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

[Brer Oswald]

This ride system IMO doesn’t lend itself to a VQ. It’s very popular at park opening and during the middle of the day but as the day goes on, fewer and fewer folks want to ride a flume ride and possibly spend the evening drenched.

It makes the most sense that this opens standby and ILL and SDMT comes off but I can’t see that happening.

It might need a VQ for opening day/weekend, but it’ll be really pointless after that.

My hopes is that it goes this way. #AlwayaHaveStandbyQueues

They have the capability to run multiple virtual queues within the same park, but operationally I don't think it will happen.

Before the opening of Tron posters didn't think Disney would run VQ for more then 1 attraction.

I don't think Disney wants the 3 hour + waits FoP had at opening. Pictures of long lines isn't a good show.

I’m excited for this attraction and think it stands a shot of being decent. Even with me saying that this is laughable. Tiana is gonna take away from a totally new park with much of the most famous brands in the world? I’m not even that much of a Uni fan but I’m super excited for Epic Universe.

This is what happens when you don’t invest in your parks. I’ve been very nice, but you know what everyone needs to vent every once and a while. Absolutely dumb decision, Disney is supposed to be a leader in the theme parks space not a reactor. They BETTER have something at D23. If they don’t it’s curtains for them for another 2 years and then how ever long it takes them to build the thing. I won’t stop going to Disney as it really is a great experience (could be better), but they really need to step it up and invest NOW and not in 5-6 years.

Why would they bother....you are telling them that they have your money and loyalty even if they do nothing...So while they de-theme their groundbreaking Themed hotels and allow the parks to stagnate you will still applaud them... Maybe you could drop off a strongly worded letter to them when you book your next vacation and buy some more DVC points....that would show 'em!

Epic Universe had a ton of news just announced. I still kind of hope they wait for Mardi Gras to reveal anything.

I've always thought VQ was a quick patch up solution to solving queue issues. For some reason, Disney thinks standing in line for a long time means it's a failure (according to Chapek) so they were in a pickle.

I miss the days of being guaranteed the ability to ride something without having to worry about getting up at 7am or logging on at 1pm. Fundamentally it's a capacity issue and they don't care about it anymore.

Disney wont lose their die-hard fans. The die-hard fans show up and have a good time no matter the offerings. I think we can classify most DVCers as die-hard fans.

If Disney truly thought having to stand in line for rides means it's a failure, they'd be building 10 new rides at every park and capping attendance.

With the opening of EPIC, Disney may lose many "normies" who are really excited about EPIC.

Been a "DVCer" since 1998, a die-hard fan, for ever, and only visited Universal once, before Islands of adventure opened. never had any desire to leave Disney property... till now. I'll use my DVC, rent a car, and head out as soon as it opens. Disney can keep their new cup cakes.

Let them eat (cup)CAKE!(s)

Totally understood.

If EPIC can turn enough die-hard Disney fans, Universal/IOA/EPIC can put a significant dent in WDW visitors.

One thing I am confident of. Disney will wait and see and only react if needed.

True but that hasn’t stopped them with other attractions.

They don’t seem to mind when the parks are packed and people wait that long for Soarin and test track. Don’t make Disney greed look like charity.

I think Tron will be off VQ and be on stand-by sooner than later. 7DMT may also be added to G+ at some point too.

Maybe? I think moving 7DMT to G+ would be a mistake on their part due to how in demand it is.

Nothing new today besides a horrible look at the (now) uncovered track going into the finale and flowers ready to be installed on the water tower previously mentioned by DCBaker.

 

[Bocabear]

I’m not applauding them. Not sure how that post can be considered applauding them. I am also not a DVC’er.

It was not so much pointed at you, but a general statement...By saying it is stagnating and they better have something at D23 for new plans....and then then saying you will never stop going to the park, you are essentially rewarding them for their stagnation...When they start to notice a tick in their bottom line, they will start thinking about actually doing something...

That’s a fair statement, my point is they need to start investing. More irreparable damage will be caused if they don’t on top of what’s already happened.

I will also admit that yes, it would be rewarding them by going but I’ll also be going to epic. So it maybe less days then normal.

I sincerely think D23 will be much of the same.... nothing, just a bunch of what if's

I think Disney is waiting for EPIC and will react if needed.

I hope you’re wrong, it could go either way though. I think this year does offer a higher shot of offering something. That’s why I want to go to this years D23.

Disney is the king of action. They listen to us. They love us.

We were clamoring for new attractions, and what did they do? They gave us a brand new Country Bears Jamboree!

Now kneel and be grateful you worm!
