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

[James Alucobond]

It opened late June. This shouldn’t be happening this early in the life cycle.

Agreed. I'm simply saying the standard downtime would've been helpful given all of the issues.

But hey- the costly AA maintenance and “bad show” was a reason so many were using to justify a change from Splash. Maybe this means we’ll get an upgraded experience (or attraction) sometime soon!

I don't think it was so much a justification as a reason some people were excited to see what they hoped would represent a change, which was honestly a reasonable expectation given that something similar like Frozen Ever After generally has animatronics that give performances as good as when the attraction first opened about a decade ago. By contrast, the older animatronics (which I assume are hydraulic?) tend to be allowed to wear into a condition where their range of motion significantly deteriorates over time. What is happening with TBA feels anomalous enough that I think it's unfair to say people were foolish to believe that it would maintain a certain amount of quality for at least a decade.

I really want to say I’m surprised at how quickly TBA is having issues, but I just can’t in good faith.

If they can’t get this refurb right, you have to worry for the Dino —> Indy swap

Has Disney Imagineering lost all of their actual capable staff/talent to competitors, etc….?!
You know, people who can properly design and engineer the ideas they come up with to provide good show, over an extended period of time..?!

And, oh yea, the first thing I think of when I think alligator is “felt”…

At least they already got that one right once before at DLR.
But, yes, fingers crossed…

And ROA -> Cars mini land.

Yes, indeed, and this one has me very much more concerned.
And, don’t even get my old beeeeeeehind started on how that whole situation just disgusts me…good luck with that, Disney…

Patch fabric skin with paint then throw on couple of Mardi Gras beads, the tourist rubes will be nonethewiser.

Still amazing how they turned one of the greatest attractions in the world into a relative afterthought. We rode it once and have little interest in riding again.
