“Adventure” has become the most cliche word in attraction names. I think someone here suggested “Tiana’s Bayou Splash” which would’ve been so much better.

Well, there is precedent for them changing a name after the ride opens. Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor originally was MILF: Comedy Club, wasn't it? Toy Story Mania changed its name ten years after it opened.

The ride is Bayou Adventure, “Tiana’s” is there as an IP identifier.
When I look at it, Splash Mountain or Bayou Adventure don’t seem that far off from each other. There is nothing monumental with either name, and they both get the job done.

Bayou Adventure is like calling a haunted house “haunted mansion“ and Disney can do better than such generic, comic-book-amusement-park names! Next, they‘ll open a popcorn cart and call it “popcorn cart.”

Crazy talk. They would never do such a thing.

Even I have to admit it’s a silly argument once I think about it. Most of the classics, in particular, have names that are rather on the nose. No one wants Jungle Cruise to be renamed Dwayne’s Jungle Jam: It Rocks! Fondness toward Splash’s name is really just indicative of our fondness for the ride.
No one actually knows what the hell Space Mountain is so we just think, “eh, it was the ‘70s…”

Exactly - Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is not some deviation from the ride name trend. If anything, it’s one of the simpler names they’ve done in a while.

Flowers are going up on the base of the water tower today, following the taped off markings they made previously.

Tiana's Foods will likely have something on the wall in the office labeled "Alumni Snapshot," where they talk about the accomplishments of those who worked for the company. (rearrange the letters in "alumni snapshot"

Terrible name for Guardians.
It's not supposed to be a Tower, let alone Terror. That just brings attention to the ride system and lowers the immersion.
Suggests a simple overlay (which it isn't, it's a full redesign using the old ride system).
Bayou Adventure is fine, albeit falling victim to the overuse of Adventure.

I think Bayou adventure is a horrible name, sounds lame and generic with no inclination of thrill or getting wet. Splash Mountain is iconic and has a place in the ‘Disney mountains’ branding. Guests, especially tweens, want to ‘conquer’ all of the mountains during their visit, and now splash isn’t branded as one even though it still contains the same thrill. Even if they didn’t want to use the old name, at least say ‘Tiana’s Bayou Falls or Tiana’s Bayou Splashdown’ just so people can still think of it as one of the trademark Disney thrills
Guardians has a good name as is. I’m perfectly fine with mission breakout as a name and think it’s cool. I was just proving a point as to what a name could be that told guests ‘look it’s everything you loved about TOT but new and shiny!’ I see your point though, something as drastically different as TOT is to Guardians deserves a completely fresh and new name.

Am I the only one who thinks the mountain/salt mine/salt dome/whatever it's supposed to be now still looks nothing like something you'd see in The Princess and the Frog? Or a bayou?

That’s correct. It does look nice though in the pics so at least there is that!

Very good. I do not think the current Imagineers have the imagination to do this.If we do see this in the attraction, we will know two things:
@imagineer97 invented it.
Imagineers read forums.wdwmagic.com.
