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

[HauntedPirate]

Anyone else notice that the animals/critters on the shirt are a turtle, a fox, and a bear?

(Waves hand)

Is this finished?

Whatever issues there are with the ride as it currently stands—and I agree there are many—in what way does it count as unfinished? By that definition, one would have to call Expedition Everest and Rise of the Resistance unfinished for having effects that stopped working soon after they opened.

Anyone on this thread think Disney should worry more about making attractions that actually work and are engaging to the audience and less about merchandise?? It almost seems like Disney builds attractions around merchandising and not the other way around. So pathetic

I presume these are completely different teams. They work independent.

The attractions operations team sure has its work cut out for them!

The operations team says to the imagineers, "these things are not working".

The imagineers says to operations, "they worked fine in the lab".

Honestly, Disneyland's Magic Happens is so unfinished! The pepita float broke so quickly!

Idk about that. Like I said I feel like the aesthetic to this ride is much less adventure in new Orleans than it is "got off at the wrong exit on the Jersey Turnpike late at night and lost in Jersey swamplands full of mosquitoes". Vibes. I'm thoroughly uninterested in fake plant varieties or food smells that are just sound and fury (or smell in this case) signifying nothing. And the screens are both low quality and quick looping, from what I'm seeing and frankly if I wanted to stare at a screen id take my phone out and play the same clip and wow I just imagineered all in my own!

I go to Disney to see the impossible become possible before my eyes and to be in adventures with things I can't do on my own. I can attend a party with food. I don't need a log flume to do it

Wait, Jersey swamp…did you see Jimmy H?

They should put THAT on a shirt!

This crappy AP merch reminds me of the sketch where Will Ferrell went on jimmy kimmel dressed as Little Debbie. “I am excited to tell your guests that each of you has the opportunity to go out and buy little Debbie snack cakes!”

I would like that Passholder shirt shown above much better without the overly huge and obnoxiously scaled lettering shouting PASSHOLDER along the left edge.




Seven days to go until the big public Grand Opening of the Attraction….!

Going to be a entertaining day, methinks.


Place your bets now -
How many hours will you think the Attraction will be down on June 28th?

CM Previews supposedly being cancelled.

Going forward, there are some Cast Member previews scheduled for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure before it opens to the public. According to Cast Members that we’ve spoken with at the attraction, it’s possible that some of the upcoming Cast Member previews may be canceled as Disney World looks to try and implement some last-minute fixes before the ride opens to the public.


Seemingly confirmed in the replies:

Here's a look at Tiana's Bayou Adventure Annual Passholder shirt and pin that will be available at the Emporium on June 28:

And once again, we see merch that looks so much better than the attraction poster.

But... but... how could you show off how special you are without it being in big gold letters? Without that, people could think you're a mere tourist.

With AP previews finishing, are there any other scheduled previews that need to take place?

Can they just shut down for a couple of days to try to figure this out before that day?

Scrapping CM previews after a disastrous DVC/AP preview phase to make some “last minute fixes” suggests an unfinished product:

I don’t think you know what “unfinished” means.

It seems you like that particular commentator and are twisting yourself into knots in order to show that he was somehow right. He wasn’t. A flawed product isn’t the same as an unfinished one. Goodness knows I too have been critical of the attraction; there’s plenty there to fault without having to make stuff up.

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Should have built a different, or new, ride.

Or, figured it out over the last year and a half. Oh well.

Gotta love the optics…way to go, Bob…I NEVER thought I’d say this, but maybe, MAYBE Chappie just might be having the last laugh out of this dumpster fire that is TWDC.

 

[MagicHappens1971]

CM previews are 100% being canceled….

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

Scrapping CM previews after a disastrous DVC/AP preview phase to make some “last minute fixes” suggests an unfinished product:

No it doesn't. It suggests that these previews have shown them that these technical issues aren't going to be effectively corrected while they're actively sending riders through, so they need to work on it without having to be evacuating riders constantly to do so.

Have a CM friend telling me they are on a Preview tomorrow….
They received a email to ‘confirm’ their spot, but that might not mean anything.

Can we just make it a thing where we sing ‘Friends on the Other Side’ during the lift? Rocky Horror Picture Show style

D23 event is tonight! Between the weather and the problems, odds that I actually get to ride?
