Yeah, I would say there are definately some things that are ‘not complete’ just yet on this Attraction….
🤔


Two days to go folks.
🍿

I have yet to have heard anyone place a guess on how long the Attraction will be down on Opening Day.
There is a fun ‘virtual prize’ to whoever guesses within the range, so let’s hear some guesses!

Begin the merchandising!

A Lari is a monetary unit for the Republic of Georgia. So having a merchandisable character named after currency is a perfect synergistic fit for Disney!

What are you even talking about?

A park with more diversity resonates with more people. That's not racist to suggest and most of us do not question that claim. For me, I would have just preferred PatF get a NEW attraction, and I would have included Facilier if it was going to be a thrill ride. The current story lends itself more to the ride layout of the new Tangled ride in Tokyo.

That’s what I would’ve done. You add a new Tiana ride with a nice indoor New Orleans pavilion area beyond Big Thunder, and you make some tweaks to Splash’s post show to give more acknowledgement to Brer Rabbit‘s roots. Then you have two black coded rides rather than one. But alas, Disney likes to go for the option that irritates the most amount of fans.

It would be nice if Disney's diversity and inclusion initiative would also build in role models for young men and boys. Something like a well-written Prince movie; instead of this fascination focusing solely on princesses. All the boys have no ware side-kicks and hangers on (the current princes), a drunk (Cpt. Sparrow) and two plastic toys that are memed to be named after adult toys. With Marvel and Star Wards 'princess-ifizing' their brands there is nothing more to cater to males.

I will not stand for this Cars erasure.

My favorite thing in the backstory is that imagineering did some amazing field work to “validate” that armadillos in fact live in the bayou. Thank goodness they took that one picture of an armadillos. Otherwise lari would have been missing.

Armadillos in the bayou you say? Poppycock!

Also if each animal has a unique personality, I can’t really tell because they all are smiling and all they do sway. None of that backstory translated into anything visually.

And if lari is such a great character (and I understand that he’s referenced in notes and things on bulletin boards) but there should be some visual, non text, clues of his scavenging in the queue and more times where his head occasionally slowly pops out around a tree stump or from the ceiling or with a snorkel or their favorite animated in the background screens. What could have been a fun I spy game now just begs the question what is this giant angry looking armadillo doing here?
