Wonder if they are replacing them with new salt shaker ride vehicles?

Looks like the ride vehicles are going off site for their reskin/renovation.
Crazy they're just leaving property now. I thought they had left days after Splash had closed

They should make it a different array of woodland critters, like one log can have a frog on it and one can have an alligator.
I can only imagine how awesome it'd be to be next to a piece of Disney history like this.

Almost as awesome as being IN that piece of history. Oh...
Doesn't sound like the tiara is being reconsidered - this was in a new press release today.

Tiana's Foods Water Tower To Be Installed Soon at Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World has announced that guests will soon be able to spot the Tiana's Foods water tower centerpiece at Magic Kingdom

I don't mind the water tower. It actually does a fairly good job of accomplishing what WDI set out to do... Shrink the "mountain" and better tie-in with the rural old western motifs of Frontierland.Tiana's Foods Water Tower To Be Installed Soon at Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World has announced that guests will soon be able to spot the Tiana's Foods water tower centerpiece at Magic Kingdom
It's the FREAKING tiara topper that blows it all to crap.
"So what should our tower look like?"
"Well it's in Frontierland so it should look rustic..."
"Ok"
"And it should say something about Tiana"
"Alright can do"
"Oh and a crown! Put a crown on it!"
"...a crown?"
"Do you know how fireable you are design intern 137?"
"I mean...a tiara sounds great! First thing tommorow!"
Either that or Carmen yelling "But it's Myyyyyyy ride and I want a crown noooowwww" like a 5 year old at Walmart

Why, puttin' a tiara atop a fake water tower for a log flume ride would be as cheesy as, well, let's say mouse ears on a park's fake water tower. -Walt Disney

We know it's a salt mine but what exactly is the "mountain" supposed to be now? Personally, I think it's a hill. A wet hill to be exact, though it may also be a mound of dirt.
No one knows. (Not sure they know)
Unknown, because, in the entire history of Louisiana, no one has ever piled dirt more the 70 feet high before.

But it's going to have a tiara on it!

Shrinking the mountain is foolish too.
I could care less about the reality of a feature that high in New Orleans.
I care more about the exterior of the ride having a visual impact.
And they blew that.
