At the very least, the logs move much faster in the DL version, so guests won't have as much time to notice broken animatronics or the silly story.
Tiana's Xtreme Logging Adventure confirmed.

Tacky and classless, whoever it was.I just attended a media event for a high profile tourist experience with celebrities and several political big wigs in attendance ( not naming it to protect the individual) but the invited Headliner comic met someone from Disney management in the crowd and proceeded to slay them on Epcot's fumbled redo and he then ripped Tiana's calling it Tiana's Barnfire A*ortion saying that it was thrown together from left over Chucky Cheese props and Spirit Halloween effects. The crowd all laughed and cheered when he roasted it. It seems Disney's fumbling of this is pretty universal at this point.
Roasting big wigs is a big part of industry events.Tacky and classless, whoever it was.
This is egregiously bad too as today's a day where we didn't have any rain. Today was the day NOT to have this happen.7 hours of total downtime today. Just the latest continuing example of a day in which the ride was down just as much as it was up.
They can’t fix this thing and they can’t shut it down for an extended refurbishment so soon, so they’re just going to let it limp along and get progressively worse and downplay any vocal complaints about these problems.
This was so predictable. Shame on the shills who gaslighted anyone critical of this mess.
Congratulations Disney you built a mediocre attraction Bravo!
One can only hope DL's version isn't as pitiful in terms of operation.7 hours of total downtime today. Just the latest continuing example of a day in which the ride was down just as much as it was up.

FEA is a very apt comparison. Both rides are enjoyable but had rough openings and are objectively not as good as what they replaced.This attraction’s opening reminds me of FEA in so many ways. I wasn’t following the opening of FEA very closely, but I remember there being substantial downtime and ride evacs early on. I don’t know what changed to get the ride more reliable, but hopefully they can fix it soon! It’s very disappointing when you plan to experience a new attraction on a (very expensive) vacation but don’t get that opportunity.
The problem with TBA is that they are unable or unwilling to fix it at this point.FEA is a very apt comparison. Both rides are enjoyable but had rough openings and are objectively not as good as what they replaced.
IIRC it took them a while to fix FEA too. Within a couple months they’ll fine tune it.The problem with TBA is that they are unable or unwilling to fix it at this point.
Unable because the problem can not be resolved without extended downtime.
Unwilling because shutting it down for a month or more would be a tremendous embarrassment.
Ironically I think more guests would be less critical of an unplanned refurbishment to get it working properly, than to have it breakdown for half the day on a constant basis.
But I guess that would bruise some pretty inflated egos at the company.
BTM is planned to be closing for an extended refurbishment imminently. TBA as a new ride was unlikely to close this winter. Without TBA you have an entire land without a major attraction and a severe hit to capacity.The way I see it, they have two options -
A. Shut down TBA less than a month after opening it to fix the bugs
B. Wait until winter (when they would usually refurbish Splash) to take it down and fix it then.
The issue becomes, do they admit their new ride can't function properly when the old one worked (admittedly less so at the end), or let it close multiple times a day for a good chunk of its debut season?
I completely forgot they're planning on closing Big Thunder. That'll be disasterous for Frontierland if Bayou can't operate for a full day and BTMRR is down.BTM is planned to be closing for an extended refurbishment imminently.

They've painted themselves into a corner in terms of what they can do.
What a bad look and total fail for Disney7 hours of total downtime today. Just the latest continuing example of a day in which the ride was down just as much as it was up.
