It's going to be interesting, once TBA opens to the public, to see the reaction from the kids after they ride it the first time. Any kid that loves PATF probably has that image in their mind of Tiana in her dress, with Naveen by her side, and Dr. Facilier doing bad guy things. This attraction has basically none of that. I'm sure there will be questions to parents like "Why wasn't Tiana wearing her princess dress?" "Where is Naveen?" "Where is Facilier?" "Why can I hear Ray singing? Isn't he dead?" This re-theme is obviously aimed at the younger audience, so their reactions and opinions on the ride may be the most telling as far as if this ride will last.

The related merchandise looks nice.
Someone made a effort here artwork wise.
The refreshed interior of the Critter Co-Op also looks quite nice.

It does irk me however that they keep using the tag line 'Join The Party!' for the products and marketing related to this experience.
Some of us are still in mourning and this is NO party by any means.
Just rubs me the wrong way all things considered.

But i like the look of some of the merch.
Let's see if it actually sells to Guests...and not just the local Ebay flippers.

Some of you have mourned the loss of a ride longer than I mourned the loss of a grandma.

This is the type of scene that should have been throughout the ride, I just don't get it. Also that merch piece with tiana and naveen standing at the tower could have been a ride scene as well, instead we get no naveen. (not counting barely existing in finale). This is the style and effort the ride should have been populated with, they got everything backwards.
Yes, little things like this would flesh out the lives of the critters on the ride.

Probably the closest thing I’ve seen to an ”average” guest review so far, what I mean by that is it’s clear from his comments he had a general idea of the changes but hadn’t followed it closely enough to know the details… and he completely missed the “find a band” storyline.

I also think this is similar to what the average guest will likely think of the ride, he really enjoyed it but found it too dark and didn’t understand the story. Overall I’d call this a fair and balanced review.

Something has been in my mind. IDK if anyone else has noticed it, but the water emitters at the top of the hills seem to be turned off more than they are on in pictures and videos of the ride. Most visibly, the water for the big waterfall / last drop is often vacant.

All of this makes me wonder… does the water running down the hills cause possible downtime, or is it a result of downtime (like the parrot on Miss Adventure Falls that doesn’t like to be powered off and on)?

I don't suppose I can fairly give an opinion until I actually experience it, but no music from the film?!?! Holy smokes! PaTF has an awesome soundtrack! If ever there was a ride you could book report, this could have been it!
