They're artificial.

Ah. I did not know that. Thanks.

I think it was humor

It wasn't. lol I honestly didn't know they were fake.

The screens don't really add much to Cosmic Rewind, though. People don't love the ride because of them.

They've done a good job using screens as a supplement in Rise and Na'vi River Journey, though, and obviously Flight of Passage is excellent, as you mentioned.

Outside of the portal effects (great use of screens there), I agree. But I can see the suits thinking the screens are apart of why it's so beloved.

scanned the post but didn't see anything... what are they doing with the gift shop that was in the side of the mountain?

It's currently not known, and construction hasn't seemed to really touch this area yet.

With talks of beignet smells being pumped into the queue, it's rumored this spot might have beignets, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.

They are fools if they don’t sell
Beignets there…

There was mention of the smell of beingets being in the queue so they gotta be somewhere .... Hopefully a dedicated store or stand, maybe just at modified Pecos Bill's

Honestly after looking around the area over the past week, there's not much difference on the exterior of the attraction nor does the mural really stick out. So far it's just a bunch of superficial window dressing. Place making hasn't changed its ambiance one bit.

It should be a store again. Splash Mountain's only store being the Splashdown Photos area hindered it from selling a good amount of ride-exclusive merch as well as hindering foot traffic from becoming too unbearable around the area. They can put a beignet cart on the side if they want to.

Westward Ho could always be the benigets stand, that location used to sell fries so there is (or was) enough room for fryers back there.

 

[Brer Panther]

It'd be weird if it wasn't still a store, seeing as one of the reasons this retheme was greenlit is apparently because Tiana merchandise sells really well.

 

[Disstevefan1]

Similar to the Universal tribute stores, Disney should sell both merch. and beignets in the gift shop for this this attraction.

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

No work has been done thus far on the Briar Patch gift shop, and I have no idea what they plan to do with it. If anything at all. It even still has the briars sticking out.

I don't think Tiana is a big merch pusher either. Though there are some people at Disney who haven't put any further thought into it other than princess=profit. I've almost never seen any kids wearing her dress. We even saw several black kids dressed up as Belle and other princesses during our last several visits (though not Ariel either ironically). We'll see if the ride changes that.

I'd bet Louis is probably a bigger merch pusher than any other character though. Facilier as well, but I dunno if they'll even have anything for him, plus he's not in the ride. Maybe some of the new original critters will have plushies...

 

[ToTBellHop]

I presume it will end up selling a ton of princess stuff.

And some beignets, dammit! Surely, even if they don't have the ability to fry on-site, they can serve the crappy ones from the Disney Wish at minimum.

 

[Fox&Hound]

I have no doubt the new critters will have stuffed animals akin to how Disney pushed Chubie the little yellow bird on Mickey’s runaway railway.

Disney never said this was one of the reasons. It was just fan speculation.

Tiana is one of those princesses whose merchandise ends up at the outlets a lot. Maybe the company is thinking this ride will make her more popular.

I’d encourage you to think about this post from a different perspective.

Tiana is a “Disney Princess”, more Tiana = more Disney Princess exposure. It’s a franchise. I also imagine they will as others mentioned have plushies of the animals from the attractions
