Pecos Bill could be changed over to a New Orleans theme restaurant making just that building the transition point to Louisiana...The more difficult thing is the transition back to the western Thunder Mesa area... Unless they expanded the park behind BTMRR and had the western town back there, then allow the riverfront from Golden Horseshoe to Pecos Bill become New Orleans focused... The only problem would be what to do about Country Bear Jamboree... Either repurpose the theater with a new cast of characters and build a new Country Bear Jamboree in the expansion Thunder Mesa area, or just ignore the jumbled theme... It is not like every aspect of the park makes sense...when Aladdin's Flying Carpets were added to Adventureland which was clearly set in a tropical jungle, few had anything to say about it and no one even thinks about it anymore...So I don't think accuracy of theme has been the guiding principal here...lol

It scales better than I thought it would. I'd say it normalizes the height of the mountain more than it minimizes it. Giving another visual target to spread the horizontal visual load of the broader structure helps enforce the idea that this is a "place," not just a lift and drop.

Even the tiara - which I wasn't sure of - doesn't bother me at this scale. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a bit of whimsy from a gal who survived an ordeal in the swamp as a frog only to be promoted to an actual princess *and* successful restauranteur.

Even if they got rid of those little sparkles there would be some improvement by making it look less Fantasyland and a somewhat feasible structure for the time and place. One of those little details that makes you wonder what happened to WDI, who used to be particularly known for being across those little details that added a sense of authenticity.

The tiara looks exactly the same as it did in the model and the drawings - your imagination might need a checkup:

The "sparkles" are a reference to Ray and Evangeline's stars from the movie.

The whole thing is terrible...especially the "Tiana's Foods" logo. Whoever dreamed up this backstory for the ride should have been sacked.
It sounds unimaginative and joyless. No one wants to visit an "Employee Owned Foods Factory" ride. Visiting her beautiful dream restaurant after the ride would have been a must-do, but this corporatization twist in the storyline for the ride makes no sense and really ruins the simple sweetness of the story and characters. Maybe it will be like Tokyo Disney Sea's Sinbad attraction...and after a year, they will go back and make it a sweet magical adventure without the contorted food factory storyline.
I can't wait for Cinderella's Employee Owned Shoe Factory & Sweatshop ride!
