News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[mickEblu]

Dig a little deeper is a little bit of a long song so that’s why I thought that.

As for “When We’re Human” it’s a fine song but an odd choice if true. Are we not already human? Is it because she shrunk us down? Kinda confused by this one such a weird choice at least looking at it from the limited information we do have.

Not if we’ve been shrunk down into a frogs. Also it’s very upbeat and follows Gonna take your there nicely.

Hmm now that’s a good point I hadn’t considered we get turned into frogs. That’s interesting and makes more sense. I thought she merely shrunk us down to be critter size. If this is true I wonder how they show the shrinking/changing into frogs effect. Maybe a screen on the way down or some of that bayou magic mist stuff they were talking about?

Nobody has specifically said frogs but it makes sense to me. That would seem like a good spot to have a frog tie in considering the source material. Yeah LP are the scenes rumored to be the most screen heavy. I remember hearing about mist as well.

 

[Surferboy567]

I don’t believe this is accurate. I think DALD will replace LP and “Almost There”(with rewritten lyrics) will play during the finale.

If @Drew the Disney Dude is correct about Dig a Little Deeper in the lift hill then we know this inaccurate. I’d also be shocked if they didn’t play almost there in the attraction.

Before that post from Splash Archives, I hadn’t heard anything about WWH being featured in the ride, but it kinda makes sense? Tiana, Louis, and Naveen are the three PatF characters who will be in the bayou, and those are the characters and setting for that song in the film.

I was under the impression DALD would play for the entire Laughin Place segment through the lift hill, but that does feel rather long, so that section could very well be split between two songs.

It could also make sense why there is a 50ft plunge. It’s maybe because we are getting bigger from being frogs.

Just had a thought about a possible transformation scene. Maybe it’s like the scene in Ariel’s Undersea Adventure where she is getting her human legs.

EDIT: It was always weird the distinct lack of frogs in the Princess and the Frog ride. So this would be a way to remedy it be a sequel and let us relive the movie so to speak. They can have their cake and eat it to.

It makes sense if we are frogs as @mickEblu has said. Any other way not sure that it makes sense but would have to see. Could be see weird Odie magic or something.

Dig a little deeper (great abbreviation by the way) is a longer song and would build anticipation for the drop. It could really go both ways. Like I said before, I’m pretty sure that Splash Archives track listing is inaccurate if @Drew the Disney Dude is correct. It could really go either way. They could also just repeat the song in the finale. If they played it though for the entire Laughin Place and hill then that maybe too much.

One thing I hadn't considered regarding the shrinking rumor potentially being accurate, but this inspirational artwork could make a lot more sense in that context-

Granted I don't actually know if any variant of this scene would appear in the final ride. But it provides the opportunity to create some larger than life frog figures (perhaps closer in size to the Brer Frog figures from Splash Mtn), and even scale up the fireflies into proper figures instead of being otherwise relegated to tiny dots of light. So it would make sense.

Incidentally, I should mention that prior to the shrinking rumors, Splash Archive claimed that the scene depicted in this piece of art would be located in the bottom level of the Laughing Place (and they would be reusing the boat prop that was occupied by a dog figure in DL's Splash)-

If Alicia's claims about the shrinking are correct however (and i'll reiterate that she is no longer alone in this claim), this scene wouldn't really fit there anymore since it depicts normal sized characters. So it would make more sense for it to be on the upper levels. People were originally theorizing that it would be located in the place where Brer Bear was suspended by a rope trap at DL. That is to say, IF this scene even makes it in the ride at all (I also still wonder if the two versions of the ride will have substantially different scenes). But given the mixed up claims being reported, I don't know for sure who will end up being right.

I get this is concept art and is exaggerated something I just thought of looking at this art is that the whole room is flooded. It’s not like splash where there is supposed to be a mountain on both sides of you and flooring for the characters to stand on. This is a bayou surrounded by well…water. Wonder if they would try and illustrate that in some way. They probably just did this for the art, but something interesting.

