It’s difficult to tell with all that scaffolding, but this still looks pretty mountainous to me, and the water tower isn’t doing what people feared it would (diminishing the sense of height).

I could see this having a lengthily soft opening period and then having the official opening on Nov 25 2024 to coincide with the movie's 15th anniversary.

I love how green it is. Looks lush, and mossy.

Have they added a ton of moss recently? Looks much greener than the last pics I saw.

I thought that was left over from Splash!

I thought they‘d taken most of the moss off the mountain, but that may have been at DL, I’m having a hard time keeping them straight.

Nope! They’ve been adding all that gorgeous lush green.
Was mostly orange rock face with grass patches before.
No, it's very green in person, and a much more natural green too. It actually looks great IMHO.

He was taken, body and soul, to a place not of death, but of torment.
At least that’s the angle I’m going with.
It was really just Jupiter and Venus.

I've said before that I have little doubt that the ride will look beautiful, and that current lighting, effects, details etc., will likely make the old Splash look stark and primitive by comparison.
My big fears are what they changed from the film, and are leaving out (Facilier) coupled with the food corporation route.
But this news gives me hope.

Agree, or is it just Disneyland and WDW gets the short end of the stick budget version.....Disneyland has different spaces and configurations than here to some degree. That's a concern.

If Facilier is dead, how would they incorporate him? I've read so many (perhaps not you) who deride book report rides (which Splash was). If they don't want a book report, does Facilier have a place?

Yes, I'm not one of those anti book report ride people.
I'd have preferred the ride stuck with the film.
I think it's a tremendous mistake to exclude the villain from the film who - as in the case of many film villain's and particularly Disney villains - is often the most memorable part of the film.
My hope is that the ride will still be well done despite his absence.

Maybe they are saving Facilier for the Never-to-be-built Villains Land...
He would have made a great Host for the land... Have a sort of Belle's Cottage moment where guests walk through Dr Facilier's empty Voodoo store. After being ushered into a back room, the voodoo icons and tools come to life and a portal opens and Dr Facilier manifests and welcomes guests to step into the Other Side... opens into the Villain's Land area... It could be a great setup...

The only indication that it may be light on AA's comes from those leaked renders that SplashArchive posted. Which I'll reiterate look very incomplete and not something i'd base an assumption on given the way they're being used to test out different character configurations. I'll not go through all of the same commentary once again since i've stated my reasoning multiple times now.
The couple of pieces of official art shown for the ride points to it having a significant number of AA's. One of these pieces actually shows off a larger quantity than the same scene in Splash. I was told early on that this ride would follow a more classic template with a large population of AA's, and so far the signs point more towards that than it being sparse. I don't have an exact number, nor do I know if it will end up having as many as Splash. But i'm quite sure it will have far more than the likes of Rise of the Resistance. I agree that Disney doesn't create rides like Splash anymore, but it sounds like this is going to be the exception to that rule for a change.

All good discussions. After some thought, I think would rather see many lower tech AAs (like we had in Splash) that creates a lot if kinetic energy instead of a lesser number of high tech AAs (like we will be getting in Tianas).
