They use him all the time. They didn’t use him here because they decided not to.

Those are options for the character's expression, not indicative of intended movement. The arrows on the diagram are there to show the intended motion for the character.

These drawings are accurate to the figure as built.

Probably best not to put too much stock into rumors, especially dramatic ones. If in fact there were some sort of incident it'll come to light soon enough. In the meantime let's not get ahead of ourselves.

It's worth remembering that the ride is in previews, not officially open. It's reasonable to expect they may still be fiddling with things, and already we've seen that they are. Now, that isn't to say we should expect everything people take issue with to be addressed, but they do still have...

Their website does not prove what you're suggesting it's proving.

Just noticed from a Youtube video that the Banner hanging outside right before the Finale seems to have been removed? The "To All Who Come To This Happy Place . . ." one. Not sure if this is temporary, but I would be more than fine with it not returning. EDITED To Add: Looks like someone...

Generally Magic Kingdom these days has sort of a "what-you-make-of-it" atmosphere - yes, it can get painfully crowded, and it's true that it isn't maintained *quite* like it used to be, but the classics are still there and there are reasons it's still so well attended. If your last trip to WDW...

The people who are spending hundreds or thousands of dollars to attend the D23 Expo are not doing it to boo Iger, they're doing it because of their love for Disney and what it has produced before. I'm sure many people walked out of that presentation and said "Really? THAT'S all we're getting...

Okay, so this takes some nuance. Pound for pound, yes, the Show Set Installation for Tiana's Bayou Adventure cost more for an install in an existing facility than it would for install in a facility that's being built new for the ride. Being able to control the workflow from scratch and not...

I don't disagree with that. My point is more that he doesn't personally approve every expenditure within the parks, but this was a case where he was more involved than normal. But yes, ultimately responsibility for keeping the ship right falls to him.

He is. Purportedly. By many. Doesn't have his nose in everything, but he has it where he wants to. Tiana's was one such place. We shouldn't pretend he drafted the scenery or painted the Animatronics, but he approved the spending and not blindly. Which is why the "Bob called it Boring!" story...

Leave? But then he came back, so.

These are understandable guesses, but not quite in line with the reality of the project. There was infrastructural work done, which included ride system and control updates, but these were accounted for with their own budget. There would have had to be some pretty massive issues with those...

Just because you may not know the scope doesn't mean that other people don't. The budget was more than healthy. Which is part of why the results are so perplexing. Handsome though some elements are. Didn't ignore anything, just hard to catch all the incoming messages while actively posting...

Bob Iger is not someone you can keep out of the loop - if he wants to know, he knows. In this particular case he felt the project was of particular significance and was more looped in than usual. As I've said before, he'd "ridden" the CG renderings of the attraction more than once in the DISH...

That's not quite correct - for a redesign of an existing attraction, the budget for Tiana's was more than healthy. Looking at rides like Rise, a scratch-build, and Cosmic Rewind, a new attraction partially making use of an existing facility but largely new construction, is not a fair point of...

I mean, yes, it was built, it clearly was approved. This is a major corportation with many layers of oversight. Are people thinking there was some sort of conceptual bait and switch here? That would not be a realistic assessment of how these things work.

Are you getting hung up on whether someone said "WOW"?? We can't know, man. But they don't tend to throw many, many millions of dollars at things they think are gonna tank, so like . . . yeah, it's somewhat implied that somewhere in the chain there was enthusiastic support for what was pitched.

Kinda seemed like it was:
