"Look at it. Look at the reminders of a great attraction hidden behind the crap we're slapping over it"

The Br'ers are quite literally my friends on the other side...of that barrier.

Also, is it organic and are they carbon neutral or is some of the revenue going to buying carbon offsets?

... maybe they'll cover that in the show, at least. These feel like important elements of anything depicting that era so I hope they don't just gloss over them.

I’m waiting for the AMA and the Heart Association to issue warnings on the enormously high rates of sodium…

Lightning Lane may be replaced by the Low Sodium queue

If they’re going to commit to this backstory, the water better be salty as hell. Otherwise it will ruin the immersion… and the mechanical bits

Salt water is so tough on animatronics.
Just ask the mechanical sharks from JAWS.

@wdwmagic any word on the future of the Frontier Land RR Station. Since it has/had such tight integration with Splash, any thoughts on if there is going to be a renaming or a re-theme. The Splash integration was already dubious but at least it kept the entire area in the same century. The new attraction takes a portion of the entire land ahead at least 50 years.

It's been established that prior to the drop, riders will be taken through a projected "magical" vortex fog screen effect representing "true bayou magic." It's presumed that this scene will feature Mama Odie. If true, it stands to reason that Mama Odie is casting some spell, a spell that just so happens right before the attraction's key drop. What if the drop itself is a continuation of her magic? What if it's not only the thrill element but representational of a transformation?

Makes me wonder how this transformation plays into the lost ingredient storyline... Perhaps this ingredient is something only a frog can recover.

I still have the sneaking suspicion that the “ingredient” is actually “love” or “family” or some other schmaltzy overplayed life lesson that tries to sound deeper than it actually is.

Or mucous.

Big ol’ frog loogies in the food.

Nah. The missing ingredient is profit. This is Disney after all. At the end of the ride we drop into a huge pile of gold in Scrooge McDuck's vault!

I think the secret ingredient is going to be rabbit. Bre’r rabbit. This time he won’t escape from Tiana and the final drop will be Tiana chucking him off the salt dome onto the hardened salty crust of the earth. The final scene will show all the employees enjoying a nice free range rabbit gumbo with hot sauce to spice things up.

I’m sure that’s what it’s going to be…

They should take down the signage. Its adding insult to injury...

What's the plywood box? Also, is structural steel supposed to look all rusty and decayed like that?

I am guessing it is being used to measure the height of the cut. The steel isn't holding up much weight, so that probably isn't an issue.

That rust you’re looking at is just surface rust/oxidation…if you cut that “netting/lathe” in half, you’d notice the rust doesn’t penetrate the steel. If you ever see rebar being used in concrete work, it’s all rusty like that. You’d think to yourself, “Why are they using rusty metal?” It’s fine…

That's the general consensus. Ridiculous though it may be. There's a few bloggers thinking it might be a flower or nectar of some kind. Maybe it's "The Essence of Pure Flavor"

Put a tin can in his hand collecting money cause he lost his job…

You must be confusing them with some guest service oriented company.

Thanks. I wasn’t worried or anything, just asking out of interest.

Yup, it looks worse than it is…

Does Tiana own 50% +1 of the Cooperative or is she just a figurehead?
