That would mean Disney is way AHEAD of schedule on a new attraction.
I’m guessing you will have more of a chance to meet Walt himself walking down Main Street.

My issue is the creation of a new backstory that has nothing to do with an already excellent film, characters, and song selection.

What makes you think this isn’t the narrative for the ride?

I do think some people really need to take a breath and wait for more info.
Obviously, everyone here wants way more detail on the actual ride itself, but all we've had is light marketing highlighting culture and what Tiana has been up to since the end of the movie.
As has been repeated, it's important to remember backstories are essential for building amazing rides so imagineers aren't aimless, but the ride itself we know very little about. We know it's going to be a Bayou Adventure starring animals and whimsical fun. Most people never know the backstory heading into a ride, and there's truly no reason to assume they need to here. I'm sure it'll be featured in the queue.
I personally am very happy to see rich culture and inclusive imagineering take the forefront. Splash is gone, that's done. Taking the time and care to try and create an experience that is rich in the black culture of New Orleans is a very commendable action and it will have an impact on tons of kids and adults who end up riding TBA.
Actual ride details will come and it may disappoint, but we genuinely don't know. The effort shown, the hints from insiders and the promise of dozens of animatronics leaves me quite optimistic though.

Dinoland has a backstory?

Seems like we should be able to have a conversation without all the snark.
I'm really intrigued by the external changes to the mountain (I know, we're not supposed to call it that anymore). Obviously they've put a new, treeless top on it, but there have been a few spots along the outside portion of the flume where they've cut into the rock work. I'm sure most of this is so they could get in and check/repair the structure of the building itself, but I'm wondering if they're going to make any additions to the outside.

answer to all - because we start our journey at the water tower that says tiana's foods. and have this gobbledygook of a sign saying we're at their corporate location

One would hope so.
Ok...where were me? Oh....yeah, Tiana.
For those that don't know. There were two types of logs for Tony Baxter's excellent Splash Mountain ride. Disneyland used a single stack log and and WDW logs were double stacked (side by side seating)
Personally, I liked the WDW side by side seating so you could sit next to your partner. Does anybody know if Disney will take the oppertunity to change the logs in Disneyland to be double seating?
Which seating type is best for TBA?

You know what's funny?
I wonder if the ride path is even wide enough to do that...

That is my issue exactly... I liked the film and characters... I don't need a whole new story into a character that (could have) evolved after story we love... Just like other classic Disney film characters...I don't need a sequel to know what happened afterwards...The idea of being in the bayou and having Dr Facilier send you over the water to the "Other Side" or escaping the "Other Side" over a waterfall sounds like an amazing attraction to me... Ending at Tiana's Palace is great too...but all this gobbledygook they have created does not make sense to me...

Same here. What was wrong with the story of the film. It was great.
We know the flat regions could be a bayou, low land swamp..but does the swamp path take you into an actual flooded salt mine? We go "up/down" a salt mine dome and then back to a New Orleans swamp? Maybe there is a magic portal that takes you there and returns you back???

Nothing wrong with it, they’re just moving on and telling the next parts of the story.

If I was a betting man I'd say both coasts logs are staying as is. Unless they're actually rebuilding the flume for Disneylands. I belive it's too narrow for Disney Worlds style.

This is both a) a stretch with regard to your “happens to you” categorization and b) probably not terribly dissimilar from what the new ride experience will be.
Keep reading when you stopped and decided to quote what you quoted. The difference there is the thrill dynamic happens to you. Same way Pirates does. (the original ride this quote happens to you comes from when Imagineers reference people's favorite) The physical dynamic is the storytelling. If you read my post again, you will see nothing has been marketed or in story given, leading us to believe there will be voodoo magic or other story point that explains the thrill pattern and pacing. It could, but nothing released as of yet that makes anyone believe so.
I will make it easy for you. If you read the end, you see I addressed where this could be the case, but not yet:
I have yet to hear how we are a part of this ride's story and how the dynamic of the ride matches the film or our experience. Most posters here can see and have posted the obvious ones. Drops being a result of a voodoo magic good and bad to provide the matching thrill.
So far, all that has been marketed and hyped is touring the food co-op. The richness of story does not mean anything if the ride does not tell a story well.

Really not trying to be critical here. Aren’t we supposed to help Tiana find the missing ingredient? Does that count as how we are part of the ride?
