I thought you meant to say where. My badI am aware that there are rumors. I was sort of hinting that there still are.

The exterior before passing under the train station is all remote bayou. It doesn’t need complementary New Orleans elements surrounding it any more than Splash needed scenery from elsewhere in Georgia framing it. That’s not to suggest that Pecos Bill will be around long term, but it’s been a southwestern restaurant sandwiched between southeastern attractions (Country Bears and Splash) for a long time.The one thing I am very curious about is how they retcon TBA right in the middle of what is Frontierland. That area is a thematic mess. I know similar could be said about Splash being next to BTM and the rest of Frontierland. This is more egregious though. I would be fine if they were creating some sort of mini New Orleans area, but I haven’t heard that at all.
I like when a ‘land’ defined and held together by cohesive themes remains as such. I also know that Disney has their reasons why they felt Splash had to go away. However, this addition in Frontierland just makes no sense thematically.
“East? I thought you said Weast!”I thought you meant to say where. My bad
Thank goodness they made a better poster. A few weeks ago I felt this was one of the elements of the attraction they were lacking on. The initial “official” poster is horrible. This looks like something worth framing and has a lot more detail to itThe attraction posted has been placed in the railroad station breezeway. Photo from the site that shall not be named. Nobody else has it as of now that I can find.

My best guess whatever company they use to make merchandise probably reused the Splash Mountain molds for the log since the ride vehicle outside of Brer Rabbit being there is the same. It's cheaper to reuse that. Also keep in mind the original model showing of what Tianas Bayou Adventure would look like did have Brer Rabbit still on the logs. Toys are made so far in advance they could have used that as a reference.Thank goodness they made a better poster.

Now if only they’d address why some of the merch items still have Brer Rabbit on the front of the log…like why would they let that slide?
Planning on a follow up as I have ridden it more since my first ride on Wednesday. It has definitely grown on me. The music throughout the attraction is excellent. And the awkward timing issues were not an issue this time, making the movements and actions of the A1000s much better. And the screens, especially of Mama Odie, have to be some of the most crisp, clear screens I have seen.While Tiana is no Penguin Trek coaster at SeaWorld, the third of three coasters built in the last three years at SeaWorld, Tiana was, is, and always will be a fun log flume
Disney has put out a new lyric video for Special Spice.
I kind of prefer the old poster. Its not perfect by all means, but the new one looks like the cover of a children's book rather than an attraction poster. Its over-produced.Do we think they actually listened to feedback for once? This poster was unanimously hated when they first revealed it, even by some of the more hardcore defenders of the ride. I typically don't agree with the "it was supposed to be bad until they received backlash" comments, but in this particular instance I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually what happened. Good on them for making it right.
Are you referring to this?There are a few members on this board, such as Marni, who have stated that the reception was not nearly as positive as they had hoped.
Just checked the Disney video again. The comments are getting even worse if that’s somehow possible.
They need to pull the video, this is going to start to be a massive PR hit.
I notice some bots there also ( you can tell because the comments are all similar followed by a string of emojis ) but they can’t keep up with the outpouring of anger and negativity.
Best thing Disney can do now is pull everything and pretend all is well.
Too late…
The criticism is not universal
It isn’t, but it’s a lot more than expected.

Nope, this was before the thunderstorms. I took this picture after getting off the ride. We waited less than 10 minutes to get on.The queue is empty because there is no stand by. It may have just come back up after weather or an extended downtime, etc.
Ridiculously stupid that they cant let the general public into this when its designed to handle it, there is a management problem.View attachment 800378
