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

[JustInTime]

Looks incredibly uncanny and off model.

There is nothing about this you’d be pleased with at this point.

Well done Disney, the animatronic looks amazing, i sure this will go down as a MK classic, just like splash, now head over to Epcot and work your magic on imagination pavilion ( if josh lets you that is ) looking forward to riding TBA in end oct

Would rather see them upgrade the Frozen AA's before that..

Incorrect. I am looking forward to seeing the animal animatronics and listening to the music.

Particularly if they retheme Pecos Bill to Tiana's Place or Palace. Then they really do have a New Orleans Square area.

Then how would BTM fit in the Bayou? It just can't be Frontierland/New Orleans Square/Frontierland..

I was about to say, “even the biggest cynic would approve of that AA” but then you arrived and proved me wrong.

I'm pleased to see what they are showing us.
But - how cool would it have been if this were a Facilier AA?
How great would it be if they were showing us some "threatening" element of this ride?

OK, I'm coming round to this project now. While she moves in that clip like she's drunk, the AA looks great.

I will expect Frozen faces to get updated to the same degree eventually.

Frontierland would still be the outside walkway next to the Rivers of America. Or New Orleans Square doesn't necessarily have to be a distinct land but an area that is part of Frontierland. NFL and Storybook Circus are somewhat distinct but are still considered part of Fantasyland at the same time.

It's exactly what we should expect though, isn't it?
A character like that is easier to do than the Jack Sparrow AA, or the Shaman AA.

PATF was on over the weekend so I decided to watch it. Facilier isn't really the ultimate bad guy but the shadow demon, or whatever his name is. He and his shadow minions could be threats especially in the lower area that used to be the Laughing Place.

On the note of construction timelines. Seeing as how long much of New Fantasyland took, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway I think it is easy to see that Covid-19 had little to do with how long Tron or Cosmic Rewind.

That is fair. We all figured this would have the Belle like AA since the concept art image of her in the boat first showed up. Awesome to see it, but not unexpected.

 

[Indy_UK]

I think people are genuinely underestimating what Disney is about to do.

Which is ?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Which is ?

Four words. Chocolate. Covered. Bacon. Cupcake.

I'm still holding out hope that there's some impending danger in this ride that we are saved from by Mama Odie.

Well. It is Shrove Tuesday. Maybe she IS drunk today

It's another, "stare-at-the-audience-and-gesture," figure, as featured in Frozen or Avatar or Resistance. That's what Disney produces now instead of the kind of fully realized AA scenes that made masterpieces of Pirates and HM and the Epcot dark rides.

Didn't Disneyland have a New Orleans Street in Frontierland in the early days before New Orleans Square was carved in? In a way, this could be a cool throwback. New Orleans was a port and gateway into the Frontier, so it works well.

That's what I was going to say hahaha!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I'm really going to miss Splash Mountain, but this Animatronic looks incredible and makes me very excited to see the other ones. Also, after seeing this I'm a lot more at ease thinking about the future of AA's with Disney if these are the new models with the actual faces and no projections anymore. I'm so happy that is over.