As for the Tiana scene it only makes sense to be where “How do you do” was at least in my opinion.

There are a couple of scenes in WDW's Splash that had "flooded" areas. A bit at the beginning where the fishing geese were, then later where Brer Gator and Frog are fishing. And then the large flooded cavern in the lowest level of the Laughing Place. The Riverboat Finale too of course, but it's a given that this isn't where these scenes would go. The Laughing Place cavern in particular would be a fairly fitting candidate for that art of the frogs and fireflies. Especially if we shrink down. I think it would be quite feasible to create something similar to that inspiration artwork down there. But i'm just speculating here. Again, Archive claimed that this area was where Tiana/Naveen in the boat would be located, whereas Alicia Stella's claims effectively contradict that. Remains to be seen who is correct.

DL's Splash had more flooded areas than WDW. I agree that the Tiana scene in the boat made the most sense in How Do You Do. I always just assumed it would be somewhere around there. But that's just me speculating and agreeing with the logic behind everyone else's speculation. I really don't know where this scene would be located, or if it's even still going to be in the ride at all. This is the exact location that many people suspected it would go in at DL at least-

The scene structure is quite a bit different at WDW though. This particular scene is further along and on the opposite side at WDW. And it's on dry land, not flooded.

GotG has lots of thrills similar to the log drop and it's immensely enjoyable (to me) as a ride that doesn't tease you with a dread drop but boogies woogies through it all. Lotsa fun.

And that's why Mission BO doesn't work for me. TOT was designed to be scary and the party atmosphere doesn't match what our bodies are programmed to feel.

Drops are scary. That's the thrill. Splash was designed to have that drop be scary. Trying to force it not to be is a mistake to me.

I feel as though the people, regardless of whether or not I agree with their takes, should be allowed to take note and criticism of the various aspects of the attraction as they come out.

To add to this, this is a discussion forum. Where discussion happens. What is the point of this forum if it’s just for construction updates. I get that on Twitter. This is where we criticize what is happening with the attraction, positive and negative.

There’s a separate thread for discussion and criticism. This is the more factual and construction updates thread. There’s room for both, and some people find the construction phase interesting.

This isn’t what the @The Mom said yesterday. According to her clarification, relevant criticism is perfectly fine here:

Saying that you don't like something that you have seen is OK. The speculating about how you won't like something you haven't (or anyone hasn't) seen, or the constant comparison of what is versus what was, is not OK.

 

[pigglewiggle]

My take on the lift - if anyone is like me, whether the story elicits fear or excitement, I spend the whole ride pretty much just knowing there is a giant drop at the end.

I scare myself just fine.

I was shocked at how well Mission: Breakout worked. I wanted to hate it since I’m obviously a ToT fan, but it was so much fun. So is Cosmic Rewind. I guess GotG lends itself to fun thrill rides.

 

[Drdcm]

Dig a little deeper for the lift hill isn’t really what I imagined, but I can't really be surprised since that’s obviously where mama odi comes into play.

I was hoping the ride itself would have new music though. the soundtrack I think is important and I don’t really want it to be a rehash of the movie music. Oh well

 

[Surferboy567]

It’s also worth noting that @Drew the Disney Dude said that it sounded like a new version of the song for the lift made specifically for this attraction.

I did, but it was so faint at the base of the lift, it's very hard to know for sure if it is original or not. At the same time though, I also feel an original rendition could line up with Jenifer Lewis coming back to record new lines. Yes, she obviously recorded new lines, but if you already have a talent of that level, I feel a new version of a song to fit the ride you're spending hundreds of millions on wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.

 

[Brer Oswald]

The lift was meant to do that, on the previous version of this ride.

There is no rule saying that any other version of a log flume need do the same. This could instead build to happy excitement, as opposed to existential dread and doom.

It’s reusing a track with a very specific “design intent”. They didn’t choose drops, bends, and lifts all Willy nilly with the original.
