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

[Animaniac93-98]

Yeah, I hope at the very least that they change that to an instrumental tune and don't keep the lyrics...

I may be showing my ignorance here, but does there exist any other park music loops that contain lyrics? Off the top of my head, I can't think of any. All the ones I can think of are instrumental.

Sunset Blvd at MGM/DHS is one example I can think one, along with Fantasyland West (non English vocals).

If queues like Tower of Terror mentioned above.
Also, Jungle Cruise.

World Showcase

MGM has had some in the past on both blvds.

Muppets Courtyard

Dinoland USA.

If this is the final music, the other solution, is that they change the background music in the immediate area to be more New Orleans, jazz than frontier land and somehow blend the two into a transition to the other areas of frontierland

 

[ryno1982]

Is it area music or more what people on the ride are supposed to hear as they float through that outdoor section? Obviously it's audible beyond the ride, but that might make some difference.

I'd say it's the 2nd one. Since it used to be the instrumental version of "How do you do?" playing here.

 

[splah]

My next question is Who is singing? Presumably we’re in the more “realistic” section of the ride. Maybe it’s the frogs. Maybe we’ll have a narrator

After the mill we still pass her gardens up top

 

[spectromagic04]

I was going to say, "Oh yeah, on Main Street they sing Elegance and Meet Me in St. Louis." And then I realized, "Oh, no. That's *me* singing along!" LOL

Anyhoo... the only time that I can think of that BGM had vocals is the Christmas Party.

Animal Kingdom Main Entrance and Africas area music.

Now is this the exact audio taken from the film or a new rendition? I hope it's new or it'll feel very six flags.

Also are this hideous metal fences part of the construction or the ride honestly I can't tell

It at least sounds lifted directly from the film.

If you mean the green metal rail in front of the drop, it'll be covered in greenery when it's done. With some sort of fancy lighting effects if what Drew heard is accurate. Likely why it hasn't been covered yet, there's apparently electrical work still being done on the platform. The finished product will resemble the models-

Note that they also haven't completed the installation of a lot of the water lilies either, but the posts that will hold them are already present.

When it was Splash, no music played in the pond section. Probably for the very same reason this sounds off: it clashes with the Frontierland area loop. HDYD didn’t start playing till the loft hill after the mill.

 

[SaucyBoy]

It's almost like This retheme doesn't belong in frontier land...,

Neither did a ride set in the south with singing frogs, bears, foxes, and other woodland creatures.

True! But everyone was less concerned then....
I do believe they should start morphing the Tall Tale In to a suitably themed New Orleans restaurant to at least help the newly themed ride fit into the area a little better....There is a portal to Adventureland whish is a perfect transition... Add another just after CBJ ...and create a real New Orleans Riverbend area...

 

[JohnD]

It was never in Frontierland over there. It was in a place called "Critter Country".

Still is.

Interesting. Okay, let's not go all Chicken Little with the "Sky is falling just yet." This is the testing phase after all.

 

[JohnD]

Please tell me that’s not the music they are using right along with Frontierland music around it? Please.

Probably just testing the speakers for volume and mix with the Frontierland music. So they picked a song from PATF to go with the NOLA theme for testing purposes.

You're right. I was thinking of the California version.

It’s not quite “sky is falling”, but people that have listened to it noticed that was edited to loop properly (something the original film version obviously wasn’t). It’s not like it would take a whole lot of effort. I could probably do it in Audacity in less than 10 minutes. But if they took the effort to loop it at all, it’s probably planned to be played somewhere, if not in this exact location.

I guess we'll just have to wait until "Go live". Also, if we noticed the clash with the Frontierland music, presumably Imagineers did too during the test. We won't know until the final product.

Yep! The California one played HDYD in the pond. You could hear it loud and clear walking on the bridge. It worked well since the ride is more isolated in the park. They should have no issues with clashing audio for the California Tiana ride.

Audio is something that can be adjusted and changed. Splash had an entirely different song at the bottom of the lift hill during its soft opening. They can definitely adjust this. Hopefully they do.

True. Either different music or adjusting volume in both Tiana and Frontierland music to get the right mix.
