If that is all you want to take away from what I posted, ok. Lol.
Anyways, as I said before lets hope your prediction comes true so you can get something you want in this attraction.

Hahah ok thank you.
But it’s not just me. Many people would be happy and welcome this change.

Yup. I mean, it definitely does make it more approachable. Anticipation is always a huge part of fear. I don’t really agree with it (I think most kids can handle it) but I get how it happened.

If that was their reasoning they re more lost than I thought.

I mean they have been taking tension out of a lot of attractions over the last decade or so. So why is this that surprising?
Whether that makes them "lost" or not is debatable.

It’s surprising when you consider the 50 foot drop, the shoes it had to fill and the villain they omitted.

Sure when you only look at that specific attraction as a singular example. But put into the larger context of the Parks and what appears to be an on-going effort to tone down the tension in all attractions and its not surprising at all.

Just because it’s an ongoing effort, it doesn’t mean it makes sense to do on every attraction. And if we re talking toning down the scariness on existing attractions is that list not just basically Snow Whites Scary Adventures? A kiddie ride in the Fantasyland courtyard. Not the best comparison. Should a kiddie ride with no height restriction in the Fantasyland courtyard have the same set of expectations as a ride with a 50 foot drop?

Look, you're going to find fault in anything discussed here and I get that. So I'm just going to say it make sense on a whole why they made that decision as @DarkMetroid567 mentioned, whether one agrees with it for individual attractions or not.

I believe the people specifically working on TBA Adventure wanted to avoid using Facilier (as the whole aim of TBA was to be as inoffensive and uncontroversial as possible following Splash's closure), but that the Disney company as a whole has never abandoned him.

Lol no I’m going to continue using common sense

lol why are you liking this comment @Disney Irish ? Is it because it’s not me saying it? You are a trip man. lol
The company hasn’t built a villain climax ride since Rise opened. Everything since has avoided it (Celestrials are not villains, they are at work for the common good of the galaxy, even if Earth must be scarified) it’s getting quite tiresome. Randall, Ernesto and Thanos better be major parts of the new slate of rides.

Don't pull me into your feud, I'm innocent, lol.
Anyway I do hope Facilier gets added into the ride eventually. I think Tiana's Bayou Adventure is wasted potential in that the animatronics, music and atmosphere of the ride are great, but the Disney Jr.-esque story and lack of tension severely harms the overall ride. I think a TBA had the potential to be better than Splash Mountain, but that potential was squashed by a terrible no-stakes story. I think a revision of the plot with a true suspenseful climax on the lift hill could go a long way in redeeming the attraction for a lot of people.

Eh, I don’t think so. Again I think it was the wrong choice, but kids get freaked out by the tiniest things — common sense isn’t really a thing they have a lot of. Nor do kids really care about the “shoes” the ride had to fill.

Sure, common sense, like saying Disney "banished" Facilier all because they didn't include him in the attraction when he is still used elsewhere in the company.
I liked it because it basically what I've been saying in multiple posts. That the Disney company never actually "banished"/"cancelled" him even if they chose not to use him for the attraction.

u have kids?
Most would be far more scared of a 50 foot drop than Facilier’s shadow on the wall with “are you ready” playing in the background. The movie? They see all the time. The 50 foot drop? Probably new for a 5 year old. Let’s use our common sense people. I beg of you

Who used the word banished? We moving the goal post now? You know these games don’t work on me man.

Kids survived the suspenseful nature of the original Splash Mountain lift hill for more than 30 years. Overcoming the fear gave it a "rite of passage" aspect that I think TBA (in its current form) is lacking.
I think if they added Facilier (or any type of alternative suspense) to the ride, the fears kids would have would dissipate by the time the drop was over. The final "Joyful Celebration" sequence at the end (the one part of the ride I think is perfect), would be cheery enough to have them exiting Tiana's Bayou Adventure on a happy note.
