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

Is there a reason they need 12 CM's to tell people it isn't running??

That's probably all the CM's staffing the ride doing something while park ops attempts to fix whatever is wrong. Just a guess.

You're right, it just looks odd.

I don't know if that was necessary?... but saw this problem coming,,Disney should have pushed this back, the writing was on the wall.

I have guests there this morning and absolutely no movement. I’m an AP myself, but most APs have unreasonable expectations (IE: being catered to).

I’m attending the D23 event next weekend and don’t feel confident.

Finally, an antagonist!

You can hear a guy in the boat saying, "A dragon in the bayou!"

 

[JohnD]

was thinking the same, nothing else to do I guess with it down.

That's exactly it. It's their shift. So they all come out front to give you a not-so-subtle visual cue that the ride is down. This occurs at every attraction when a ride is down.

Except many posts here have criticized TBA based on incomplete information they got from the fixed-POV video:

All which was corrected with OTHER videos released within days. So why do we keep harping back to the first Disney video as why everyone hates everything and pointing out it's flaws? It's not the data point everyone is limited too.. so it's limitations have been passed.

But many (most?), of the knee-jerk initial reactions were based on analysis of the incomplete info from the POV. And that response formed the narrative that persists in this thread.

Sorry this is just making excuses - give your audience more credit - they are capable of forming new opinions with new information.

Your argument could be 'first impressions...' but instead you take it to the level to believe no one could get past those and everything is flawed because they can't get past that. That's you trying to spin... instead of giving people credit for taking in all the other information.. not just the day 0 video.

Just released security camera footage of some suspicious characters seen near the control room of TBA.

Why do you say this? The queue backstory is entirely divorced from and irrelevant to the story of the ride.

Not really - the queue sets up key ideas for the ride.. like the very notion that Tiana is throwing a party and some character fluffing in there too.

The SETTING is different - but divorced and irrelevant? Absolutely not.

Agree. There have been many other videos released since the original Disney video. Opinions have been formed based on the series of videos, not just Disney's.

Scott’s review:

Love his twitter reporting... but can't take any more of that post serious after reading "I wish Disney had kept a simpler narrative instead of trying to combine two or three stories"

I don't think Scott picked up on the story at all..

To me, it’s the need to talk about “lived experiences” with a fictional character.

Looks like Brer Fox and Brer Bear are causing a commotion...

Hopefully whatever is ailing the ride this morning is minor. They can't keep those freeloading passholders waiting or else they'll complain, and likely start taking up table space, parking their fat behinds along the parade route early and depriving day guests of prime viewing locations while they eat the food they brought into the parks with them.

Do you think in their rush to get this open they failed to do a proper exorcism? You would think they had learned not to skip that step in a reskin

At least it’s relevant!

Given the impressive melodramatics coming from some folks, seems like it may be needed. Fictional character, theme park ride, and yet it is taken extremely seriously and personally.

I assumed that was referencing the fact that there are some separate environmental stories being told by the queue/outdoor portions of the ride (e.g. Tiana now owns a co-op) that aren’t all that related to recruiting animals to play music for a party at Fleur du Bayou.

Maybe “cleaner” would be the better word? Given there are a few bits that don’t all tie in perfectly to what is generally seen as a very simple story.

So much I could say. So much I won't.

To avoid being muted in this thread, I'm going to say... Pass.
