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

[drizgirl]

the shrinking plotpoint just sounds so random, pointless and out of place to me. So I dunno.

It just doesn't sound that creative to me. They already did this with the Tinkerbell Meet and Greet.

These are great photos, thank you!

I’ve noticed that in photos also, I do hope they have a plan to hide that.

What green railing?

I hope they add a lot of foliage (lily pads, cattails, other water vegetation) to the front section of water.

Concept art had some and it seems it also blocks the green railing.

That's a big assumption. We don't know what Mama Odie's reasons for shrinking us would be.

It’s for us to fit further down the salt mine

The plotpoint of shrinking is perfectly aligned with the movie where the main character become tiny critters. The call back to the movie doesn't seem out of place to me.

But wasn't the whole point of NOT making the ride a book report to avoid acknowledging Tiana's being a frog for a good chunk of the movie? Wouldn't shrinking the riders down/turning them into "critters" be too reminiscent of that?

Assuming the eel is representative of an actual figure(s)

That's an eel? It looks more like an alligator to me... although not like one of the gators from the movie.

I can’t quite tell tbh, that’s what I initially thought. Do certain eels even live in the bayou? It’s a something for sure… but it looks alot less friendly than the other critters. To make up for a potential lack of suspense I’d love the spooky swamp ambiance Scary Adventures had, easily the biggest loss from the refresh I loved those gators

I looked it up. Apparently some Asian swamp eels were found in Bayou St. John, but they're an invasive species.

I'm hearing that interactive activations will be added to the queue. I hope this rings true.

Was that green railing always there, and just obscured by the briar patch? It doesn't look new to me...

Looks pretty good to me!

It likely was behind the patch. Based on rendering, should be covered by vegetation.

I believe it is new - previously the Briar Patch completely consumed the area, even spilling over the wall towards the Guests as they plunged:

Is there a reason both theme park companies are so obsessed with using this particular word?

New jargon passed down by dear leader Josh, sounds like you know what you're doing if you use it

It's just a corporate buzzword that's caught on in recent years, it's not exclusive to theme parks.

I think they went to a seminar or presentation or convention or something.....

I'm bored so I keep looking at Tiana stuff, now we wait to see what "REAL soon" really means.
