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

We don’t know yet. My opinion was that they would drop Tron’s ILL before SDMT.

I don’t know, Guardians has been running ILL/VQ with no end in sight.

I think Tron will stay on ILL for a long time. I don’t think they will use a VQ for TBA. It will be standby/ILL and 7DMT will shift to Genie+.

TBA will use a VQ. That I am certain of. What will happen with the ILL for 7DMT & Tron is definetly up in the air.

FuturePort82 said that last night Guardians was using standby.

Last night was an after hours event in EPCOT. It switches to standby during those events

Ah I didn't realize that.

Anyone in the parks tonight take a picture of the water in the flume?

Most days I see 7DMT selling out ILLs before Tron. It’s an incredibly popular family coaster that has broad appeal. It’ll stick to ILL before Tron.

A friend of mine sent this to me, very low level compared to the first test, or it was at the same level at one point and drained.

I got a photo of the water last night. I didn't even notice it until I heard someone nearby mention it. I will try to get some more photos today.

The other site (***nt) reported on, and linked, your post, just so you know

Guys, the same question but now more relevant than ever. At this point, considering that the work on the outside in my opinion is almost finished and that inside I don't think they are so far behind, considering that they are starting to do the tests with the water, don't you think that this attraction will certainly be open already at the beginning of summer? I'll be going to the parks mid-to-late July, so I'm optimistic. What do you say?

Mid-to-late July?

No promises, but at this point it seems likely.

 

[stitchangel]

Apparently, the date of the attraction should be announced on the 13th of this month, for the Mardi Gras Celebration, can't wait to have more news.

Must’ve been drained, when I saw it the water level was normal

If it's not open by then, I'd be surprised, but we should know very soon (officially).

My personal theory is if it's not ready by May 24th, then July 1st seems the most likely.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet:

And, for obvious reasons, reopening a water ride in summer and adding capacity to Magic Kingdom for 4th of July crowds would make sense.

[Stupido]

Yeah, my birthday is the last Saturday in July, and I'm getting more and more confident that I'll be spending it with Tiana. Waiting til the 13th to officially book though!

 

[Disney Analyst]

The rumours by some on this board were originally an April-May plan by Disney. While May might still seem a bit soon, it doesn’t feel that out of the realm of possibility if we are already seeing water?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Could water running now also be for the filming of promo material?

They’re testing. A lot of that section was rebuilt.

 

[Drew the Disney Dude]

To say there's a lot of work happening today would be an understatement!

This is the most active I have *ever* seen the site.

There's tons of people working on the queue, painting being done where the water has been testing, flowers being installed, the crane is moving props into the show building, etc.

Very exciting stuff!

I would not be surprised if it opens late May or June, seems to be really coming along.

Wonder how many more hotel bookings they will get due this. As I stated before, it's intriguing for me since I still have a ticket to redeem. Practically would be my last real reason to go to WDW for a long time.
