Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

[Disney Analyst]

You can make a major overhaul to the story with some new dialogue, swapping out the LP or at least half of the LP scenes (which is just 2-4 frogs, the awful Tiana CGI screen and bare minimal theming) and some Facilier / ghoul projections and music changes on the lifthill with Mama Odie saving the day up top.

Although the old HDYD scenes would still be underwhelming you don’t really have to change anything story wise. And you can kind of look past the fact that it’s underwhelming if the ride is building to something. But it’s hard to do when the ride just so monotone and essentially flat lines the whole time.

Put Tiana in her real dress at the end. And it should be Louis playing a riff for us at the end (preferably the intro to Human again) right before unload instead of Mama Odie.

I agree. Some new dialogue in them main sections is all that is really needed. Could add some more critters, etc.

Really the big change would be the LP / lift hill.

Wasn't part of why people said this was a good idea is that it was being developed alongside the D+ show, which was expected to revitalize the character and provide a new iteration of Tiana for the 2020's?

So I guess it's just been announced that they are abandoning the Tiana TV show, which I am genuinely bummed about. I thought the attraction was going to tie in, but I guess now we will never know.

It genuinely looked so cute, too... the promotional art looked super promising

They aren’t touching this ride. They will let it rot just like they did with Splash. Worse even.

Funnily enough, calling a man "charming" used to be a negative as it implied he was using black magic to bewitch someone.

He would go out tonight, but he hasn't got a stitch to wear.....

They’re doing a special with the same creators.

Me, too!!! All the promotional art for it was so cute!!!

just add dialogue where the first time you see Mama Odie she says be careful going back to the swamps cause bad things have been happening, do the same on the screen before the lament scene, then add in Facilier where Tiana and Louis screens are now. Add “Are you Ready?” To the lifthill. Easy fix. At least try it for a few months around Halloween and see how people react.

And open that can of worms when dealing with Facilier and his character being a racist strawman fabricated by white people trying to justify fear and distrust of Black Americans post-Civil War.

I have tried out the new overlay theme. Honestly it is adorable. But I prefer the former Splash Mountian. I still think Disney should have removed Pooh for Tiana.

They could have put all of the show scenes of Tiana into Winnie the Pooh.

It's not PERFECT, but it's pretty darn close! Despite retaining the stupid storyline, this version wouldn't have been as terrible because it wouldn't have been replacing an iconic attraction. It would have been replacing a terrible Winnie the Pooh attraction.

Crazy how the worst Pooh attraction still has more show scenes than this “new” “E-ticket”.

Yep, we'd go "It's not super amazing but it's a cute 10minute wait diversion"

Not "We lost what was among the best rides ever for this?"

Though losing Country Bears for Pooh was a crime.

I guess this is what happens when you only put one frog every 30 feet.

From the old Brer Bear butt drop into the Laughing Place through the top of the lifthill you have three small screens, one AA and four limited motion frog figures. That’s it.
