Same thing could be said about creating it.

Probably nothing
But definitely not all of Frontierland.
You could separate it into different parts and have from TBA down to Pirates be like a New Orleans Sq/Bayou area and take in Pecos Bill's and Tortuga Tavern
Then Frontierland is like the Bears, Shooting Gallery, then over the bridge to Big Thunder and maybe beyond

Seems like it's less green than the renderings we saw last. And honestly still looks kind of tall and mountainous.
Also, if that's all we get about this ride at the D23 event...good Lord.

Not entirely sure that art would be any kind of a reveal. It just seems like a less realistic version of what we've already seen as the whole shape of the mountain seems different from what is actually there.

On Property this week, here now.
Visited MK today and it was interesting checking out the construction area in person.
Lots of action happening, but I do not have photos.
Quick rundown…
Looks like they are adding a walled area within the previous queue…possibly might be a planter.
Noticed this right away when viewing from above while sitting on one of the WDW Railroad trains earlier today.
Quite a few construction gents walking around the upper levels in the rockwork outside on the actual ‘mountain’.
Looked to me like the peak is stripped to the metal innards…one could see straight through the entire upper ‘tip’ of what is left of the peak.
Also, and most importantly …..
As of this afternoon, the Br’er Rabbit weather vane is still there on top of the barn entrance.
Was nice to see this still there!
I will be over there again in a couple of days, and will give an update if I spot anything seemingly ‘new’.
Will also try to grab some pix.
I will say it was very odd walking around that area of Frontierland and not hearing people screaming…
Kinda hit home the previous resident has been wiped clean from existence there….

looking at pictures of the splash finale and the stylized flowers, just different colored circles. How "realistic" will the innards be? will it be more cartoon/hand-painted/watercolor or the trap that they've laid for themselves of hyper realism that falls flat? keeping in mind this whole thing is based on a cartoon

Sad for the lack of sounds at that end of the park, but VERY happy the weather vane is still up!! Hope it remains!!!On Property this week, here now.

Don't worry, soon you'll hear the screams of all of the Tiana's Food Employees going down a waterfall near the factory where they work!

That art isn't new, I saw it in the background of a public presentation within the past few months. I can't find it right now though. We've also seen more than enough of that hideous exterior, they need to show more of the interior already.
The place is a mess. You won't see the interior for a bit.

I'm not referring to construction images. I meant additional art, renders and animatronics. They showed off a CGI ridethrough of 7DMT nearly three years prior to its opening. Tokyo's Beauty and the Beast ride also had a ton of details revealed two years prior to opening as well, including clips of its CG layout and multiple animatronic figures and props. Tiana has one of these CG ridethroughs as well (albeit the figures would likely be 2D stand ins for what will eventually be AA's), and a substantial number of the animatronic figures are already built and ready to be installed (several since last year). Set pieces too.
They have yet to show anything like this for Tiana, despite the fact that the ride will be open later next year. Continuing to show the same shot of the exterior with slightly different artistic variations over and over and over and over again isn't doing this attraction any favors. It's fueling the hatred against it. Most people detest what they're doing to the exterior. Even the people who are otherwise hopeful about the rest of the attraction. The last time there was any somewhat positive interest whatsoever about the ride was when they showed off the concept art of the animatronic critter band late last year. And it was a very Splash-like show scene.

In the grand scheme of things no one cares. The "fueling the hatred against it" stuff is only an extreme minority of terminally online people that it will have no impact on the rides popularity once it opens.

It's not just the terminally online that are skeptical about this retheme, the negative backlash to this attraction is a primary motivator for why they upped the budget so heavily and went with a more ambitious concept than the "dark empty video screen corridor" plan they wanted to do. The initial announcement for this ride did not give them the sort of unanimous positive feedback that they expected, even from IRL people. Quite the opposite.
Speaking anecdotally, there's a super progressive community I frequent and someone made a thread about this project. And by super progressive, I mean strictly so. Even centrism isn't respected or tolerated by the moderators. Yet even there, this project had a surprisingly mediocre to negative reaction from the comments.
It's the people who wanted the ride to change who are actually in the extreme minority. It'll still get long lines in the first couple years of its operation regardless of what they do to it. Every new ride does, and it's still a lengthy and thrilling log flume, so that's a given. But that newness will pass, and we'll see how well it holds up to scrutiny once the dust settles and emotions on either side calm down to make way for objective reasoning.
