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

[ToTBellHop]

So, it's fine when Tiana says that I am the special ingredient, but when Trader Sam says it there's a problem? Pfft...

He let me know he finally wants to have my wife and I for dinner. Psyched!

Sorry if I wasn't the first to this one...

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

she's too young to understand that reference.

^ This. What? Please explain

It's really looking fantastic, a proper redo if you ask me. I just really hope all these new changes are properly maintained and consistent. Which also makes me wonder if the ride may be down for longer during maintenance season. There's an awful lot more than was was previously there, and given the track record on Splash, I hope they can really maintain this experience.

 

[MisterPenguin]

I half wonder if they're going to do some sort of opening day skit of the water being turned on by a character via a valve like they did for the opening of Splash. Then again, if they're trying to distance themselves from that ride as much as possible. Maybe have Mama Odie "magic" the waterfall into flowing.

How about a rapping dance troupe singing the Almost There Rap?!

It’s a song from the time of the Phoenicians.

I googled it, it's some song from the 90s, idk it either.

Interesting we go bayou-esque in the sign vs continuing the idea we’re at a her business.

I guess it’s in the bayou side

Disney has pretty much stopped caring about theming in the Frontierland area so why should this sign be any different I guess

I’m not thanking them for it.

Today’s kids actually listen to OUR music! My sons report all the 5th grade boys sing “I Want it That Way” in the locker room!

Granted, modern pop music is trash, so I don’t blame them.

Can confirm. It’s much better than anything written now. Guardians of the Galaxy helped spread awareness. And Billy Joel is very popular right now.

I feel old

Hope I don’t break my back in the bayou. Maybe they can replace CB(M)J with an Urgent Care if it fails.

By the way, someone asked if the "WELCOME To all who come to this happy place" banner across the cavern entrance into the finale was still there. I was able to just see from this new ride signage photo that it is indeed there. Unfortunately...

I personally think that sign is a nice touch.

I'm posting this for those that are exhausted by the nitpicking and constant negativity. There are plenty of those out there that are excited about this new revamped attraction.

The art and build of the dioramas looks fantastic. Not so sure about the story but hey, it is for kids.

The bright lights are unfortunate, LED lighting is a scourge on humanity.

There's another reason why WDW's Splash was superior to Disneyland. No rap music on its opening day celebration...

 

[monothingie]

Well if it’s any consolation, most of the fancy stuff and special effects will be broken in less than year, probably to never be fully repaired.

Enjoy TBA for the next 30 years!

“Well you know it is a thrill when you go downhill…”

That video will forever be comedy gold.

PJ Morton is the artist who wrote Special Spice, the original song used in TBA.

I incorrectly identified him earlier, so wanted to make sure his correct name was posted.

 

[JustInTime]

People are right, the old Laughin' Place scene now looks so barren and empty compared to . . .

. . . oh, um . . .

Big improvement

Thank you Phoenicians!

Disney calling us “friends” makes me nervously remember things
