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

[monothingie]

I’m not sure about this- the imagineers in the logs aren’t wearing hard hats. If the show scenes were still an active construction zone, they would most likely be wearing them. I’m chalking up the lack of an announcement to either minor technical difficulties that need to be ironed out or Peltz, as some people have said.

It is a good possibility that people test riding the attraction were required to remove their hard hats for safety prior to the final drop. You certainly don’t want a hard hat flying loose and injuring the person behind you. Same reason why you’re advised to secure you hats and loose personal items prior to riding these types of rides (including Splash).

To zoom out a bit, given the treatment of the flume itself during major show element installation, I don't believe the ride system would even be operable with that work still underway.

FWIW, I think today's non-annoumcement has everything to do with cycle and cadence. I'm aware of no major delays threatening the timeline.

Could the opening day be announced tomorrow during the debut of this YouTube Imagineering series?

Date tomorrow?

 

[Starship824]

Date tomorrow?

I'm guessing it'll be in the article relieving the final critters next week but at this point who knows.

In the corner of this image there is an animatronic figure that has a similar body shape to that of Louis the alligator. The video also teased the introduction of a "new character" perhaps in audio animatronic form. We will see tomorrow...

What did they do to Tiana?!

And people thought this ride would lack conflict

What did they do to Tiana?!

She insisted on testing out her flume ride even though the scaffolding was still over the drop (like what almost happened to Michael Eisner in 1988)

I don’t know…her head still looks in pretty good shape…?
Maybe Br’er Bear knocked her body CLEAN OFF her head…?!?!?!

I'm from NJ so yes.

Usually for us in Jersey, we got a “guy”…

I was confused why this was on YouTube, but this is absolutely why.
Publicity.

I still say that “Ralphie” looks suspiciously like Miguel.
