I don’t think I used the term value engineering to describe that but if I did it was the wrong term to use. My original point to which I’ve been corrected was that there could be cost savings in reusing the engineering and design from past AA. That apparently is wrong based on how AAs are designed and built.
I don't think the AA hair a "mom-hairdo", as period appropriate for the late 1920s, or even the early 1930s (if it happens to fall into that period).
I googled "1920's Hairstyles" and this was literally the first image that came up:
I've never made claims or even inferred to be of any authority regard Disney inside information. All information I have is provided by Disney themselves in their own blogs.
This has literally been said by myself and others in the DL Tiana thread.

I'm still against this retheme happening at all and remain doubtful that it will ever live up to what it's replacing. This isn't based on information told to me though, it's just because I have such a high opinion of the predecessor and it's hard to imagine that modern WDI has the talent to pull off a suitable replacement. My source however believes there's a good chance of this ride turning out really well and potentially serving as a worthy replacement for Splash (and they share my opinions of Splash and are also against the retheme).
On the contrary, there are several people who refuse to acknowledge anything positive about this retheme. Most posters who can generally find good things to say about what we've seen so far still express reservations about elements that look dubious at the moment, like the murals, the cheugy text on the back of the watertower, the lack of certain characters in the known narrative, etc. By contrast, there are people who, without resorting to exaggeration, only come into this thread to post negatively about every bit of new information regardless of what it is.

I'm patiently waiting hoping to get a video of a log test.
Edit: I just peeked through the mesh and water is running behind the construction walls too. Unfortunately I can't get a photo of it but everything is testing right now, besides logs, so far...
Happy to! This is the closest I have ever followed a new ride and this is the perfect place to share updates. I was hoping the shirt would bring some good luck tonight, but nothing so far, unfortunately.
what was the announcement? Was it an announcement in the construction site or the park?
I’m keeping an eye out myself lol
Sorry, I just saw this, but it was an announcement for the Imagineers on-site when they sent the log out of the load station. There was someone at the top of the 50-foot drop with a flashlight making sure the track was clear, and another person walking the track at the splashdown area.
