General Discussion of Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[MisterPenguin]

The construction in MK has it's own thread here:

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

This is the construction thread. I don't know why the backstory link was dropped here when it was also dropped in the general TBA discussion thread. I guess if you want to discuss how the backstory affects construction (how many AAs will this need?), it belongs here. And if one wants to give...

In one of the other TBA threads, someone asked how can you grow things in a salt dome.

The answer is that the domes are solid pillars that push up on the surface, or, the surrounding surface has weathered away.

In the case of pushing up, there will be plenty of regular earth and soil layered on top of the dome for plants to grow.

There won't be growing of plants *in* the salt dome. The salt dome gets mined which creates tunnels and giant halls lined with rock salt within the dome.

Disney should at least come out and admit WHY they're doing this.

Did we really need another thread on this ride?

That's a Gneiss description.

Why they replaced splash or why they are going to fail with its replacement?

Both.

Splash is being replaced, and the opinions pro and con have been voiced for months. Nothing is going to change that decision, so it's time to discuss its replacement only.

There is a thread for construction updates. This is a thread to discuss the theming, storyline, etc.

Please remember that politics and social commentary are still not allowed.

Thank you for clarifying, and duly noted.

It really does seem like this will be a bifurcated experience between the queue and the actual flume. I don't really see much connection between the co-op storyline and the singing animals that will populate the majority of the indoor portions of the ride. Or how Mama Odie factors at all into the "secret ingredient" storyline...before subsequently throwing you off a 50-foot cliff.

Remember folks, Imagineering gave a convoluted Prince Charming backstory to the carousel of all things. They love doing needless information dumps. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual ride portion only pays lip service to the complex salt mine/co-op plot.

salt (5x)

Missing: thrilling, drop, music, songs

It feels like they are trying hard to fit a square peg (convoluted storyline) into a round hole (pre-existing splash ride)

We just spent two years on why this is happening. Move on.

OK, then…this appears to be the only place I can post this…AFAIK…
The storyline is a contrived, convoluted pile of mush.
And, again, no matter how Disney tries to spin it, there isn’t anything that would even be considered a hill (much less a mountain) anywhere near NOLA, or the LA bayou.
Georgia, where Song of the South was set, has plenty of mountains, however.

 

[Brer Oswald]

WE KNOW WHY

Is it because Minnie kicked Pluto?

I think that's the purpose of the water tower....to do an inverse of forced perspective and make the mountain look shorter than it is.

Still holding out hope because there isn’t really an alternative anyway (acceptance lol) Flight of passage has a convoluted and contrived backstory and I still think that ride is super fun.

That’s really silly considering the whole hook of a log flume attraction (especially this one) is the tall drop.

We need to get with the program/narrative now, or have it pounded into our skulls…
Not mountain…repeat after me…salt dome, salt dome, SALT DOME…!!!!!

I've nothing else to say that hasn't already been discussed ad nauseam. See y'all here when new concept images or photos drop. My general disdain for this attraction overhaul continues.
