If it’s part of the queue and exterior its not just backstory though.

I'm simply addressing and correcting the claim that the co-op aspect of the story would dominate the entirety of the ride. The majority of the ride from what I understand is not going to actually be a preachy "yass queen, grow those crops with your democratized labor union" being screamed into your ear from every angle. It's going to largely be about musical critter bands.

The problem is that the marketing team behind this ride are morons. And if you think I like this backstory, you couldn't be more wrong. It's horrible. But there is a reason i'm not ready to throw the entire ride in the garbage just yet. Not until I see what they did to the interior. If they screw that part up, then it's all over.

Also, that wood fence mural is ugly.

The post you responded to only alluded to the fact that those elements aren’t being contained to just a backstory not that it’s going to dominate the ride. Anyway, I agree that it will be kept mostly to the queue and exterior which isn’t a great set up tbh. Nor is the plot of having to find a missing ingredient. At least the setting for the show scenes will be fine… I think. Who knows anymore? Like I said earlier I never once have thought that this ride might turn out garbage until today. I hit a new low between compounding effect of what’s been shown, the mural in the mill and reading that backstory.

You guys don’t get it. Pairing Beignets on a Tiana ride with Disneys filler theming (crates) is a no brainer.

Oh, I get it. Just sometimes don't agree with it and wish they'd try a little harder.

Crates and barrels seem to be Disney's solution for filling void areas. Quick and dirty set dressing. Sometimes it's a bit overdone but it is a simple way to say "theme". They do make for good filler. I don't know if that's the case here though, just an observation.

Imagineering could have just as easily "filled" those crates with "La Bouff's Granulated Cane Sugar" or some other typical food stuffs ingredient like flour.

Surely there's not a plot point of sending crates of beignets down the bayou?!

Mural which will be seen in the left of the bottom of the second lift hill as we enter the mill house.

The mill seems like a weird spot for a mural to me, but it looks... fine? Not bad. Better than the one on the barn. It reminds me of the illustrations they have in those Emeril cookbooks...

The primary marketing has been focusing on the backstory and that’s a mistake.

The redeeming factor is that Louis will be the true star no matter what they do - Louis can do no wrong and will surely make me smile!

Yeah, I like Louis. Hopefully the storyline does Louis more justice than that original "dur hurr he's too stupid to find his trumpet" plotline.

What’s the consensus on the amount of AAs that will be in TBA? I’m of the opinion that 40 is possible but probably too optimistic. That would still be 60 less AAs than Disneyland’s Splash Mountain. How can that loss not be felt? I guess you could argue that really atmospheric scenes, cool effects, lighting and projections could do some of the heavy lifting. Still, a lot to make up for. I think this has been said before but a musical Navi River Journey (with more AAs obviously) might be what we’re in store for.

To all the “the coop is just a backstory” folks, why are you ignoring what Disney’s published regarding the storyline for the ride? The on-ride continuation of the mural corroborates this is what we’re largely going to get:

I can't believe how dreadful that reads.

That’s because TWDC is following the wrong I word… Inclusion instead of Imagineering…it’s almost like the company feels that as long as the ride checks the correct boxes, it really won’t matter if Tiana is superior to Splash…it would be ironic if the best addition is the weathervane…

100%.
The box checking... That's exactly what I noticed when I just read the promo bit for this ride.
It's SO bad that it sounds like a joke.
It sounds like something that was made up to make fun of this whole inclusivity, DEI, etc., thing that's endlessly pushed.
If this ride is good, and I really hope it is good, it'll be good in spite of all of that - not because of it.
I know I've said it a bunch of times, but the film gave them all of the ingredients (pun intended) to make this a great ride.
But these people believe they know better, and think their messaging is more important than entertainment.

So far we have murals that look out of place, a rain forest facade in Frontierland, ridiculous backstories and the probability that the ride will have 50% fewer AAs than Disneylands Splash Mountain and most likely 40-50% fewer AAs than MK’s version. I’ve always maintained that this retheme will at the very least come out decent but that kind of changed today. Something about that mural in the mill is really bothersome. That in conjunction with the compounding effect of questionable choices + reading that ridiculous backstory has got me second guessing.
