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 The scaffolding is coming down so quickly these photos are already outdated.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.
Alright. I'll admit, looks better without the scaffold cluttering up the area.

Or someone accidentally power washes it.
My friend just sent me this. Tower is up at DL

All white background at Disneyland vs. only white text at WDW. I like WDW's better.

Oh that IS interesting. Nice catch. Perhaps there will be very slight and subtle differences on DL's exterior, just to differentiate?

Same. While not by much, it feels slightly more noticeable and easier to read with the white lettering on the brown bg. Now, if only the "employee owned" part was harder to see...

Team Disneyland over here but I agree with you. Official score:
WDW 1
DL 0
However if we can avoid a mural or two we leap frog you haha. No pun intended.
oh wait. There's the whole placement thing. Never mind the game is already over lol

Tiara Tower even being there is a net loss.

DL has a silver tiara, while WDW has a gold. I'm glad there are differences, just like the previous ride which I am definitely not comparing this to in a negative light.

Slightly off topic of construction, but do we think they are going to do VQ and ILL for this at Magic Kingdom? That would mean 2 VQs and 3 ILLs in one park (assuming they don’t take Tron and Mine Train off their respective slots) which would be a first for Disney.

I feel like there was a systemic issue which limited their ability to have multiple VQs at once. I have no doubt they won’t be able to “give away” the SDMT ILL$$, so could see them keeping multiple ILLs open
I think it is a certainty that we will sere VQ and ILL. I expect to see TRON drop off the VQ at that point.
