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

[aladdin2007]

With all this negative publicity, do you think Tiana gets a 2.0 update 2-3 years down the line? I personally don’t think so unless it somehow doesn’t make money for merch or lighting lane. That’s the reason why harmonious even went, didn’t make enough money. I feel like wdi must have at least taken note, but I don’t think it’ll effect it that much. But what do you think?

I think Disneyland could see changes or adjustments possibly yet we will be stuck with the inferior.

I can't recall how long it was before Disneyland updated the previous attraction. I know the houses and broken suspension bridge weren't there for the ride's original iteration but were added several years later. I even have a memory of them adding a small Romani style cart where Brer Rabbit's house would then be added and Louis under the wheelbarrow would be today, but that might be a false memory.

The insides saw some slight upgrades and adjustments at those times. I would ride the ride religiously as a kid as it was my favourite attraction and I would notice the updates and changes they made throughout my childhood. I even bumped into Eisner one day near Videopolis and I told him that he needed to fix the ending because Brer Fox's tail was continuously not in Brer Gator's mouth.

Despite all the heated talk in the last two pages that will likely be gone soon, I just want to say how incredibly funny it is that Basil said he was making a co-op joke and how close it sounded to suggesting Scott was on the take was accidental and people still keep responding to it and telling him he was wrong.

Bottom line is I obviously need better material..

So what, exactly do we think is the problem? Computers? Electrical? Sensors?
Whatever it is, it seems like it's affecting multiple systems...

It is something to do with the new sensor system.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Maybe they need to take a page from Universal's books and call these sorts of things Technical Rehearsals, help manage expectations. They are clearly still working out all the issues right now, hopefully they get it running smoothly in two weeks.

I've noticed the show scene troubles are well documented at this point so I apologize if this has already been mentioned among those. But a recent video from a vlogger I saw had a broken Mama Odie on the final lift hill, too. Only her mouth was moving, the rest of her was static.

Somehow, this super advanced animatronic has ended up with less movement than Brer Rabbit did in this moment. The heck is going on over there?!

 

[Ghost93]

They need to add info in the queue explaining that the bayou is cursed and has the tendency to randomly freeze all who enter. That will give the Imagineers leeway to explain away the non operating animatronics.

That's what I thought, but since we're seeing videos of lights flickering, blank screens, and static AAs, I wasn't sure.

Seems like relevancy isn’t being activated. Shame.

Jennifer Lewis, Mama Odie's voice, got stuck on the ride and she ended up singing Dig a Little Deeper.

With the way they’ve designed the new sensor systems, the AAs and other show elements factor in. Issues with how they’ve set up the new safety block zones, many of which are made to account for properly paced triggers for the AAs. The track was not designed for this many show triggers.

Do you or anyone know where exactly the sensors are located? Is it an issue with fake foliage getting in the way maybe? I’m not entirely sure how it works

We're seeing a lot more static AAs today, but also the ride isn't taking four hour outages either so there may be a bit of a correlation there. If I had to guess, they made some heavy tweaks to the sensor activations to prevent it from shutting down, but I'm basing this on absolutely nothing other than seeing the same AA behavior in a lot of videos today.

I saw the one blog mickey video with the blinking lights, were there others or just that one?

Get the strobe light (and the excuses).

 

[co10064]

Unfortunately I’m afraid they tried a bit too hard with the new log-activated animatronic synchronization. Hopefully they can get it worked out. At worst, maybe they could reprogram the animatronics to loop continuously and independently of the log vehicles.

If the other attractions are any indication that is far from the worst that WDW is capable of.
