The first set of indoor track could use one additional scene. Two would be ideal.

With that in mind... yeah. It was probably intended to be a part of early "Beyond Big Thunder" development. I'm convinced that has been a project they've been thinking about for years now, even before Bayou Adventure was rushed to announcement in 2020.
Capacity in MK has been an issue for a long time, and I'm guessing Imagineers have gone through countless concepts of what they could put back there to expand the park. This was likely just one of the ideas for an original attraction and when people on Twitter started pressing for a retheme of Splash, corporate doubled down and jumped the gun, forcing Imagineers to focus on this project instead.
I remember there was somebody on Twitter who rendered their concept on Rollercoaster Tycoon/Planet Coaster of the PatF retheme and it started trending. Then *coincidentally* they showed off the concept art a few months after. This was never Imagineering's idea, but rather a direct response from the company that they pressed on them. It was an ingenuine effort from the beginning, and I believe that is why people like Baxter jumped off early in development.

See that is what is so interesting!
Every review I've seen on Twitter (by people who have ACTUALLY ridden it) has been relatively positive. They're not "shills", they're not "WOKE DEI enthusiasts," but they are normal park guests riding with their kids and reviews have been glowing.
Maybe we shouldn't take everyone who has the word "Br'er" in their usernames' opinions at face value?
I thought it is just CM previews?

Literally the best thing to ever happen to the park because it got the original back.

I think this was covered a few pages back, TBA is sure to be a fun and popular ride, but that’s a different conversation from what we’re doing here which is comparing it to what it replaced.
Space Mtn is one of my favorite rides at WDW, that said it pales in comparison to Velocicoaster (my favorite ride anywhere), if we were to compare them here it would probably sound like I dislike Space but the reality is I love it, it just doesn’t match Velocicoaster.
The unthemed log flume at our local park is fun and people love it, that doesn’t mean it matches the level of the flumes at the Disney parks though.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
What story?

It is, and they are about as reliable as movie bloggers posting twitter reactions after they got an invite to an early screening of a movie that won't be out for another couple weeks to the general public.
Except that in this case, you don't have to wait another several weeks to see what this looks like. Since Disney posted a nearly full video themselves, and didn't prevent other riders from recording it themselves. We can see all of the dead empty space, sparse AA's and simplistic moving props, awkward CGI character video projections, dumb dialog, lackluster finale song, and all lack of tension or threat.

That's exactly it, this steaming pile will do good with the average guest because they don't care so long as a recognizable face is plastered into an attraction. This isn't a ride for the superfans of the parks and their theming, it's for the parents who will put PatF on loop for their kids on D+.

Did you guys/gals see the Forbes article

Disney Spoils Its Own Ride And Pays The Price
Disney's theme park design division is famous for its secrecy. So when it posted a full video of its newest attraction a month before it launched it seemed to be the dawn of a whole new world. It may not last for long.

They can really help fix some of the issues by adding some more simple not fully movable critters in the dead areas of the ride.
They can start by doing that with the Anaheim version and slowly coming back and adding to the WDW version.
or since Anaheim usually has a bigger following fix that one before it opens and let WDW ride since their majority of visitors or tourist

After encouragement from several folks over on the Disneyland forum, I just finished watching 4 hours tonight of that Jenny young lady on YouTube and her brutal and masterful takedown of the Galactic Starcruiser. That young lady is sharp!
I now can not wait to hear her summary and thoughts, including 2021-2023 public statements from WDI executives and Parks Blog posts, about Tiana's Bayou Adventure. It they aren't already scared of her in Glendale, they should be.

Although some people say it was because of some possible controversy i really doubt it.
i have a feeling that it was because the lead imagineer wanted to focus on Tianas accomplishments of a strong women and therefore make the ride a sequel to the movie and just couldn’t figure out how to incorporate him into the whole convoluted story about spices.
By the way i find it interesting that depending on what story i read everyone has different ideas of what the story for the ride is.
The Forbes story says the ride is about Tiana looking for musicians for the party and then towards the end of it they mention something about finding the missing spice.
I can of understand the confusion because thru the ride Tiana just pops in and says something about inviting the band but then at the same time the finale is about us being the special spice
So what is it, seems like no one really knows

LMAO I appreciate it. There’s a few folks here trying to be adults, including some I disagree with. Its just all lost in a lot of noise right now that will hopefully settle with time.

And you know what maybe those parents and their kids should be allowed to have that.
It isn’t like these parks aren’t spilling over the brim with attractions and pieces of the company’s history for the superfans to enjoy. It’s not like there’s not an insane amount of options for super fans to go to to find what they want out of Disney.
Not everything is made for the super fans. Nor should it be. Sometimes the populist option is the necessary one. We’re not the only ones who visit Disney and we shouldn’t expect to be who Disney caters to all the time.

Haunted Mansion is still there though, just right around the corner

Splash Mountain was always a better attraction than Haunted Mansion. HM is great, but it is not AS great. The tampering that began at the Mansion in 2007 has also gradually made it worse over time. From Constance, to the exterior queue alterations, the CGI hitchhiking ghosts, and now an inappropriately placed figure next to the endless hallway. One that screws up not only that scene, but the entire progression of the ride. Now Disneyland's is receiving additional alterations of its own, and I don't hold out any hope they will be executed in a tasteful manner.
