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

In fact, the flume drop will have us just sliding down 35" tv screens playing a video of water.

I wouldn't be shocked. And btw if they aren't going to use that birdhouse give it to me for God sakes

With the current price of plywood they probably blew half the budget just protecting the flume.

As a worker at home Depot I concur

Certain attractions and offerings will not be available during the event, including without limitation, Critter Country, Mickey’s Toontown including Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Sailing Ship Columbia and Tarzan's Treehouse. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be subject to availability, which may vary throughout the night and is not guaranteed.

Again, I don’t know if Tarzan’s Treehouse (or whatever it’s going to be called) will be open before Throwback Nite, so not sure why it’s listed on the latter and not the former. This may be attributable to sloppiness or inconsistency between the descriptions for these events. Still, might hint at a late April closing date for Splash West.

Tarzan's Treehouse is going to become the Adventureland Treehouse.

That’s similar to what Bass Pro does as it’s bowling alleys.
They project water over the lanes and thanks to motion sensors, there’s a ripple effect as the ball rolls down towards the pins.

The AI fish actually scatter away from it.

"Return to Oz" attraction confirmed

From that site's Twitter. Looks like the grass is starting to be removed from the exterior.

I'm surprised Br'er Rabbit and the Splash Mountain name have held on this long

Not sure what the plan might be for grass/plants, but it looks like they're removing grass from this one specific spot (which, coincidentally, is depicted as grassless in the D23 concept model):

What you circled looks like the right of the flume before slippin falls, which already lacked grass.

What I circled in blue looks to be the area they are removing grass.

Maybe think of it more like surgery:

Sure but they’re amputating one of my favorite body parts and I didn’t ask them to. It’s like American Horror Story.

I hear that. A wonderful ride full of top-notch animatronics, music, personality and fun is being replaced by an off-putting preachy apology for all of Disney's imagined sins. What an astronomical crock.

That's a gross mischaracterization.

There are so many more sins to apologize for!!

TBA is an apology for the switch from chicken tenders to chicken nuggies, right? I’m still not okay, by the way.

top-notch animatronics

This I think will still be part of the new ride at least (I know, shocking to say the least). Whether the other qualities remain in the new version remains to be seen and will be somewhat subjective. Heard good things, but won't be getting my hopes up until I see/hear more.

I think it would be really cool if they added something to the exterior that was always in motion, like visible machinery or something. (I'm secretly hoping for an outdoor AA of Louis playing a trumpet!)

It will have excellent AAs. I worry there won’t be many, however.

Such is the issue of most new Disney rides. At the end of the day, leaves not much to look at.

Bob is like “They told me I need to get rid of some parts of Fox. So I’m starting with B’rer.”

That was part of my response, I was told it would still retain a large population as well.
