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

[Stupido]

Personally, I kinda of love the idea of the missing ingredients being musical critters. In Princess and the Frog, Louis' dream was wanting to play Jazz with the Greats, but not being able to because of the way he looks. It's nice to think that Tiana would be more open minded after her original Bayou Adventure, and help other critters follow their dreams of playing music. Hopefully the final band is a healthy mix of humans and critters to help promote coexistence.

At first I was a little disappointed that the story is very simple. Then I remember that Splash Mountain is just a story about a Fox chasing around a Rabbit so I think this could work well.

This is a pretty good point as well.

You are a a real champ.

Are you hanging out there most of the day to catalogue these updates?

I appreciate it! I can't take all the credit though, as everyone else knows, @DCBaker is a legend documenting the construction as well. I'm glad we are both documenting it.

Your reporting as well continues to be top notch! How long did you have to stand by though to be in that exact spot to get that shot when the creatives rode it?

Thank you! I got to Magic Kingdom around 12:30 the other day when the testing signs went up and stayed in the area the entire time until they were done riding, about a 5 hour long day in the same area... 100% worth it though.

I was worried the storyline was too complex. She was looking for a missing ingredient for a dish to help keep her co-op restaurant afloat, rhetorically, that is. Now, she's just going through the bayou rounding up critters for a band. A much simpler storyline.

What’s that arch thing at the top of the drop?

Looks like rigging for a light effect to me

That’s some dedication!

I'm curious to see what this will look like at night. Could they be using projections to enhance the outside?

 

[Surferboy567]

My thoughts as well. Tiana should have her own indoor attraction that’s more family friendly for all ages imo.

That would have also increased attraction counts and capacity but ya know that would make too much sense

I don’t want to make that call till we see how this goes. New builds however, are always appreciated. This is looking better and better though as we get closer.

I'm a sucker for cute animals playing musical instruments.

I have to say my interest in this has just shot up tremendously knowing we’re not looking for something stupid like “friendship”, “love”, “family”, or “kindness” lol

Honestly… that was my core reason for enjoying the late splash. That and the fun music. I’m MUCH more optimistic now.

Maybe firefly projections? I have no reason to think that would be the case but it would look pretty cool

That would be cool.

State of the art animatronics, original soundtrack, original in-park IP animal characters? Ummm….sign me up!

 

[Vinnie Mac]

Ever since this project was announced I've had a vision of "Gonna Take You There" being played by a band with firefly effects lighting up to the beat of the song and I get goosebumps every time. Looks like there will be a scene very similiar to this. This attraction is gonna be classic

Well…

 

[Surferboy567]

Are they going to do that bioluminescent water thing? Would look cool with some fireflies.

Looking for critters at least turns it back into a fun romp around the bayou. This should have been said a heck of a lot sooner. All we knew is that she was going into her salt mine to look for a "missing ingredient".

Sounds like a change in story to me. The focus was so much on her restaurant and food and the general feedback was that sounded boring. I bet Disney changed course.
