News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[solidyne]

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...

It's unlikely given the artwork but I hope they reconsider the tiara topper. It'd be better without it, IMO. If anything they should have given the Splash shack a dormer and weather vane with some decorative "princessified farm co-op" theming instead. I could be wrong, but I think there might be some internal in-fighting on how best to handle the treatment of the tiara. While I don't think they'll outright remove it, based on the provided concept art and models it kind of seems like WDI isn't sure what the Tiara should even look like. Remove it!

Doesn't sound like the tiara is being reconsidered - this was in a new press release today.

If I wanted to celebrate soulfully, Mr. Toad and the Br'ers would be there. They are the essence of soul.

Yay a factory water tower for the completely un-imaginitively named "Tiana's Foods"...
Well at least the ride name didn't include Disney's other favorite word "Springs" lol

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.

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.

Pretty sure the goal is to make it less intimidating.

While I’m sure that is part of the goal, it’s most likely also to address the simple fact that there is nothing this high in a “bayou”(New Orleans)

 

[Brer Panther]

It looks so much less visually interesting without the tree on top.

I still say New Orleans is a horrible setting for a log flume ride.

Can't believe they're turning it into baby's first dark ride.
