Has anyone asked the question yet why is Tiana foods advertising on a abandoned vegetated water tower next to a salt dome?

The story obviously set in 1929.

That's ridiculous. New Capacity and New Attractions are not the same thing.

You can complain if you'd like that this doesn't technically add new capacity to The Magic Kingdom, that's not wrong. But Tiana's is a new ride. No matter how many times you've ridden Splash Mountain, you've never ridden Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Because the old ride has been transformed into a new one you haven't experienced yet.

I like the moving goalposts. When folks complained about the reskin, some said "it's still the same ride, it's just going to look different." Now when folks point out that it isn't a new ride, but just a reskin, we're told "Tiana's is a new ride."

:rolleyes:

That's not an example of moving the goalposts, that's an example of different people saying different things.

Moving the goalposts would be if both those separate statements were attributable to me specifically, which they are not.

This is just a glorified (and way over priced) attraction maintenance. Once again, not an ADDITIONAL attraction, just a renovated one.

I will admit, the costly maintenance for the old Splash mountain and the lack of spare parts, is probably the REAL reason Splash was re skinned to Tiana and at the same time, they could do some social justice while they were at it,

I can't wait for Pirates to get reskinned to Luca or Moana.

Alright, here's some actual construction updates. ;)

1st photo: the new queue areas are looking just about done, and sprinklers have been installed.

2nd photo: scaffolding down on the left side, overview of what it currently looks like.

4th photo: recent work at the entrance, new sprinklers installed there as well.

6th photo: all scaffolding removed!

7th and 8th photos: work has started on replacing the current pathways with the new pathways, which now makes sense why the walls were pushed back a few weeks ago — they needed to access the edge with the rocks so the new paths can be poured. They are doing this in sections and blocking the areas being worked on with the planters. It looks great in-person.

9th photo: new scaffolding is up on the rockwork above the flume that goes into the finale scene, likely to be painted — more final touches!

10th photo: logs testing all afternoon!

Well, thing is, Most Hot Sauce Companies are still privately or family owned. McIlhenny Company, makers of Tabasco, is still owned by the Mcllhenny family and bottled on Avery Island, just like it’s been since 1868. And all the salt in the sauces did used to come from the Island’s salt dome, too. Crystal is still owned by Baumer Foods and Headquartered in New Orleans. The only big exception for nationwide brands is Cholula, which is owned by McCormick. It’s really interesting, tbh.

Here's hoping we don't get some generic hot sauce from China in Tiana labeled bottles.

Lets see what happens.

I would love if they used Cholula. Wouldn't really fit the theme but it's my favorite somewhat mild hot sauce.
