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

[yensidtlaw1969]

But even then, there are so many other possibilities for Frontierland, including trying it into BTMRR and morphing that area into an incarnation of Thunder Mesa.

You don’t need to carelessly plop 1920s New Orleans into a land meant for the 1800s old west.

You mean like when they carelessly plopped Cartoonified 1860's Georgia in it?

Not saying TBA is necessarily a better thematic fit than Splash, but it's not really worse.

If we’re claiming portions of Disney proper I’d like to lay my stake in a man made Island in the Disney Springs area. An island filled with pleasure, where explorers and adventurers could have a club they call their own.

Excuse me, but I'm the President of DAK!!

[Smiley/OCD]

I’ll stake my claim of TSI…Yes, it’s a nice place to visit, and ah, I think I WILL live there…

Are we really having the "Splash never fit in Frontierland" debate when Splash is dead and gone? It could've been the best fit for Frontierland or it could've been Space plopped in Frontierland, it doesn't matter anymore

If we're claiming parks, I guess I'll take Hollywood Studios. That park still needs a lot.

Because people online demanded it and the people running the Disney corporation are cowards. That's why.

Plus is cheap just to copy/paste projects and homogenize all the parks.

See now you’re splitting hairs (or hares).

Just like the folks who argue Country Bear Jamboree doesn’t belong in Frontierland because all the songs they sing were written in the 1940s-60s.

But then again I’m the guy who poses for thumbs-down pictures in front of MS wearing a Horizons t-shirt.

The big thing with this retheme is that no matter how many fancy animatronics it has, it's going to be glaringly obvious that it was once Splash Mountain. We're constantly going to think "Okay, this was where Brer Rabbit was, this was where Brer Fox and Brer Bear were..."

The other big thing is that, regardless as to how good or bad the retheme is, it's being done for the wrong reasons and created an incredible amount of fighting and online discord. In the end, we'll have to wonder if it was really worth it.

Like literally every other attraction retrofit as a new one?

Yes, but most of the time the new attraction doesn't reuse the exact same track. Or most of the animatronics, apparently.

It's also hugely demoralizing; THIS is the amount of convoluted hoops that have to be jumped through to get them to actually try now.

And even then, the giant, super impressive outer-shell is already there for them.

And even THEN, supposedly (supposedly) they didn't want to until it turned out people actually really liked that super popular, iconic ride.

 

[Brer Panther]

I'm honestly not convinced that Disney is really afraid of the possibility of people not liking the retheme. Ignoring the fact that people gush over every ride Disney craps out nowadays regardless of whether or not it's good (the Ratatouille ride, Mickey's Runaway Railway, etc.), I recall there were a lot of people super-excited and immediately on board with the retheme from the second it was announced.

Even if they had gone with the original "remove most of the animatronics, Louis can't find his trumpet" storyline, chances are people online would've gushed over it anyway.

The water tower is apparently on track to be installed later this summer.

Alright y’all let’s get back on track, this tread is about CONSTRUCTION progress, no one wants 50 more pages about whether it should be happening or not.

Only for the people who care a little too much about a theme park ride. I legit had a friend block me on all social media because I said I was looking forward to this new attraction.

 

[Big T 1963]

To each their own however you look at this.... the lines will be back in late 2024 for curiosity sake right ? my question is will their be a Lighting Lane ? hmmmm

 

[Bocabear]

I am sure there will be a lightning lane, but 2024 seems way too soon..... it took 1year and 8 month for the Frozen re-do...this seems to be a larger change with more animatronics and show scenes... 2025 summer at the earliest I would think.
