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

[Smiley/OCD]

He's obviously not staying on the ride vehicles, it was just an oversight by whoever 3D printed the ride vehicles for the model.

I OBVIOUSLY know that, my point was that the other “inclusionary” details were mentioned and pointed out ad nauseam but yet the ONE glaring detail that isn’t on one weather vane but multiple ride vehicles was neglected to be deleted off all art…bad optics and someone dropped the ball…

There are no "balls dropped" unless the finished product has mistakes/issues.

Hehe he said balls.

They should've kept the weathervane IMO, it would've been a cute little easter egg/nod to what formally resided there but I guess we can't have nice things.

Maybe it is being refurbished and will return at the end.......

I hope so, but considering they seem to have replaced it with something else, it doesn't seem likely.

Hello, I hope everyone is feeling well and had a magical Christmas… I have been extremely busy and haven’t been to the forms recently, so I don’t really have time to look over the entire thread but… The image that they released of inside splash mountain or should I say Tiana’s Bayou adventure… With that little shack have we figured out that location is that in the finale where the boat used to be or is it in the area where you used to see bare, fox, and bare, bear, chasing rare rabbit on a projection screen… You know with the little rabbits sweeping up the porch out front thank you in advance

Maybe they gave it to Tony....

Has Disney mentioned anything more about a Tiana's "teaching kitchen" -- Is it to be a scene within the attraction or a M&G side-attraction itself? Or am I just getting worked up over a big nothing burger of bad ad copy in the original parks blog.

This post and a few below it posited the location.

If it’s not making a return (the likely outcome), giving it to him would be a great choice…that and the “Gone for good” sign in my avatar…

My best guess is that it's going where the Briar Patch store used to lie.

Actually the Shack is right after where Br’er Frog would be lounging on Br’er Gator's back. The tree that Gator was on lines up exactly.

And the second clip is just down the river, right before you encountered Br’er Roadrunner on Splash. The ledge/houses Roadrunner stood on is still present, albeit redressed.

But then where will they sell all the Tiana merchandise that this attraction is going to make so popular?

Oh, right, in every other gift shop in the park...

I have many reasons to believe this will be a hit! Maybe even a classic in the making. I can't wait to experience it. And yeah, there doesn't seem to be any plans for a New Orleans area. I love Disneyland's NOS so hopefully MK eventually gets it's own. However, the next thing in the cards for MK is what lies beyond Big Thunder Mountain. And apparently they're dreaming big!!

And one last thing, Mickey Views seems like a nice young guy, but in his video he kept saying the ride has 17 animatronics and that's not true. Also, I highly doubt his story about Iger, but that's just me.

Dreaming being the operative word....

Just spoke with someone in the know...I don't often claim this, but I actually spoke to someone with firsthand knowledge (see discussion of when TRON was going to open if you don't believe my source's track record).

• The missing ingredient is NOT "us" but they wouldn't tell me what it is.
• The story about Iger visiting and not understanding the story of the ride is true and management started scrambling to make changes...even after the attraction had already been have constructed, much to the chagrin of those working on the ride. Some of Iger's confusion had to do with what the secret ingredient is.
• There is no Dr. Facilier on the ride, but there could have been with the plot they have.

Heard this from someone who has connections inside the development process and has no allegiance to Splash or anything like that.

I don't speak to this person often and they cannot share very much.

Makes sense that his issue was story related and that the CEO of Disney was smart enough to account for the fact there were no AAs, competed sets etc. He probably walked through that boring drama free story about a missing ingredient and thought “what the heck is this?”
