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

[TheCoasterNerd]

I will say, I've been hearing Memorial Day for Cast previews. Don't know how accurate that is, even my source admits that's a rumor within the company, but it is entirely possible

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Why would the cast members need training? It is the same track/guide that was there for Splash Mountain.

Since they haven't worked it in a year and a half, they need to relearn how to operate it. Plus with different scenes/AAs, they need to relearn safety measures for evacs.

They've just been scheduled, although unsure of for when, but they only need 4 days

I wonder how much different the training is from the previous attraction?
Did they change the control panels in the re theme?

There were some ride control system updates that should help prevent as many breakdowns as Splash suffered.

Which is good. My friend College Programmed Splash years ago and he said it was a miracle if it went two days in a row without a meltdown.

The number of emergency evacs (and the process to evac) became a serious problem in its later years.

Any how many years did it operate?

I remember that in the months leading up to its closure it was going down nearly daily.

Given that they’ve let this slip, I imagine we will get a date this week. Surprise some moms with free tickets to the opening or something!

What about the Dads?!?

It's been "a minute" since I've been involved in anything like this, but at least last I heard a CMs ability to work in a specific role/location (known as "proficiencies") expires after 6 months of non-use, requiring retraining before being able to do the role again.

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Even on its final day, it was down in the morning, no?

It went down for about 10 minutes that night. It had evac'd the previous two nights, though.

For whoever'd been asking

Bob's ego wants him to announce the opening date tomorrow. We'll see if his handlers allow that to happen.

Many of us want Bob's ego to announce the opening date tomorrow.

Why? We all know it's going to be open within 2 months. Unless you're waiting to make last-minute plans, you already have a trip booked if it's that important to you (The royal "you", not you specifically).

Curiosity. Anticipation. Why not if they know the date.

Does that answer?

Fair.

They know the date, they just think that they're oh-so-clever by not releasing it yet. "Tee hee! Aren't we clever for making people wait??"

Yes. Was.

Thanks for italicizing my text. Very needed.
