On topic, I am indifferent towards the water tower.

I will say this....for all the coverage it received, division amongst fans it induced, and the IP it is based on being a "hidden" gem among the Disney animation catalogue....this attraction needs to knock it out of the park

No miracle about it, Jungle Cruise only received an update because they were in desperation mode trying to purge the perceived "problematic" elements of the attraction.

Big Thunder has little to nothing that would be found to be problematic. Perhaps someone might harp on the backstory a bit involving the Native American legends, but that would still be a pretty major stretch even for their absurdly obsessive committees (it's really just one small line of dialog on the riverboat as well).

I doubt WDW's Big Thunder will ever be updated at this point. The ride is in pretty horrible shape too and desperately needs a massive at least 1+ year overhaul. Nothing has moved in the flooded town scene for a few years now. Last i rode it, almost all of the bats were either static or missing, and the waterfall at the top of the first lift was broken. And yeah obviously the complete lack of anything in the third lift for well over a decade now. The ride has also become outright painful due to desperately needing a full track replacement. Something I believe every other version of the ride has already received over the past decade (at least California and Paris, not sure about Tokyo).

They were so quick to change Jungle Cruise and Splash for PR reasons while the Country Bears still sing about shooting little Beauford 😂

A giant tiara breaks the historic theming of Frontierland.

Bring back talking and singing cartoon animals trying to find ways to kill and eat each other to restore the historicity of Frontierland!!

This idea people are floating doesn't really hold up when you consider that the drop isn't changing, the height requirement isn't changing . . . they're clearly not actually aiming to entice a demographic of young riders that weren't riding before.

It seems so much more about establishing a new look for the exterior without having to undo all that expensive rockwork and introducing some foreshortening to minimize the mountain-ness of that rockwork to the end of making story sense in Louisiana. It's not about trying to lure children into riding who would otherwise have been scared by a more intimidating exterior.

The massive drop with screaming riders and height requirement are still gonna fend off kids who aren't ready.

I was going to say … Imagineering never stated reducing the intimidation factor was the intent, did they? People were bringing it up so much that I started to doubt my own memory with regard to what was said.

And did she get a minority grant for opening her business? as a woman she might have been able to do that....though not in 1920...
What kind of packing tape are they using in the shipping department? Are they also handled by Jiminy Cricket's 1920 version of Amazon offering same day shipping for their "foods"?

Now that the tower is up, I can’t wait for the cart corrals to be installed for her store…how much to use a cart? Will we be able to pay with our MB? I can’t wait to see a CM walking in Tomorrowland at the end of the night pushing carts…

Regarding ridership, that will depend on the music and theming. Splash was meant to be a happy frolic flume ride with catchy music and crazy audio. From what we're seeing so far about Tiana, I'm not optimistic.

To effect ridership it would have to be "Swiss Family Treehouse awful"

It can't possibly end up that bad. As I said, thankfully the kept the same floom ride, so its still fun.

I am totally confident after the newness wares off; it will be just as popular as Splash was.

This is in the Magic Kingdom, the most MOBBED park in the world! Folks will go on it because it is there.

Organic, and sustainably sourced!
If Tiana isn't utilizing all of the 2020's required virtuous methodology and terms in the 1920's I object to this ride!
I'd better see locally grown!
If not, I'd better see fair trade!
Are her employees unionized?
I want all of this indicated in the queue.

I want Br'er Frog telling us a story to be replaced by Tiana giving a quarterly recap of Tianas Foods
