I will almost guarantee they made absolutely no change to the trackHas me nervous about the care for staging the space inside and on the ride path. It is more than just rip out old and place in new things to look at.

The fact that they are still logs going thru the bayou is ridiculous and lazy/cheap imagineering. If they are re-imagining the attraction, they should re-imagine the whole thing.
I have the same concern regarding much of the fake foliage that was installed, a lot of which already flutters even in a light breeze.
I am curious whether the banner is made of a material that only LOOKS flimsy but is actually rigid.

good point, will be interesting to see if anything has been done about that.Well…if the new ride acts like the old ride… they could always be retconned as Sinker Cypress.
agree, a year from now its going to be looking faded and tangled (what is their plan b for tropical weather), are they stock piling extra mounds of it to have on hand?),..just wondering what their long term plan is on the maintenance of it all because its certainly going to require a lot more than splash ever did...,and once in the hands of ops......we know how that goes.I have the same concern regarding much of the fake foliage that was installed, a lot of which already flutters even in a light breeze.

Eh, give it a year or two in the Florida sun, hopefully once it becomes faded, Disney will just be cheap and paint the whole barn one color.After seeing the exterior nearing completion and the sneak peak at the animatronics this week I’m feeling better about this re-theme everyday, the mural is the one thing I still don’t like.
I think it’s just the square shape that doesn’t work, it’s such a jarring contrast where it ends, I love the murals they’ve done in Epic (at Potter) because they blend into their surroundings so well, Tiana’s mural looks out of place. I hope it’s not done but as more and more time goes by I’m worried this may be the finished product. Not the end of the world if we end up with an out of place mural but it would be disappointing because the rest of the attraction is looking amazing.
It's been ridiculously easy to piece together what the general progression of the attraction based on officially released information. Given the fact that we know the ride path, there isn't much room to throw a hail mary that gives the ride "it's edge".So you're assuming.
Got it.
Absolutely stunning!!

Once they park a couple of circus wagons flanking the entrance it will fit right inThe Tianas Foods / Main Entrance signs just look so out of place
To clarify (bc I do understand your points):So you're saying the 'early hype' is the problem? The problem with the Yeti was caused by a physicality issue surely? I'm 100% certain that had Joe Rhodes not spoken about it, that we'd still be in the same position we are now with the Yeti. It was 100% a physical problem, rather than hype that created the issue.
As you say "I understand they have next to nothing in common physically", meaning the only thing left to compare is what somebody says about it. As what somebody said about the Yeti had nothing to do with the problems, what's said about this also shouldn't have any bearings on the reliability of it then surely?
I suppose an option would therefore be to not try making any large animatronics because there were problems with another large animatronic built many years previously? That would mean not trying to ever improve because the last time Disney tried that by building the Yeti is eventually failed to deliver what was expected? The problem with that logic is that we'd be stuck without improvements if we never sought to better and improve what went before?
This thread has kind of gone from "There won't be enough animatronics and they won't be as good" to now somehow saying even though they have nothing in common physically and the animatronics look more advanced, that they might not work because Disney has hyped it up which is the only real similarity by your own admission.
It's kind of like saying "The roller coaster will only be impressive if it works", that applies to everything be it coasters or animatronics. If we take away the physical similarities which you just have, all that's left is the hype. Most people were complaining that we didn't know enough about this attraction upgrade, in effect that Disney weren't telling us enough. Now Disney is saying it's great and take a look at these animatronics, it's like that's being turned into a possible negative.
The exterior in its entirety feels that way -- so many incongruous elements. The signage is particular egregious as it looks like a giant sticker when a period appropriate design would just be painted. Taking cheap shortcuts looks cheap.The Tianas Foods / Main Entrance signs just look so out of place
