There is no "other Tiana thread", only one about the end of Splash Mountain. Again, I'm not sure how discussing the design of the construction walls somehow contravenes the topic of a thread dedicated to, well, the new ride's construction.Me waiting for people to clear off to the other Tiana thread so we can discuss construction ( as said in the opening post )
Did I specifically quote you ?
I didn't say you did, nor did I take it personally, since I'm not the only person here discussing the signs. I took you to be referring to the sign discussion, but if I'm mistaken and you meant something else, I will gladly apologise for my misunderstanding.
I can definitely see why you're getting a '70s vibe. And I'd hope your closing sentiment is true, though even if it is the case that the design is based on something legitimately from the 1920s, such accuracy doesn't mean much if it doesn't successfully evoke the time period in the eyes of the audience.
IMO, it's very 90s signage, color wise, which is interesting because they are getting rid of that style across the entire property. I consider it more of a mature version of Art Deco. Even Splash's sign fit this style with the purple / red / blue color palette. Which, hey I'm all for anything which contrasts the boring "Apple store" look that Disney has been updating Resort wide.
Maybe that is what is going into the Briar Patch gift shop........
That the signage and theming doesn’t fit the time period and feels lazy is entirely in keeping with their other prominent remake of another attraction set in roughly the same era
Maybe there will be a restaurant in the ride area, something like the Blue Bayou restaurant at DLR Pirates? Probably not, but that could be a very interesting change.
So will, those very few clueless, guests be happy or disappointed when they dixcover Tiannas is a ride and not a restaurant.
Awful lot of gatekeepers in here wanting to greatly limit what constitutes “construction” so it cuts off any criticism of what we’re seeing being constructed.
I prefer my walls adorned with non-Walt Waltisms....
As I said yesterday, I’d prefer not to keep that thread going; it comes with too much baggage and is not forward-looking.News - Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure
Any guesses on what the new name of the exit gift shop (previously known as "Splashdown Photos" ) and The Briar Patch will be ? They have never mentioned those in any announcement. When has the name of an exit gift shop been announced so far in advance?forums.wdwmagic.com
This is a Tiana thread, look her name is even in the title!
I would have used the report post if I was really bothered.
