Another final detail coming with the moss/vines on the water tower, great to see!A few photos from today - it appears scaffolding is going back up around the base of the water tower.

6 hour wait?

Will the red clay be getting repainted?Here's a photo that shows more of that area.

Not that anyone has any specific insider info, but just putting this out there once more. I am very curious whether the critters in the attraction will utilize rear projected eyes. Only thing ever said to indicate non projected faces was the statement about HKDL’s technology at Frozen, and all of the non human characters still have rear projected eyes despite the humans of course being entirely physical

Both Olaf and Sven still use rear projected eyes in Hong Kong's Frozen Ever After, and in fact the Trolls in that version use full-projected faces like in EPCOT despite HK's Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff no longer using rear projection. Based on that I would say it's possible there may be figures in Tiana's Bayou Adventure that feature some degree of rear-projection.
That said, Tiana, Naveen, and Mama Odie already seem to be exempt from that, and in fact the preview of the in-construction Louis animatronic showed the base elements of mechanical eyes rather than rear projected ones, so presumably the main cast will all be entirely physical in their AA's.

Obviously, an exaggeration but I could definitely see it being that long at first. Flights of Passage & Hagrid's can still get up to 3 hours long, I could see Tiana being around that time for a bit too.

Considering it’s brown and they painted that one section post announcement, it’s unlikely.

What is the demand for this attraction outside of the Disney purists? I don’t see any casuals talking about it. For most people, they seem to think it’ll be the “same ride” with slightly different visuals. It doesn’t have the same buzz around it that Avatar, Harry Potter, or Star Wars did. I can’t see the waits being THAT long after the first week, unless Disney does something to artificially inflate it.

I'd imagine that the lack of depth from these two dimensional images makes it look like just a sea of green.
In person it likely looks much better.

That's because Disney hasn't been marketing it to anyone other than people who read DisneyParksBlog.
If you're not a parks fan, the only way you can reasonably know this ride is being updates is being there in the parks and seeing the walls.
Also where would you be to notice casuals talking about it?
It's not as photogenic or Instagramable but they did a good job of camouflaging what was.

IMO, it really does look nice in person, and I like it more each visit, but I do agree with you about the green literally everywhere and not having a main peak to look at like Splash had. The water tower 100% helps from certain angles but even then there are many places where the cypress trees actually block it from up close, so I'm looking forward to how it looks without the walls.

It's a super controversial ride, this will garner a lot of attention when it's finished.

We'll know pretty quickly if it lives up to expectations (good and bad).
I actually disagee with this point. It’s super controversial in the Disney fan community. The general public doesn’t care at all that they’re re-theming splash mountain.
The people that care are the VAST minority of daily park visitors.
