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

[Drew the Disney Dude]

Photos from today - more color is being added to the queue barn.

I just noticed that they painted the poles in the queue blue to match the other ones. They look a lot better now.

Looks like some strong flood lights. Other times we’ve see gates in the railing it’s to access something. Seems like we’re waiting on a big piece of set dressing.

Hopefully something interesting like the HR office or Accounts Payable.

Imagine being so racist that you feel empowered to repeatedly share your overtly racist thoughts with strangers discussing a log flume ride.

It is sad to see but unfortunately not surprising with some of the comments that have been posted on this thread already.

This is like when I attempt to cook and keep on adding a bunch of different seasoning in hopes to make it better but it just keeps getting worse.

Does Disneyland even have a barn for its queue ?

It’s not exactly the same but yes and if they go this route I think it would look even worse at Disneyland.

aw shoot I loved the doors at the top of the new stairs being brown - it looked so good! Purple still looks good, but nowhere near as good

if there were some woodgrain coming through, like a color wash instead of straight paint, i think it'd look better. that purple is too flat.

In the next picture, the purple on the window frames appears more as you describe. Maybe they’ll “distress” it on the doors too?

Safe to assume they will, the rest of the paint work shows the wood through it.

Why no ILL? So if I buy G+ in advance I'll be guaranteed TBA?

The G+ for this is probably going to sell out at. 7 am for a while, especially since there’s no other ride in MK that really is a “must get” first thing in the morning. So you’re not “guaranteed,” no.

Was discussing this with friends outside of here but I figured it would be appropriate. Here's how long the conversion from Splash to Bayou took compared to other rethemes/replacements

How long did Toad -> Pooh take?

I don’t have a problem with the barn mural or the colors. To me it goes well with the overall attraction but that is just my opinion.

Perhaps? But there’s plenty of other MK FPs that are highly sought after (Space, Thunder, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan, Mansion). I’m not so sure everyone would give up an early pass for these just to get a later in the day pass for Tiana

Maybe, MK has never had a singularly popular headliner on G+ like this before. Once it’s been open a while and normalizes, sure, but it’s not like someone can’t get everything you just listed above as their second ride of the day after the 2 hour cooldown right now (except on the busiest days I guess). Thunder & Mansion especially you could grab as your second ride and probably get a return time about an hour out. I think this is going to behave like Slinky on steroids in the beginning.

I’ve got a trip coming up where my last park day is the 28th. I’m going to try to grab this right at 7 am with G+ but I’m not kidding myself and figure I have maybe a 50/50 shot depending on how fast my internet connection is at the hotel that morning. I’ve already prepared my kids that we probably won’t get to ride it. I’m not even going to bother trying to get the VQ.

its sad (for the kids especially) that all of this is that difficult. It shouldn't have to be.

I agree with you generally, but in this specific instance I just had the bad luck to have this attraction's opening day be the last day of my trip. Too bad they couldn't have opened it a week earlier. Oh well. I'll remain cautiously optimistic that my AT&T cell service will be fast enough to grab a G+ reservation.

Sep 7 1998. --- June 4 1999 -- 270 days.

I still don't like the art work of the mural itself, though I do understand what they were going for.
However, it's all coming together nicely - and these colors tie it all in.
I was afraid the mural would remain jarring, but hoped when things came together that the focus would be off of it.
That's what is happening now, as it's all working quite well.

That was also completely retracked and used new ride vehicles (with new technology). This is the same track and same ride vehicles/ride system. The changes are just cosmetic, and they changed out the animatronics.
