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

[celluloid]

There’s actually a big hot sauce market globally. I can see Disney partnering with a big one (Tabasco, Lousiana, Crystal) for a Tiana one

They rarely even let Vekoma or other manufacturers brag on their trades.

I imagine we would get something custom to sell at a higher profit margin or not allow such branding unless paid sponsorship if they go with hot sauce sales.

It's looking finished and nice. Splashers won't agree, but the tree trunk on top always looked dead to me, like it was struck by lightning. Sure it was intimidating, but it was also from a film that few have seen. I've seen SOTS and don't seem to recall the stump being a huge part of the movie.

I'm pretty sure it IS a dead stump. I mean there's nothing growing on it in either the film or the ride.

Exactly. It was supposed to be ominous as it is based on the antagonist's lair in the story. Whether you saw the film or not, you knew what it was supposed to be, clearly as Roger's example shows.

Like complaining that the Tower of Terror “looks really run down”.

I have a feeling Disney will go the cheapest way possible for maximum profit and we know Iger loves China so..

The ride vehicles will absolutely have received maintenance attention by the time Tiana’s opens. They’re not risking a log sinking in their expensive new attraction.

What new attraction? They just repurposed an old attraction in lieu of constructing a 'new' attraction.

This is just a glorified (and way over priced) attraction maintenance. Once again, not an ADDITIONAL attraction, just a renovated one.

I will admit, the costly maintenance for the old Splash mountain and the lack of spare parts, is probably the REAL reason Splash was re skinned to Tiana and at the same time, they could do some social justice while they were at it,

Peppers, food co-op, salt mine …. The convoluted backstory nobody wanted. Especially not little kids hoping to see the characters they love, in the outfits they recognize, singing the songs that are already embedded in their brains.

That being said, everything does look really great so far.

I guess I’m not sad at the thought of walking away from the ride without Going Down The Bayou stuck in my head

This ride looks great from every angle except straight on

Meanwhile, Epic around the corner on another site has already begun testing for multiple rides. It looks pretty incredible.

EPIC will be well...... EPIC, but I think MK will retain the top spot and I think Disney knows this and this is why Disney will do nothing to react to EPIC until they see numbers change.

Please be serious. It's a new attraction.

It's certainly not still the old attraction. As many in this thread are only too happy to remind everyone.


It's not exactly true that they repurposed an old attraction "in lieu of" constructing a new one - the Brers were being made to vacate the ride regardless of what, if anything, took their place. Let's be glad they kept the facility and are turning it into a new ride instead of just razing the whole thing.

It’s a very costly re skin. That’s it. In my opinion, "new", is an additional attraction that ADDS capacity to the park.

I have a question. It was mentioned a time ago that Dr Facilier may not be in the new ride. Is that still the ongoing rumor? I thought he was great in Princess and the Frog and had a great song in the movie.

I have a feeling it's just a rumor and he'll be a surprise

I think there will be a "nod" to him and that's it.

 

[Squishy]

Has anyone asked the question yet why is Tiana foods advertising on a abandoned vegetated water tower next to a salt dome?

So, by your definition Cosmic Rewind wasn't a new attraction because it didn't add capacity to Epcot, it just replaced another attraction?
Besides, when Tiana's opens, Magic Kingdom will have gained an additional attraction as both Tron and TBA will be open at the same time, thus adding capacity to the park
