CoP and SE.

Have a Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah day.

If they were smart (they’re not), they would turn that area on the other side of the tracks where the gift shop was into New Orleans style facades with a restaurant and a shop at least. And an indoor queue.

The other thread will be a good place to discuss the various differences, pros/cons, and other comparisons to the old vs new once TBA is up and running
