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

[HauntedPirate]

I'm enjoying these Imagineering puff pieces. Really helps to put a face to the disaster. Now we know by name some of the Imagineers responsible for this.

Let's not forget the ride through of Anaheim's that as posted, where an Imagineer talked about how they partnered with a third party to design a figure... that's literally just a tail wiggling a bit.



Every piece of marketing, or interview with Imagineering for this attraction has been beyond tone deaf. It's absurd. Here's Carter talking about how the attraction is great because Tiana is a modern 20th century princess that people can relate to. Her story has layers.




Meanwhile, Here's Mr. Gordon talking about the concept and ride experience of Splash Mountain. Just listen to the passion he has for Disneyland, and how genuine he sounds. He doesn't take it too serious and sure as heck doesn't talk about how important it is that people relate to the characters on the ride because they're a 20th century princess and her story has layers.

The “reasoning” presented for Tiana is astoundingly bad. She’s “20th century”, “has layers”, and “has goals and dreams”?? THAT is the best she can come up with?! The words I’d like to use would be censored.

Owning and running and managing a successful restaurant that is the "toast of the town" is enough...the natural next step is not to own a foods factory and co-op...and it makes for a ridiculous truncated off-model story...then having off-model figures of Tiana, continues the "off the rails" concept...

Like I said, Tiana's story is like onions. It has layers.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure is like onions, too, but for a few different reasons... it stinks, it makes you cry if you liked Splash Mountain, and if left out in the sun it'll likely get all brown and start sprouting little white hairs.

We're missing the obvious fix... Tiana's Bayou Adventure with Figment.

It will last longer than the original Splash Mountain.
