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

[Buried20KLeague]

Thanks for the nightmares.

I’d bet good money I’m not gonna be too far off.

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

I hope that’s not the deal.

Okay, we’re heading the right direction….

 

[Animator_Alex]

Me either. I don’t believe for a moment there will be any conflict in the ride at all.

My guess at the storyboard:

“Tiana wants to make a special dish! But she doesn’t have the magic ingredient!”

Tiana: I’m so busy I could use your help finding the last ingredient! You guys go get it and I’ll check on you a couple times over the next 4 minutes!”

“Come on, handful of America Sings animals! Let’s help her find it!”

<insert original song about the hunt and how much fun it is>

<run into a couple characters from the movie who join in on the hunt and give advice on where to look. One of them suggests asking mama Odie>

<another song>

<something projection mapped, because that has to be in everything now>

“Mama Odie is just up that hill!”

<gopher pops out still informing you where he went to college>

<climb the hill>

“Mama Odie had the plant!”

“Ya’ll better hurry and get the plant to Tiana! She’s waiting at the restaurant! Fastest way there is down this hill!”

“By the way, this is a salt mine for some reason!”

<splash>

<final scene where Tiana has the plant and is serving the dish to her guests and probably a couple America Sings animals>

And generations of children are protected from asking what movie zip a dee doo dah was from. Mission accomplished.

its so realistic its scary

its so realistic its scary

Now I just need a name tag, a company issued Escalade, a parking spot behind Main Street, forget everything I know about the history of the parks, and gain a healthy disdain for park guests.

The real secret ingredient are the friends we make along the way

Amanita is the name the flowers cover everything.

 

[Tha Realest]

There’s talk of a “missing ingredient” she needs. Along with a couple pics of a unique flower some are suspecting is the ingredient.

If they do the “missing ingredient was you the whole time!” thing, that would be even WORSE.

Courtesy of DFB, but this was reported widely:

 

[MisterPenguin]

Just like the movie, the only ingredient you need is love.

 

[Disney Analyst]

A family friendly adaptation of Sweeney Todd? But with Tiana that would be bold.

I… I should have seen that coming.

 

[GhostHost1000]

If not a villain, maybe the salt mine will start to collapse?

Either way, if there is a villain, or will likely be some stupid misunderstood salt dome supervisor who works the employees too hard and learns the lesson of his/her/their ways :/

The real villain is whoever decided to redo splash mountain

 

[Touchdown]

The drop was cool, bit my favorite part was the bluegrass Zip outside the finale. Cause that Harmonica player (Tom Ball?) goes HARD on that solo.

And I’m really glad I have a recording of that.

You would not believe this and I can't believe it to be true, but Universal is saying 300 million for Epic Universe. That is IMPOSSIBLE. I bet in the end we find it was 1 billion.Epic Universe is 750 acres and 4 lands for 300 million? I must of read it wrong. And only 4 year start to finish?

Last I heard a bit closer to $6 billion

 

[monothingie]

Just like the movie, the only ingredient you need is love.

And salt. Lots of salt.

We're missing the synergy play.

YOU are the missing ingredient...

YOU are the missing ingredient...

Tianna’s Soylent Special?

We're missing the synergy play.

We went from being the magic to being salt?

Unpopular Opinion: When this thing looks like a wreck 6 months after opening because Disney Operations will have unleashed their magic, I won’t be upset.

I hope it's amazing. I really do, and it can be.
But if they subpar this thing, yeah - I'll be celebrate its failure as an example of all that is wrong with the current trend of reimagining things for "modern audiences."

 

[Incomudro]

I guess it's plausible that the Laughing Place and lower half of the lift has some Friends on the Other Side stuff, and then Mama Odie shoo's them away when you reach the top. But I still don't think they'll bother even including any dark and scary elements in the ride at all...

Building some sense of dread as Facilier's presence makes itself known, build and stalks us - only to escape him over the lift hill with the help of Mama Odie - and fall into a Mardi Gras scene featuring the paddle wheel boat (which I believe will still be there) would be the way I'd like to see this ride done.
