It’s the one new character that’s not meant to move, so it’s a safe one to spotlight in these vital days.

Orange Bird was an obscure part of the history of WDW but was only truly elevated to almost icon like status when it was revitalized through marketing. Solely for the desire was to sell stuff. Nothing different with what they'd like to get from Lari (Larry) the Armadillo.

The desire to sell stuff is why they do everything lol

The attraction opened on time today.

If there’s one thing everyone can agree on, it’s Mondo.

This is not terrifying. It’s not. I will NOT wake up screaming. I will not.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Yep I would agree with that. It either looks broken or budget hit. I don't think it adds anything.

The outdoor Louis bothers me the most, specifically as he is truly the most fluid and best AA in the ride, why create an off model, shiny, statue version outside? At least have him raise the cart or something.

I think having anything of substance before the showbuilding disrupts the flow of the ride. Not only does most of it seem cheap and out of place, but it makes the inside show scenes seem less impactful. Splash would slowly acclimate the riders into the critter world, only showing signs of them until fully immersing guests once the first interior threshold was passed. TBA attempts to have the entire ride layout be the ‘meat,’ but shoves things into areas that were designed to be simple exposition. Not only does it feel cheap, but also very awkward and poorly designed

Same could be said for the intro-Tiana AA. Actually it sets guest expectations for the rest of the attraction... only to shatter them when they pass by the limited motion critters.

and dumb cheap signs

Did the ride have any issues with shutdowns during opening day?

 

[bwr827]

Isn't this just the ending of the movie? Tiana's dress doesn't match what she's wearing in the ride

They should sell a Tiana doll with various dress-up outfits for all these forum members fixated on her clothes.

Are you saying this isn't connected to the ride? What other reason could there be for it?

It's not just the forum members here. There's plenty of people saying how little Tiana looks like Tiana in the attraction and the bulk of those complaints are attributed to her attire. "Zookeeper/Skipper" Tiana and the lack of the traditional green "Tiana dress" are valid criticisms. But you make a great point. Why not monetize it? Wouldn't want Disney to leave any money on the table. If the plush critters don't sell (who doesn't want creepy Lari?) maybe they can add a dress up doll to the shop. That way, Tiana can be just like Barbie! Tiana, wearer of many hats is also an astronaut, racecar driver and veterinarian.

Sounds like the doll might sell well!

Went to a Maroon 5 concert, and didn’t put together that PJ Morton was in Maroon 5. So I saw him on stage.

For those who don’t know PJ Morton wrote “Secret Spice”.

Was genuinely shocked and did several double takes and a quick google search.

Did Adam Levine sing Special Spice at the concert?
