Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

[Disney Irish]

I’m probably not the first person to ask, but how would we feel about a separate thread where we actually talk about, like, what we’d like to see in the new ride, etc. I’m as bummed as anyone that the Br’ers are going away, but holy s*** this conversation is tiresome.

That's what this thread was suppose to be about when @Californian Elitist created it, but its devolved into this....

I mean...

It's Disney's fault.

But I've moved on.

If @Brer Panther or someone else would like to create a separate thread about Chambers and the other ideas and topics that have come from their posts, that would be best. This thread topic should stay as is. None of this Chambers nonsense. Take it to Twitter.

Getting this back on track, I actually am curious if Disney will stick something else PatF-themed near the ride. I’m nearly 100% sure there will be a gift shop, but does anyone have any bets on what else they may include in the area? And where?

I hear you. But it seems like we can’t have a general discussion about Tiana without all the ugliness creeping in.

The Briar Patch and Splashdown gifts as Bayou Boutique. Probably some Tiana stuff and some unique shirts for awhile, then generic princess things and eventually Avatar and Tomorrowland merch.

There is no side of pro-rethemers vs. anti-rethemers

I’m sure there are many who do indeed fall into these camps (especially the latter), but my position, like yours, defies such categorisation. I’m personally sad to be losing the current theme, but I also understand why it’s happening and am optimistic for the end result. It doesn’t help any of us, or the discussion here, to frame things in all-or-nothing terms.

Thank you. I don't understand how so many folks on here don't understand that more than one thing can be true at the same time and that you can have more than one emotion about something at the same time.

I am much like you.

I adore Splash, always have. But I also know PatF can be a worthy IP replacement, and I have to be optimistic that they will do it justice.

I also fully understand and accept why Disney is doing this.

Many thoughts, all held at the same time.

Especially when many of Disney's recent attractions (Runaway Railway, Ratatouille, the Guardians of the Galaxy ride at EPCOT) have been letdowns.

None are letdowns, all taste will vary but you will see very few people saying GOTG is bad despite being a poor fit

 

[Californian Elitist]

We should all do our best to ignore and discuss more about the future of this project.

What part of the ride do you think will feature the Salt Mines?

I don't know how serious I take the whole Salt Mines talk.....

 

[BuzzedPotatoHead89]

So you’re saying we should take the talk of salt mines with a grain of salt?

Couldn’t help myself.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Maybe we’ll dive into the salt mines, if something like that will even be in the ride.

Tianas place is long overdue for a Disney park, its theme would fit better in DL but DL already has several restaurants serving southern fare so I would put it in MK instead to add Beignets, Jambalaya, Gumbo, etc as another food option in the park.

Years ago there was imagineering artwork for a DL building that was half New Orleans / half frontier that would be a good compromise to help it fit.

Maybe do something similar with the Pecos Bills building, leave the western theme facing east and retheme the western “Mexican looking“ side to Tianas.

Found the site where I saw it…https://insightsandsounds.blogspot.com/2014/09/where-frontierland-meets-new-orleans.html

I like that site a lot!

No, but at least a hundred people online going on and on about what a great idea he had and how Disney should retheme Splash Mountain because it's racist is likely going to get someone at Disney to notice and realize "If we don't do this, we'll look bad for having a 'racist' attraction in the parks."

A couple hundred people . . . . . . didn't some 90,000 people sign a counter-petition to keep Splash Mountain as it is? And Disney ignored that because, as always, they do what they want and aren't swayed by petitions and random groups of people mouthing off on the internet?

At some point you have to grow up and get a clue. It's shocking that you're still going on about this.

Runaway Railway is a letdown mainly because it bulldozed a truly amazing and slightly educational AA showcase and replaced it with a shrill, obnoxious pile of screens and a design based on the worst, most mean-spirited rendition of Mickey & crew in the company’s history. By the time it opens at DL, those versions of the characters will be about as timely and relevant as… as…

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

While Runaway Railway shouldn’t have replaced Great Movie Ride, I find it very charming, sweet, and quite fun.

On a différent note, I’m going to stop reading this thread for awhile. Tiana’s is starting to show some promise, and I want to read about the ride and am no interested in the debates surrounding it.
