NEW Smoking Settler's Cabin (Formerly Burning) as Seen from Liberty Belle Riverboat

[Lucky]

Whilst the effect needs some serious reworking there's no doubt about that, I think people should be somewhat happy that some work has been done on it when they could have done nothing or removed the cabin entirely.

Or stopped running the Riverboat so nobody could see the downgrade?

I agree that this smoke effect is just pathetic.

Actually, it's more like a fogging cabin - smoke is not heavier than air, as this stuff is.

So I guess the backstory is that the cabin is filled with ice and being used to store fresh meat or something.

That looks more like a steam pipe broke than smoke coming from a fire. If they don't want to do flames, then fine but at least have the smoke billowing out of all of the holes in the cabin.

This is just in!

Disney has announced that Oaken (yoohoo) has just moved his famous sauna from the Kingdom of Arendelle to the deep forests of Frontierland!

It's all part of Frozen Summer Fun at The Magic Kingdom!

You, sir, just made me spit out my water.

I give it a month or two and it will not be working or minimally working.

I know I'm not supposed to badmouth Disney on these here forums but I have to say; That Settler's Cabin is awful. I take back what I said earlier. Having watched the video a few times I've decided that nothing in this case WOULD be better. As is, I've seen better effects crafted by DIY'ers around Halloween. Put that in your cabin and smoke it.

Smoke effect on the cabin actually looks pretty good if you turn on rotation lock on your ipad and turn it upside down to watch it.

At least they are trying something, since they don't seem to be interested in trying to find where the breaks in the gas line that originally fed the fire are, its better than nothing I guess

No, it's not.

I suggest you do some research on disneylands burning cabin.

Ok I did. It appears to be a static cabin with some scenery and some piped in horse noises. I think it is just as interesting as WDW's. So what's your point?

Likewise Tokyo Disneyland's version is the same as the current WDW one just with more smoke as it should be. (3:08)



Anyway, I'd like to point out to people that this is a forum where people with different opinions are going to come and voice them. If you hate the new effect then fine, if you love it then fine as well. But there are people here who are trying to force their opinions on others since they disagree which is ridiculous. Do you like Skittles candy? What? you do?! Well you're an idiot then because I hate them and you will hate them too whether you like it or not. And this is how it is coming across.

They should light the fire back up in the cabin and light the forests of the Chakranadi river back up in AK.

 

[Castle Cake Apologist]

Considering the cabin has sat for the better part of a decade with no effect whatsoever, I'd hardly say it's "defending mediocrity" to think that this is better than that. Nobody is saying that they would rather have this than the burning cabin.

Perhaps this is not the final product. The fact that Disney thought to do anything at all with the cabin after ten years is noteworthy. You could barely even see it the last few years from all the growth.

I said do some research... not just find out what it is... *facepalm*

I'll point you to the Cliff Notes Guide to the Settler's Cabin history

Not covered in yesterland is the constant slams Disney has gotten with the repetitive crappy attempts to scrub and cut out the effects of the show.

You can disagree without tossing around insults and snide comments - or telling others how they should feel. Thank you.

If the flame effect was expensive and ecologically irresponsible, then why not refurbish the cabin, in a manner similar to Disneyland's, and have it be occupied?

 

[Unplugged]

Watch it carefully. I don't think it's even smoke. It looks like one of the new piezoelectric water vapor mists. Now they not only don't have to pay for gas, smoke fluid, etc., but the water in the river is completely free. Only a little electricity to make it mist, uh, I mean "smoke".

If they're going to use the vapor for smoke, come on.....at least as others have said, make it come out the larger holes int he roof and use a fan to drive it up a bit. Perhaps even use flickering red/yellow/orange LED spots in the vapor to give it a flaming look as the sun sets or something. Can still be ECO-tainment with a touch more effort to try to fool us.

Sadly, an imagineer likely thinks he/she successfully plussed this cabin. :-(

As long as this thread continues to be negative, I'm gonna chime in again and say that this effect won't last too long.

I give it six months, it will then be followed up by the addition of a strobe light and fan.

There... Someone had to do it.
