News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[GoneForGood]

The model is of the DLR version, which exists next to New Orleans Square, and has the water tower. The WDW version allegedly still has the boat on top, and no water tower.

The WDW version was the day/night CGI rendering in the video. It also had no tree with the boat.

WDW & DL will have the water tower. No one will have the boat.

Neither has a boat.

Still two years plus away, the typical situation would be the concept art vs reality will change again by the time it is done.

Indeed. There’s still time for budget overruns and budget cuts to combine giving us half of what is depicted at D23.

I stand corrected.

The sad thing is when they claim how long the retheme has been in the works(years before the announcement according to them) and the most exciting thing they can show everyone is art and a model depicting the same exact ride facade with the faux plant life changed and a water tower.

Also note, the text style signage on the water tower is not even the same from the concept art to the model art.

So every semester, I give my students a group project during week 2 that is due the last week of class (a presentation). There’s always at least one group that clearly does nothing for 12 weeks and then hastily slaps something together a few days before it is due.

This project feels like that. I hope they can pull it together in the end…

That is exactly what this is. This concept art also had the red tape to cross for corporate PR purposes and was what was "settled" on months ago. So many things can change from now until opening late late 2024, if it even makes that timeline.

PatF, the film, was clearly created to replace Splash. The film scenes are perfect to replace the sets, from the river boat to the animals at the forest wedding.

I mean…it’s in a swamp in the southeast. Same could be said for The Rescuers. Actually, the salt mine they chose would actually work BETTER if this were a Rescuers ride.

I should have Googled.

I think the funniest thing though is the model is of Disneylands but has the Magic Kingdom color. Well half of Magic Kingdoms colors since they painted half of it brown.

Hear me out… at Splash they would hand out ziploc bags… so at Bayou Adventure can they hand out beignets?

I hate when they value engineer things. For the concept art of the reimagined EPCOT, there was a space tether attached to 220 that went all the way up into space. But, they value engineered that away!!!1!

I dont understand why they are trying to make it look like Pandora at night, its like they are pushing so hard to make this pretty yet no substance. That kind of glowing look doesn't really fit frontierland. More lipstick....and no lips. I dont know.

The same glow/color scheme is in the movie poster.
