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

[lentesta]

if we all win some lottery to do it via the genie, or some online registration which is a fiasco every time they do some kind of preview thing...should be interesting. Every new attraction gets more and more difficult to win a way into it whether its preview or regular.

Good point. It was my understanding that the multiple weeks of previews would allow for some recovery from those IT issues. The other thing going for us is this is their big release for 2024, so they need a ton of word of mouth.

plus add in the park reservation requirement for certain pass/ticket types etc and its all just too complicated.

if we are indeed turned to frogs, the tension would be not getting stuck that way to be resolved by mama odie saving us and being brought back to humans with a big splash.

EDIT: and if we are frogs, how'd we get that way. did she shrink us only to save us? or could it be a darker source?

I just feel not including the "Friends on the Other Sides" is a major missed opportunity with what projection mapping could do nowadays to represent the evil shadows.

7 foot tall Dr Facilier (because we’re turned into frogs) confirmed.

This was a publically revealed detail from the voice actor of Louis from several weeks ago. He also posted a fanmade POV of a PatF Splash retheme that is nothing like the version we are getting, so who knows.

Edit: Apparently the post has been deleted (probably because of the inaccurate fan video). But here is the "description" that was attached. It was initially pointed out to us by Drew, so credit where credit is due.

I can't take any credit for the information itself, I was just sharing what Michael posted.

The comments about the fence will be stopping soon as they have started to finally cover it today!

I'm a bit iffy on the Louis AA being 7 feet tall (he still takes up a lot of space due to his girth and tail, so perhaps they're including the tail length in the measurement or something). At least if the 3D model in the leaked renders are at the correct scale, he appears considerably shorter. You can sort of compare it next to Tiana's model and the surrounding environment. Unless those are also much larger than they appear too.

But granted, these models may not actually be at their accurate scale in the first place. Especially given the very WIP nature of these renders.

Other than that's he's absolutely going to be a very complex and intricate figure with a lot of axes of motion. And yes should physically appear multiple times throughout the ride.

He would look 7 feet tall if we’re the size of Frogs.

He was about 7 feet tall in the film. When standing next to the folks on the boat in furry outfits, he was as big as they were with the mascot heads.

So weird that they would paint ingredients in it to then cover it up.

Maybe they realized how bad it looked and are finally correcting it .

The metal fence by the drop. Not the fence leading to the lift hill.

Oh, that's disappointing. I always figured the metal fence at the drop wasn't the final product. But that wooden fence, it looks bad and like they are going to keep it looking bad.

Facilier's 7 foot height is due in part to his hat.

Tall animatronics are nothing new. This Br'er Bear was around 6' tall (My friend got evac'd next to him and was the same height, he's 6'2'. Throw in Br'er Fox and the entire set of characters was probably around 10ft

So the idea of a 7' Louie isn't that unthinkable

Here's photos from today - unfortunately I was not using my brain and forgot today is Good Friday so the site was dead with no testing. I went specifically to try to get videos of Charita Carter riding again but no luck.

The queue is looking very close to being done in recent days - lots of plants installed and walkways are looking clean. We should be seeing the infrastructure for the radio show going in soon and audio testing starting shortly after.

Besides that, scaffolding has, once again, gone back up on the left side, there are new marks on the structure at the top of the drop, and some additional theming added to the new walkways.

At around 6pm tonight (during the cavalcade) they were doing some testing. Did not see anyone riding it but empty logs were coming down for about 5-10 mins.

I left too early then... lesson learned. Thank you for the info!
