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

[Figments Friend]

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.

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?

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.

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.

CM previews are 100% being canceled….

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?

I'm not going to lie I actually like the passholder merchandise.... if it didn't have passholder placed on it. I get having exclusive stuff for people who are loyal to your product but it shouldn't be as lazy as writing "passholder"on a pin or shirt. I know this isn't just a Disney thing.

 

[esskay]

That passholder shirt looks super cute, although slightly ruined by the obnoxious "HEY EVERYONE I AM A PASSHOLDER" nonsense down the side. Hope they do one without that once its open but guess thats wishful thinking.

Can anyone tell what Mama Odie says right before she does her "Time to think big! Time to get tiny!" Line in this POV? To me sounds like "Couldn't use your faces, eyes unusual package?"

Like what? Making it so the A-1000 animatronics of Tiana and Louis move consistently? I'm not sure what they plan on implementing because the sensors that go off to make them move seems to be the root cause.

That’s not the problem.

Update! Weather stayed away, rode three times. Now I can go back and read all the threads.
