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

[Disstevefan1]

What do you think needed fixing underneath?

Whatever they chopped away when they erased all references to Splash probably left unsightly damage. Its faster/cheaper to just cover with greenery.

Are there update photos back more in the thread that show damage to the facade before the greenery was installed?

With how much it rains there i can’t imagine this is a thing. But i also didn’t read through the whole thread

It’s not a thing. There’s no damage being covered.

There was no damage. Anything that WAS removed (i.e. the tree stump being the biggest example) was patched up appropriately before any additional greenery was added.

When I say damage, I mean aesthetically, its cheaper/faster to cover with greenery than re design, sculpt, paint, whatever.

I am sure whatever is under the greenery is structurally sound and can hold up to the rain.

It is sculpted and painted.

It is sculpted and painted.

And covered with greenery

So the overdone greenery was intended. it looks.... Interesting. And to me, fluffy.

Art/models they released next to progress photos

As far as comparisons go between the digital rendering shown at D23 2022 and the final product, it's fairly accurate (if not slightly better). The handcrafted model looks different, though it is based of the Disneyland version.

All that being said, the general consensus from the D23 showing from both optimists and detractors alike was "what happened?!". This was when the concerns for most started to arise.

I stand corrected! Thanks!

All the over done greenery was intended It does look fluffy and thereby inviting like a pillow at bedtime

 

[JenniferS]

Well that's good, given that it's trying to look different from Splash

Unpopular opinion here, but I didn’t care for the look of Splash’s exterior. I’ve only seen pics of Tiana’s makeover/takeover, but I far prefer this new look.

The greenery in the source film (or at least the good voodoo greenery that comes from Odie's magic) is indeed shown to be fairly flossy, downy, or whatever.

It does look like the greenery of the salt mound. That's good.

Over in DL the Briar Patch sign is gone. It was the last public trace of Br'er Rabbit in Disneyland. I'd say it counts as a construction update

Maybe Br'er Rabbit will end up in the pet cemetery ala Mr. Toad.

So I walked by it yesterday. All the "clay" and briars still on the old gift shop still remind me of Splash.

There’s still at least one reference at Disney World. I won’t say where because Disney might decide to go to an often overlooked area and find it.

It could definitely use more browns but I will hold off judgement till I see the finished product.
