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

[_caleb]

Maybe the entire model is a placeholder for something good.

“Insert good, cheap ride here.”

I don't like the signage or the crown on the water tower (the tower itself is passable but not great). I really hope they make some changes to this design before they implement it.

The boat was so much better.

 

[EagleScout610]

I wonder if they're actually gonna leave that corner of the Mountain untouched.

The boat was so much better.

I didn’t care for the boat but I would have been fine with the tree. Much better than what we saw at D23

I just wanna know how many employee-owner animatronics there are gonna be.

If the rumor is true the mountain/tree wouldn't have been able to support the boat

Each with their own little brochure-length backstory.

I actually missed that front-facing piece of concept art entirely somehow. Whereas the model shown at D23 is the Disneyland version of the ride with its single file logs, the front-facing day/night concept art shown is WDW's. The boats are the double seaters and the red clay is still present on it.

Still looks fairly awkward without the tree atop it, it's a darn shame they got rid of that. Even if it wouldn't have supported the boat (though I wonder how accurate that rumor was anyway).

Right before you go over the drop you hear "Hope you paid attention cause there's a quiz at the end!"

So why not just the tree then?

Probably to make it less like Chickapin Hill

I didn't care for the boat either, but it looks great to me now compared to what we are getting.

Maybe Chapek got jealous that the mountain had more "hair" than he does, so he demanded they make it bald like him.

 

[Kirby86]

While Princess and the Frog is definitely not a great fit, I think The Muppets is probably worse unless they're basically just hosting something completely topically independent of The Muppets themselves. Anything that frames the Rivers of America should, in my opinion, speak to a specific American place as viewed through the lens of Americana.

I mean the Muppets appeared in Liberty Square. The cast is versatile you can put them in almost any genre and make it work. However it is a moot point since Tiana's is the theme they chose. I just hope the ride is good for those looking forward to it.

No I mean the tree from the concept art minus the boat

I hear next week he's shaving the Everest Yeti out of jealousy

Found this pic from 2009, I believe at the PatF premire.

It was the long game

In other words, a bald mountain at night?

Facilier isn't in the ride because Tiana has moved past such weak villains and will now be fighting Chernabog?
