The rainbow mural in the queue kills me. They're really turning one of the greatest theme park attractions of all time into a "live, laugh, love" house.

If you haven't seen it in person....well, it's actually worse. And the washed-out yellow of the barn is certainly a choice.

I happen to have a one day ticket to the magic kingdom I never used. I can't wait for them to announce the opening date. Being that I recently rode the one in Tokyo, it'll be quite an experience to compare the two. Definitely would plan to go at that time since Splash happens to be practically my favorite ride of all time.

You're spoiling the surprise. That's the real opening date... to drive synergy and strategic spend. I believe it will become a festival center in the meantime.

The water tower looks much better now that it’s mostly hidden behind trees, without the tiara on top it would look totally natural, I get the idea behind the tiara, I just don’t think it works, if they removed it it would look better.

The colours and combination of the rockwork, water and flowers make me think of JoW when I look at it.

Agreed. I wish it was painted behind the logo - if a tiara was needed.

I don't mind the tiara, but certainly agree that the water tower looks so much better with the trees etc., around.
Now it doesn't look like the water tower was meant to be a stand alone feature.
I'm hoping the mural blends more when everything comes together.

That's how I'm feeling. It still looks very cluttered in the front pond but it looks better than the tower just sitting in the middle of a pool. Maybe it'll look better once the walls come down and we can get a good look at it.

I feel like they want this to be in Adventureland.Here's a look at the area today.

Chickapin Hill turned into Te FitiA few more photos looking down from the train station.

It's still a rustic vision of the United States, not at all like the Caribbean, Polynesian, South American, and Middle Eastern exoticism of Adventureland.

Louisiana is basically the Old West, right?

Say what you want about Song of the South taking place in Georgia, but at the very least they tried to make it fit in Frontierland. And they succeeded.

I would actually say Louisiana, generally speaking, is as much "the west" as is Missouri in Tom Sawyer or Georgia in Song of the South. What complicates Princess and the Frog is both the time frame and New Orleans specifically. As long as they keep it to a more rural, bayou-based area, it will probably be fine visually, but elements that perceptibly reference the time period just after the film (or just modern sensibilities, broadly) will potentially be anachronistic, which is the danger. We're already seeing that a bit with the mural, though hopefully that will be mitigated in some way.
