That would make sense, which is why they aren’t going to do it.Unless, someone from the "other side" is seeking revenge....

Be serious, for once.
In the new Canon Facilier was a WW1 vet who was dishonorably discharged for attempting to voodoo the enemy into surrender.Unless, someone from the "other side" is seeking revenge....

Cut the best character in the movie but give us the Ralphie we never knew we needed or wanted (because he’s not needed and unwanted).

It’s like making a little mermaid ride only there is no Ursula (cause she’s dead) and instead we find out about Sebastian’s brother who has been adopted to be the pet of Alexander Hamilton while he is in the Caribbean and he inspired Alexander to move to New York City.

Is it me or does it seem like every update seems more and more vague? Like they are giving us concepts about how true they are being to New Orleans but nothing actually concrete about the actual attraction?
Maybe I’m expecting too much?
Also please take special note of this:

Also please take special note of this:
Could that rumor about the retheming of Frontierland be true?Question: You're killing me. The other half of that is you've extended the storyline at Disneyland with Tiana's Palace restaurant and Eudora’s Chic Boutique shop. Will Walt Disney World get a similar treatment?
Carmen: I will say, can't say. Stay tuned.

A Q&A with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Imagineers
Last week, Disney invited a few media members to historic Preservation Hall in New Orleans to have a Question and Answer session with the creative team working on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The event was a part of a larger event giving some insight into how Imagineers are immersing themselves inwww.laughingplace.com

ok...my serious take is they have packed this ride with some much miscellany and unnecessary information it is sounding less and less like Tiana from Princess and the Frog... When you try to include everything and everyone in the world, you tend to lose the point and the actual characters... Hard to believe I would say it, but at this point I would actually have preferred a book report ride....at least it would feature the characters from the film...not people we don't know from a storyline cast 10 years into the future....
I love that they are doing research and all, but this seems like "New Orleans Historical Splash Museum Mountain" where the unsaid back story is more important than the actual attraction....

Yes, @Bocabear. Please give the reverence that a converted log flume ride bursting with half-baked backstories and out of place modern sensibilities deserves!

They got voodoo, they got hoodoo, they got things they ain't even tried.
This is a theme park ride based on an animated movie based on a centuries-old fairytale and set roughly in an actual historical place and time period. The entire endeavor is cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation is good.

As before, there seems to be a curious disconnect between the verbal framing of the ride’s (back)story, which is earnest in the extreme, and the actual concept art, which is fun and festive. I’m taking this to mean that the seriousness of the verbiage won’t be felt when actually experiencing the ride. That’s my hope anyway, because a Magic Kingdom log flume isn’t the appropriate venue for (questionable) lessons in history and geography.

The part about WW1 feels like satire. How could that possibly be conveyed on a 10 minute log ride?

This is my new favorite phrase and I'm going to steal it.
100% nailed it. Spot-on.
The people driving this project are not entertainers. They're not even artists. Entertainment and art are too pedestrian, too vulgar. They see themselves as educators and agents of social change. And when you try to bundle social commentary into the innocuous package of a theme park ride (or, dare I say, a feature-length animated motion picture), that's when it comes across as propaganda.

Then maybe they should focus more on the ride experience. Can we send Zach out with some paint samples they are using for the fake leaves to get all us fans turned on? Their posts, as they are, leave me searching for gratification elsewhere on the internets.

Yes, you have to give the villain a backstory that they're just misunderstood. I'm pretty sure that was passed into law.
