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

[DCBaker]

So will there be no announcement today?

The shareholder call has concluded with no announcement.

 

[headintheclouds]

I feel like that left me with more questions than answers.

 

[Doberge]

I feel like I was promised today.

Guessing they pulled the Josh video announcement out of the presentation.

Yeah…strange.

 

[Doberge]

I feel like it's for the best. Announcements for shareholders is lame when it's more fun for everyone to announce it any number of other ways.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Weird that they didn't even mention this ride.

Agreed so bummed.... Still just a waiting game I guess and definitely feeling like summer means July

The building on the bottom right of the poster is the same building from my finale leak. Also we get the date for Magic Kingdom tomorrow, I don't believe we'll get a date for Disneyland but we shall see. Disneyland is ramping up interior and exterior, and will be ready and testing by late August early September. Bayou in California will be ready for November.

What time do we get this announcement? lol

 

[GoneForGood]

Likely next Tuesday, everyone.
That's when we get the final Critter batch...if not then, who knows.

 

[mattpeto]

Yeah…strange.

The fact they didn't mention TBA at all makes me think it was a late removal. Otherwise they would have hinted it's coming to both WDW and DL this year. They zipped around the parks globally and ignored WDW.

They just might need more time before committing to an opening.

It was strange because he had questions about plans moving forward. Why not address a ride you’re opening this year?

Wait Shrek’s Swamp Adventure would actually be a really good reskin of Splash.
You could keep the tree on top.
The majority of the ride would be silent because we don’t want to wake Shrek up and annoy him.
When we get to the top of the lift Donkey pops up and yells something, which wakes up Shrek. He comes out, sees us, and yells

“WHAT ARR YEW DEWING IN MAH SWAMMMMMPPPPP?????”

Then he throws us off the mountain.

In the finale, every character from every Shrek movie dances to Believer, and then it ends.

10/10

I mean, I’d ride it.

Exactly...trouble in the bayou?

Then release a picture from one of the completed sets! It’s bizarre to ignore it altogether.

Apparently they pulled a new Tomorrowland annocument last second at the last D23. Why are they always scrambling like this now? Or maybe our insiders just suck. Where's Spirit at?

Looks like Brer Fox and Brer Bear are causin’ some kinda commotion downstream…

Everything in the Kingdom Keepers books was true and the animatronics are revolting!

I think because one ride doesn't move the needle much when investors are looking for bigger plans, in light of Epic Universe. Followup question might be "is that all you've got?"

Decisions like when to announce a project come down to marketing decisions. And marketing at Disney is notoriously mercurial.
