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

[plutofan15]

And do we KNOW the track isn’t changing? Like, at all? I’ve seen some making that assumption, but I don’t think I’ve seen any official statements to that effect.

Possibly inside but the drop height is not changing.

 

[JD80]

There is no way the track is changing unless you want to include repairs or anything similar.

Right. That much seems obvious, but maybe not to everyone?

There is no way the track is changing.

Not even a portion of the interior? Why are you so sure?

 

[JD80]

Not even a portion of the interior? Why are you so sure?

1) I'm sure we would have seen some kind of permitting and staging of new materials somewhere. I think someone would have found pictures of track.

2) I would have a strong guess that marketing would have jumped on this somewhere in their parksvlog previews.

3) Changing out the layout would have seen more construction and structural changes to the show building. We would not be seeing water last night if they had to do that.

My guesses though, I don't know anything.

 

[ToTBellHop]

I’ve never heard of any significant track updates (beyond repairs). I believe the layout is unchanged.

 

[tparris]

For anyone in MK tonight, they’re currently running water through the u-turn after the drop

 

[Smiley/OCD]

You bring up a good point. How long do we think Tiana will last in opening day condition? The operational and maintenance issues with its predecessor still apply to this one. If TDO doesn't invest the time and $$ to maintain it, it's going to break.

I think we should start a pool…I say 90 days before the first AA goes into B mode and/or a log developing a leak…

The NOLA.com article seemed to confirm it's identical:

"In addition to using the same ride vehicles as its predecessor, the new attraction will also use the same ride track, so guests will start their ride with a brief outdoor float marked by a few not-so-intense drops."

Alright, I'll give you a Dole Whip and a Fastpass if-

1. There's an evac within the first week its reopened
2. There's a major animatronic malfunction within a month
3. It never hits a 4 hour wait like Splash did its last night

It'll never have a 4 hour wait because it'll have a VQ and an ILL.

Will 7DMT go Genie+ or will they have 3 ILL?

 

[MagicHappens1971]

Will 7DMT go Genie+ or will they have 3 ILL?

We don’t know yet. My opinion was that they would drop Tron’s ILL before SDMT.

You're an optimistic.

 

[BrianLo]

I feel like it’s time. Tiana’s is a bit too redundant in terms of being a co-princess attraction.

Tron migrating out of virtual queue and SDMT turning into the Genie+ GOAT feels like the forthcoming moves.

And that is what I said before too. I can see it happening sooner than later.

 

[mattpeto]

I don’t know, Guardians has been running ILL/VQ with no end in sight.

I think Tron will stay on ILL for a long time. I don’t think they will use a VQ for TBA. It will be standby/ILL and 7DMT will shift to Genie+.

TBA will use a VQ. That I am certain of. What will happen with the ILL for 7DMT & Tron is definetly up in the air.

FuturePort82 said that last night Guardians was using standby.

Last night was an after hours event in EPCOT. It switches to standby during those events

Ah I didn't realize that.

Anyone in the parks tonight take a picture of the water in the flume?
