I’m much more reassured by the announcement itself than the 2020 Baxter quotation that’s been conflated with it.
Umm. Okay. You had a bunch of great characters in the film already.
- Brand-new cast of original Disney characters with distinct names and personalities
Unambiguously good news.
- Dozens of entirely new Audio-Animatronics figures
Jazz /zydeco is good to me
- Adorable critters with incredible talent, bringing the diverse flavors of musical gumbo found in New Orleans!
Randy Newman’s original music was terrific. Randy Newman hasn’t been mentioned as being associated with this project anywhere at all. This “new, original music” is concerning.
- New, original music alongside favorite tunes from the film
I don’t know - did Louis love beignets? Like the idea, hope they execute it right
- Do you love beignets as much as Louis? Well, you’re in luck because the alluring scent of beignets being prepared for the party will be part of the attraction queue!
Goof. Would like to see Jim Cummings or Keith David, but that ship has sailed.
- Additional talent voices from the film reprising their roles, including Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, Michael Leon Wooley as Louis, and the one and only Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana
- Familiar faces from the film such as Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Mama Odie, Louis, Eudora, Charlotte, “Big Daddy,” the King and Queen of Maldonia and Prince Ralphie
I mean, the water tower has had a crown on it since the beginning. The use of royal titles isn’t surprising.Notice that Tiana and Naveen have gotten their royal honorifics back? In February it was Tiana and Naveen. Now, they’re Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen.
It's almost as if they want people to know this is a princess ride.I mean, the water tower has had a crown on it since the beginning. The use of royal titles isn’t surprising.
Tiana is a princess; this is her ride. I’m not sure why people are making it seem as if there’s something cynical or untoward going on here.It's almost as if they want people to know this is a princess ride.
Wait - you want to have the beignet smells organically come from an actual beignet stand in the area where we cattle can buy a bag of 3 for $18.99 after we ride (add powdered sugar for only $4.99 extra!)?My guess is that they’ll build the beignet stall under the Frontierland railroad, around where the Laughin’ Place playground was.
It’s a wide area for foot traffic, plus you can get people as they exit both Splash and the WDWRR.
Granted that’s what I as a mostly rational theme park visitor would think….lord only knows what nonsense the suits in their rich Corinthian leather Executive chairs would dream up.
Florida's version of Splash Mountain was superior in large part due to the logs themselves. That won't change.This is quite reassuring -- especially the mention of dozens of AAs.
I also don't think anyone should be concerned that the Disney World version will be significantly different. They aren't going to spend a bunch of additional money designing two different versions (beyond the minimum they will have to spend because of the existing ride differences).
I know that's what I was getting at. She's a princess they're going to let people know she's a princess.Tiana is a princess; this is her ride. I’m not sure why people are making it seem as if there’s something cynical or untoward going on here.
I didn’t suggest it was cynical or untoward. Rather, I think it reflects an evolving view of Tiana for this attraction.Tiana is a princess; this is her ride. I’m not sure why people are making it seem as if there’s something cynical or untoward going on here.
point is it could have been better its not perfectly fine, upstairs is barren at best, you can tell the budget went to the lower level. just saying the same could but hopefully not happen here, with very fleshed out scenes to more empty areas in-between. would not be surprising but hopefully thats not the route taken.Only problem I have with the Frozen ride is how the projector faces look. "IP in Epcot" argument aside that ride is perfectly fine so what is your point?

Disagree, as you can see the black sheeting on the walls thanks to the amount of ambient light given off by all the projectors, and the fact that the boats now move so slowly down the flume.
Maelstrom used UV paint and black lights, which not only hid the black walls better, but gave an added depth to each scene.
Example: the AA’s of Anna, Kristof, Sven and snowman all exist in the exact same space as the Viking village, yet riding past them feels so much more confined and claustrophobic. Not only do you see the black wall to your left, you can tell that there is a wall right behind the characters.
Probably the dozens on the riverboat at the end with new clothesQuestion: are the dozens of “entirely new” AAs in addition, or mostly replacing? A combination? In other words, will the total AA count go up or down? 24 or more new AAs sounds great, but if they’re removing all 60+ SM AAs then that is distinctly a downgrade.
