There is no possible way Iger would've seen anything beyond some brand new set dressing being installed. If the attraction was that complete at this rate it should be opening within a couple months, and we know that is not the case. AAs aren't onsite, and I doubt the lighting/music is even finished being configured. There's simply no way to formulate an opinion on something that is physically not complete. If true my best guess is some lines got crossed and Iger may have said something about the attraction's backstory, which has already been criticized as mundane. Reiterating my earlier point, is that he loses credibility with his statement on 17 total figures which is clearly hearsay. It's a sensationalist piece, echoing much of what has been said already on Twitter

Just because he heard something at recess doesn’t make it true.

Practicing healthy skepticism with regard to something unsubstantiated until corroborating evidence appears is preferable to continuously surfacing rumors as if they were credible and misleading people who join in on the discussion later.

WHAT?!?!? They all aren't desperately counting down the minutes to run out of the meeting and text some secret info to a 20 something who built his career on either making up junk he pulled out of his backside or posting others insider information as his own?
I refuse to believe you.
Maybe Bob was upset that he might miss his second shower of the day and he was grumpy?
This is literally the news and rumors thread.
You do you in believing or not believing the credibility of the information. The information was presented from an individual that has a history of providing correct information and does have legitimate sources. They used to participate here but now have their own site, that's why I won't name them.

You qualified the information as coming from credible reports in the plural, which is misleading at best. You can believe whatever you want, but it should be noted that it’s from one person, corroborated by no one else.
The briar patch looked significantly more synthetic than anything they’ve added thus far for Bayou Adventure.
Some of you have never worked in the themed entertainment industry or have been to a Slice event and it shows.
Baxter wishes them all the best, but he felt there was nothing about the attraction that needed to go, so not much passion for its new goals.

Disney officially stated there were to be "dozens" of animatronics, by my math that is at least 24.
I head there were only 17 animatronics. Is there any truth to this number?

What you're incorrectly describing as ignorance is actually just healthy skepticism. Anyone can say anything on the internet.
We have no real reason to believe that "imagineers working on this took glee in destruction of set pieces from Splash". It's actually quite reasonable to question statements like that, which are almost impossible to quanitify or qualify, let alone verify, and seem clearly designed to create an emotional response for those who already feel a certain way.

Probably going to do the rest of the area in sections
It is either cheaper to have guest traffic on it to help it settle and test it,
or there is some exclusive dine and stroll ticketed event going on.
Or someone is really about to get a safety talking to for leaving the path open.

It was noted earlier by @MerlinTheGoat that this is probably based on a misunderstanding of somewhat similar information he heard. Essentially, there are 17 new characters that will appear in animatronic form. This does not include Tiana, Naveen, Odie, etc. and does not account for the fact that certain characters will appear in animatronic form multiple times.

That these are the three options you see as being likely doesn’t mean those are the only options.
In my opinion, stating uninformed opinions as fact is why we get bad rumors, wrong expirations, and persistent misinformation.

Agreed - it's kinda wild that some people are complaining these brief looks at the scenery are "too cartoony" when you consider that 1) Some of the pieces of them were clearly retained from Splash, 2) That Splash was frequently more cartoony than those new images look, and 3) The ride is based on a Cartoon.
Seems like a useful reminder that there were prominent spots in Disneyland's Splash Mountain that looked like this - imagine if TBA were representing flowers this way instead of using the realistic faux foliage we've just seen:

No, it's 17 new characters, the actual quantity of AAs will be much higher when including duplicates, returning PATF characters or other regular non-main critters. It will be several dozen at least. I expect not just 24 either.
Still waiting to see if they reuse any America Sings ones too.
