News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[LittleBuford]

Don’t you dare compliment them!

I'm going to double down: the latest pictures confirm my sense that the retheme is not reducing the effect of height.

I don't like the Tiana mural, but it's deliberately crude, because it's supposed to look like it was done by the people that work for her company, and not by a skilled artist.

 

[James Alucobond]

Wait…. Are we not allowed to talk about salt domes? The actual inspiration for this thing? Not trying to be argumentative but that seems odd.

I’m sure you can discuss them relative to the look of what is being constructed since this is the construction update thread, but IIRC, a lot of what got pruned amounted to rhetoricals where the undercurrent was a generalized questioning of the existence of the entire project.

Yeah, I think the outside will look great. Still need to hear (a lot) more on the inside of the ride but I’m cautiously optimistic. They obviously know this needs to be a home run and have budgeted well. The Imagineers just need to pull it off.

I don't think it's supposed to look crude; it's consistent with the artist's own style.

At any rate, I'm beginning to view it less as an extension of the theming than as a reference to the ride itself. Sort of like Splash Mountain's own queue artwork, which clearly wasn't in a style appropriate to Reconstruction Georgia or the aesthetics of Frontierland:

Crude in the sense that the art is supposed to look like it's the work of a community of people.
A grass roots type of thing, and not the work of a single skilled artist.
The artist was chosen because her work conveys the look they were going for.

Finally the cell towers have arrived, get those installed on the top and that 10g will really zing!

Those 10g signals will activate the microchips that were injected into your bloodstream when you put on that new magic band. Its the new pixie dust.

Yet I still won't have a strong enough signal when trying to get a boarding group

Pshaw, no one mines for salt, you just pick it up at the store like everyone else... just like fresh mudbugs they grow behind each market!

The trees are intriguing.

I assume they are the trees seen here:

Faux cypress trees I imagine

Ooh I did not realize there was a mural on both sides, that makes more sense now in my brain haha.

Love how those trees are "insert branch A into slot A" construction like my grandma's artificial Christmas tree.

Also, it seems like this section of the old barn queue:

Is now going to be closed off? (unless that foam insulation is just being used to temp block the view):

I agree with your second idea, looks like a quick and dirty way to block view.

I hope found open in Next july

I think it looks decent… including the murals - and I didn’t initially like them.

I’m still not a fan but I think the murals look better than the plain yellow did, they still have a year to (hopefully) continue improving on the murals, still a work in progress.
