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

[MagicHappens1971]

I wonder if there will be scrims?

I’m hoping they will add some

Pocahontas also has Mel Gibson as the cherry on top of the yikes cake as well.

Also, it's boring. My opposing to retheming Splash Mountain aside, I would gladly take The Princess and the Frog as a new theme over Pocahontas.

I love how this turned into everyone agreeing Pocahontas (the film) isn’t good. We can agree!

 

[MisterPenguin]

I can't remember anyone saying we need more Pocahontas.

And that's perfectly fine.

See? Unlike some people on here, I don't give others a hard time over their opinions...

No no no, you’re supposed to shame people for things they like, and make them feel bad for not immediately updating their views on a film or attraction based on the latest cause on Twitter.

I did.

Why do you want more of a problematic character from a very problematic film?

Why do you feel the need to poo poo everyone who doesn't share your opinions and imply there's something morally wrong with them?

I don't like Pocahontas and think it's one of Disney's more problematic movies, but I don't hold it against anyone else for liking it or question their reasons over it. It's not without its good moments. Still has quality animation and great music.

The ride is only going to have 20 something animatronics. It seems more and more like they are doing this for cost cutting.

Step 1: Reduce Pocahontas' roll in Fantasmic!

Step 2: Get ready for the next step.

Without wading into the quagmire of problems… I like the art and animation style of Pocahontas. I also think they do a good job with the music matching the general style and themes of the movie.

The Cajuns settled far west of the Mississippi in the Bayou Teche and Atchafalaya, by Morgan City and Lafayette.

Ah, Morgan City... Cool place for 5 minutes. Really depressing place after an hour. Lol

Until I hold that permit in my hands, I won't believe permission to retheme has been granted.

I think that Pocahontas and Princess and the Frog have this much in common: One really good musical number (Colors of the Wind, Almost There) and then the rest is meh as heck. Neither deserve a dark ride IMO. Maybe a bathroom. But nothing more!

Friends on the Other Side. Top Ten Villain song.

PATF is very good. Pocahontas isn't. Both have qualities that could make a really good ride (just not at the expense of Splash Mountain).

A movie doesn't even have to be good to make it a good candidate for a ride. And on the inverse, not every good movie should have a ride. Interesting settings are what is so important.

Ratatouille is a fantastic movie but a pretty crappy ride. A restaurant kitchen and the dirty inside of walls are an innately uninteresting setting to travel through for a ride. Avatar is an aggressively bland and boring movie, but the setting made for a quality theme park experience.
