What is the point of going to Disney if every ride is just empty sets and video screens?

Am I correct in counting 43 AAs in total? 22 in the main attraction, 19 in the finale and 2 at the very end?

That greatly depends on your definition of AA.

The same definition that brought Splash's count to 100+ (very generous).

I would say if the mouths move and "sound is coming out" then it's an AA. When a bear is rocking back and forth with a log trumpet, it doesn't count.
I wouldn't say Splash had 100+ (at least not WDW's), but by my recollection it had far more than what TBA has.

I don't think we should use the generous count. The actual count for WDW Splash is somewhere between 50 and 60. The actual count for this is somewhere between 12 and 16. The use of limited motion figures is far more prevalent in the retheme.

Yeah, that's fair. Very unfortunate that those seem to be reserved for prominent moments only where in Splash they were everywhere.
Still probably the most we will get in a modern Disney attraction though

The fully animated background characters added so much to Splash. It's what made it feel like a successor to Pirates.Yeah, that's fair. Very unfortunate that those seem to be reserved for prominent moments only where in Splash they were everywhere.

Just want to remind everyone that those sets of rocking figures all got their own parks blog post! Lol

Holy cow I forgot about this.
Once it's open and we get more ride throughs and photos- it'll be a blast comparing the final project to all of their marketing.

I’m guessing those plushes are going to sell as well as the merch for Cosmic Rewind, Wish, Strange World…

I'm laughing but Im so sad. I can't believe how bad this turned out. I would have bet the farm that it would have at least matched my super low expectations.

Are they making trading cards of them too or did I imagine that in a dream? Am I dreaming right now? Will I wake up and it's 2019?

Probably some plants. Or maybe an amazing animatronic of this guy:
I'm hoping for the latter. He seems like he could turn this whole thing around.

Splash was the one attraction where I could unquestionably say WDW had DL beat. Sad that seems like it won’t be the case here.

I feel like the whole section where we get shrunk down could easily have a Halloween overlay. There is a screen of Mama Odie before the drop that could be swapped for Dr Facilier the whole section after that is screens which could be swapped out for different animation/audio, throw in some projection mapping to the black light sets. Then we don’t see an actual AA Mama Odie until the top of the drop which could be where we are saved from the shadow people…fixed it! Hah

As someone who has not seen PATF, I'll chime in for just a bit. The first time I watched this, I was confused as to what the story actually was, probably by not being able to understand all of the audio. However, I was very 'meh'.
The second time through, I watched it with my girls (12/10) and while I understood the "plot" better, I was even more 'meh'.
The third time, I watched it with my wife and she didn't like it either. All of their reactions were....it's boring and the story is lame. Not only that, but it took me at least twice through to understand what was happening with the shrinking part.
Like others, I will echo that it seems like it LOOKS nice, ala Navi, which I also find very boring, but pretty. However, this is probably going to be another one like Navi for me, where it's just not worth the long lines that will form, to actually sit through this more than once.
However, this saddens me for another reason that has nothing to do with the ride IP. Someone earlier in the thread was referencing modern Disney and their lack of 'caring' or effort. They've had THIS on the drawing board for 3+ years? Modern Disney management just doesn't see to be putting in the effort that decades ago made Disney...DISNEY. They just think that they can slap an IP on something and present a mediocre product.
