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

[mickEblu]

Eh…if we ended up on The Other Side and Dr. Facilier were coming after us, it would work.

They aren’t going that route because reasons.

I would have turned that entrance into the double drop a mausoleum entrance into The Other Side but they didn’t ask me.

For sure. I’m not talking about the ride experience or that the IP/ content isn’t there to make a great ride.

Right. Really dumb. Are they phasing him out of the parks too or just trying to distance him from the voodoo stuff? I noticed he wasn’t at Oogie Boogie at DCA this year.

He was at MK during the stage show

Interesting. Seems like everywhere you look you see Tiana these days so it’s odd to me that they’d remove a popular character like Facilier from Oogie Boogie.

I wonder why Mama Odie gets a pass. Because she is a GOOD voodoo priestess? We just can’t have a Black villain?

Hopefully, they recast Kang the Conqueror with a white man if that’s the case.

Yup Its because her magic is viewed as good while his is viewed as evil. Evil/ voodoo being associated with a black character for a ride that’s replacing “problematic” Splash Mountain is a No Go…. in their eyes. So they continue to sanitize and dumb down everything for the DEI department.

Man, the finale of Tiana’s looks incredible

He was there during the villains show singing about his friends from the other side

Is there a parallel thread for people who don't willfully misinterpret everything as social conspiracy? I'd like to join that discussion.

I think this is supposed to be that one

I think this is supposed to be that one

I tried to make a new thread about expectations for the ride versus its predecessor (with a poll of course!), just to try to get this thread to be more on topic about what's actually coming with construction updates and everything. But the new thread got shut down for some reason. So I guess this will continue to be the place to defend and complain about this new ride.

I don't even mind complaining/defending the ride.

It's the conspiratorial nonsense and the bad faith summaries of what "they" (Disney, WDI, DEI Team, minorities, immigrants, political opponents, etc.) think, want, and are trying to accomplish that seep into every discussion.

It's great that we don't all see eye to eye on everything. We can disagree agreeably!

But when every thread devolves into one of those awkward, off-the-rails conversations with your grumpy uncle and super political sister-in-law, it makes you wonder if it's worth the trouble to participate at all.

Here's a 4K video tour with different angles if you'd like to see some of the activity happening today.

I think the actual reason why Facilier isn't in the ride is because they want to have it take place after the movie so people won't complain about the black princess being a frog for most of the ride. And that means no Facilier.

Honestly, though, if they had the ride take place after the movie and still had him appear with no explanation, I doubt anyone would complain.

I love how the clip is from the finale of Tokyo's version - the only one that's not being rethemed.

I will say even if it's not the most thematically appropriate it's very pretty

When you plan to retheme an area, you don't theme the new ride to the old area. You build the ride, then work on everything around it. It'll all fit soon.

Also, I'm looking forward to Tiana's at night. After seeing how World Celebration looks at night, if they've got all the foliage glowing like in the concept art, it's going to be a beautiful area.

As long as you saw it in the first few days. The in-ground lights at Epcot are already broken, as is the plumbing at Moana’s water walk-through.

Fans: It’s still gonna have thrills, don’t make it look like a kiddie ride.

Disney: Hold my flowers.

All those pipes.......

The previous version of the ride was literally about a cartoon bunny.

The thrill elements of this attraction have always stood in some contrast with the show elements.
