I don’t think there’s any way they’re spending the money to completely change out the flume for that. Looks like the concept art’s geared toward WDW for the closure date announcement.

I agree with @Rich T that the double-wide log is illustrating Orlando's version. I just thought the rear-end view was a little too ... um ... I don't want to say "on the nose."
I'm also encouraged by the new concept art, but I'm not so sure about the gluteal cleavage on the rear-end of the log.

This is why Louis is so happy. We are all riding on decoy gators in mating season.

Thank you! And now I can see that the unidentifiable side pouch from the painting is his right leg. What the heck’s up with giving an otter sheepdog amounts of beard, though? That looks like the Col. from 101 Dalmatians and Emmet Otter shared a transporter malfunction.

No, DL is still going to have the single file logs. They're not going to alter the track width, and DL's current track is far too narrow to accommodate the wider double-row logs from WDW and Tokyo.
The model they showed at D23 for DL's variant still shows the single file logs. They also showed a CGI render of WDW's at the event with the larger side by side logs (along with a few minor scenery alterations, such as the purple sign hung stop the mill lift being absent on the WDW render).

And then everyone died. The end.

To be fair, the first one looked like Pandora, not a Louisiana Bayou

We have a closing date for the one at WDW (January 23), but still no such date for Disneyland's version, though I bet it will not be until after January 27, the opening day for the new Mickey ride in Toontown, so as not to lose park capacity. Although, they should just wait too open the ride until March, when all of Toontown will be open then.
If the blue, green, and purple lighting in the model will make it to the final product, it should be stunning at night.

Okay, I'm glad it's not just me!!!
And Pandora is gorgeous, but Louisiana bayous are also gorgeous and very specific. They're unique to other swamps and bayous. There's a lot to tap into there. Pandora isn't....it just isn't it.

The other thing to keep in mind is both IJA and GRR are now scheduled for fairly lengthy refurbs according to the app. Until “Spring 2023”. Assuming a possible March/April reopening and with the rest of TT reopening then I do wonder if TDA may be waiting on getting some of this capacity up.
Even if it is a different park, they may not want both water rides down simultaneously at the resort.

If the closure of the Indiana Jones ride means that it will get the attention it so desperately needs, then I'm fine with it being shut down.

They really need to get IJA working and sparkling again. Specifically before or in time for when the new film comes out.
Now that you mention it, I don't think Magic Kingdom has any big rides down for rehab right now that losing Splash as well would cause an apocalypse.
