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

“They’re going to fix the logs” feels wish-casty in the same way that the salt mine stuff was just going to be negligible backstory which wouldn’t manifest in or near the attraction.

Splash Mountain last received a major overhaul in 2013. It was in even worse condition then than it was in 2022.

For another log specific example, lap bars were installed in early 2011 and it took less than one month. That was a much more substantial and time consuming project than a new coat of paint (and did require a good amount of testing, unlike a repaint).

I assure you. The logs were worse in 2020s than ever before. As evident by serious safety critical sinking.

That happened more than once.

I’m pretty sure when Frozen Ever After opened it was pretty evident that nothing was done to the boats besides putting them in storage for a while. Beyond taking off the rabbits I wouldn’t be shocked if the same occurred here.

And some touch-up paint. Maybe.

It needed a striking willow tree.

Or a few. This would be a nice, subtle addition. I think part of my hang-up with the mound of green is that it lacks larger foliage to break it up. Some strategically placed willows would help. I don't think it needs one at the tippy-top, but having a few throughout would give it another textural layer and add some visual interest.

Or maybe one that whomps.....

There needs to be some wind in that willow tree.

Wrong coast but very interesting.

Haven't followed this in a while and I know this is Disneyland, but what am I looking at here? Tunnel immediately after Slippin' Falls drop?

Photos from around the area today. Some vines and moss have been added to the rockwork on the left side, along with the windows being blocked out at the shop.

I definitely got Moana vibes from some of those pictures!

Still not as good looking as Splash. IMHO

That's the truth. That's actual.

While it's not regionally accurate, a weeping willow does lend itself to the bayou vibe.
*Ignore the smokestack shack, I was just toying around with an idea that didn't quite land.

 

[JoeCamel]

Is that a hidden mickey or Sylvester the cat above the drop or am I too deep in the cups?

Great pic but Ugh! Like a green puckered... bundt cake.

While it's not regionally accurate, a weeping willow does lend itself to the bayou vibe.

My quick interwebbing says that weeping willows were introduced in the U.S. in the late 1700s.

They are 'hardy' in zones 4-10, which includes all of Louisiana.

Finding other pictures of weeping willows in the region is exhausting since the Spanish Moss makes every tree look like a weeping willow.

I guess it would makes sense to add a few throughout. Maybe they'll add some to the queue.

Who on earth cares if the existing caves have white crystals on the walls or not?

That looks cool, but it would have the opposite of the effect. A small tree makes it look taller and it needs to look smaller.
