I haven’t seen anybody say no Facilier, just that this story is supposed to be set after PatF and Facilier died in the movie. But there’s videos above that have Rays bayou song and he died too so who knows

If he shows up anywhere, it will be in the dark area before the large lift.I haven’t seen anybody say no Facilier, just that this story is supposed to be set after PatF and Facilier died in the movie. But there’s videos above that have Rays bayou song and he died too so who knows

Was just listening to the PatF soundtrack in the car with the kids. Does anyone else think “When We’re Human” would be a better spiritual successor to “How Do You Do” than “Gonna Take You there?” Especially at Disneyland considering how fast those logs go and how upbeat our version of How Do You Do was. Unfortunately, lyrically it wouldn’t make as much sense but that could be worked out.

Was there any audio playing in the runoff up to the finale? Or is that also going to be Down in New Orleans after the drop?

I don’t believe this is accurate. I think DALD will replace LP and “Almost There”(with rewritten lyrics) will play during the finale.

I will admit, I don't like the idea of an uplifting/happy song playing as you go up the lift hill. The lift is meant to fill you with dread and then the drop provides the relief and the happy song comes after.Dig a little deeper on the lift hill?

The only music that I heard today was Dig a Little Deeper at the base of the lift hill. It was so faint I was questioning myself at first until I 100% heard the words "Dig a Little Deeper" and then instantly knew what I was hearing. I really wish it was possible to get a video of it to share with everyone, but because it was at the base of the lift hill, you can only hear it from in the park when the logs aren't moving and it's quiet. My last 3 trips have resulted in catching some incredible stuff to say the least.

Very interesting. I think I called it a couple years back, based upon them stating the ride would be more of an uplifting and celebratory experience. Not sure if I was the first to mention it or not, was a while ago. LOL!

The lift was meant to do that, on the previous version of this ride.
There is no rule saying that any other version of a log flume need do the same. This could instead build to happy excitement, as opposed to existential dread and doom.

The new song/songs won't be played in the actual ride, only the queue? I'd find that very surprising and strange given how heavily they're being promoted and hyped...

True but I think the ride would be better off with a change in tone at some point. It’s not just about the lack of suspense on the lift hill specifically but the fact that there is nothing to break up the romp through happy Town in general. I think this approach is better suited for rides that don’t have big thrilling moments. It’s also a bummer because this is just more of the same that Disney has been giving us. Think Frozen Ever After or BATB Tokyo. Disney is moving away from including anything dark/ scary/ macabre on its attractions so it’s upsetting to lose it somewhere else. TOT is now funny/ irreverent. They made Snow White less scary.
Also considering the pace you are going up that lift hill and the emotions riders are feeling its much easier to accomplish dread/ suspense then it is accomplish happiness/ jubilation. It's conflicting to attempt to have the rider feel happiness and joy when they are naturally feeling fear/excitement. The happiness/ joy/ sense of relief should come after the drop.

Interesting playing the song that I thought would be the finale as the drop song.
It’s a great song, not sure if I like the placement unless as Scott Gustin commented…

I get it. I just wanted to remind there are no rules.
Now if the old version of the hill works better than whatever the new version does, that can certainly be up for debate once we actually experience the story beats, and how the rides makes us feel.
The new hill could be different, joyous, and still work just as well as the old version, in its own way.

How it can work as well if the riders natural emotions are at conflict with what the music/ scene is setting out to accomplish?

This is what I imagine the lift hill will look like (minus Mama Odie, who we’ll see prior):
