Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

Usually when I hear those quotes it's because nostalgiacs won't let go of something past it's time.

Well usually you re wrong haha

Too risky with the crumbling infrastructure and locked area. Nah, they can turn Frontierland into Arendale with Anna & Kristof's Sleigh Ride Adventure being the key attraction. Just retheme the trains, paint the mountain white, put an Elsa projection at the top of the 3rd lift hill, and we've got a magical brand new attraction to advertise with a princess meet and greet taking over the shooting gallery.

A disgusting thought

Another brilliant idea. And it solves the whole “Princess Tiana is out of place in Frontierland problem” at MK.

What Frontierland? Just hang a left at the end of Mickey Avenue and Arendelle awaits. Just look for Kristoff and Sven’s cabin at the entrance.

Erm. No.

As Bob Chapek would say “Ship this dude to Florida, but make sure he is aware he will pay his own way, we don't do relocation for those guys, we’ve got a future Imagineer on our hands!”

Fixed it to make it a more accurate Disney Executive Leadership quote.

I will say it doesn't seem like the best idea to turn thrill rides into Princess attractions. Even for Splash, kids will want to see Tiana but not be prepared for a plunge over the mountain. I'm thinking we'll get more of Louis and critters in the attraction and more meet and greet outside the mountain with Tiana, especially if she gets a restaurant.

Frozen in the Matterhorn would make more sense with the snow monster dude (whatever he is) and Arendale at the foot of the mountain (I'm looking at you, Subs lagoon and Autopia)

Lest we forget:

Matterhorn was a vague IP (Third Man on the Mountain)

Frontierland was basically Davy Crockettland

Jungle Cruise was basically *ride the movies* with The African Queen

Fantasyland was originally a mostly off the shelf carnival with carousel, themed spinners, and tricked out dark rides.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Absolutely not.

What television show was the Disney version of Davy Crockett from?

Credit where it’s due as a glass half full kinda guy, I fully agreed with this part of your statement.

Even though Splash has a low height requirement, it is is no way a ride that would appeal to the core Princess demo that they are going for with this retheme. I maybe wrong, but I don't think the portion of the general guests that like thrill rides is going to get that excited for a princess themed thrill ride. The best way to use the princess characters in thrill rides would be in villain themed rides.

One can make the argument that guests also weren't excited for a Song of the South thrill ride. The difference is that even though Splash Mountain takes elements of Song of the South, it isn't marketed as Song of the South The Ride, and it wasn't presented in a way that made it seem like it was intended for very young children.

This is one of the most uninformed descriptions of early Disneyland I've ever read...

The scary part is the powers that be would probably agree with him before they agree with us whether they truly believe it or not as it advances their agenda.

It's pretty spot on.

Really isn't.

IS SO

Far from it.

So is DL’s Splash going out with a bang or a whimper? Do you think they’d do anything to commemorate it at all?

Disney is going to take it out Old Yeller style with both barrels.

Disney usually does something to cash in on attractions that are about to be removed. I'd be very surprised if they leave money on the table. Expect exclusive merchandise and an up-charge event.
