More critters have been revealed, along with an attraction poster for Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

Previously, you learned about the critters who play Zydeco music – and now, let’s get ready to march with Rara! Often found at festivals and street processions, Rara is a musical tradition from Haiti that’s part of the musical history and melting pot of New Orleans. The genre includes unique instruments with beautiful, distinctive sounds.

Here are the Rara musicians you’ll discover further down the bayou!

Octavia the Bobcat – Octavia plays the vaksin, a single-note horn instrument popular in Rara music. She’s an adventurous bobcat kitten, and she loves climbing and hanging out in trees almost as much as she loves performing. This daredevil almost never gets scared.

Pawpaw the Bobcat – Not only is Pawpaw Octavia’s devoted grandfather, but he also taught her how to play the vaksin! Pawpaw lives to make Octavia smile and has the view that everything has a way of working itself out – he’s seen it all but isn’t jaded.

Claude the Louisiana Black Bear – Claude is a salt of the earth kind of bear (or, as they say in the bayou, “salt of the mound”) who plays his horn along with the other members of his family. He’s a tinkerer who loves to create with things found in the forest, and is frequently funny without intending to be, especially when it comes to his home-grown creations.

Bernadette the Louisiana Black Bear – Bernadette loves to enjoy life, from splashing in the waters of her bayou home with her cub, Sebastián, to playing the horn with her mate, Claude. She’s a clear thinker and is warm and supportive. Bernadette loves to sink into the bayou waters and munch on plants (so long as Sebastián is clearly within sight).

Sebastián the Louisiana Black Bear – Though he’s definitely a “mama’s cub,” Sebastián charted his own musical course as a drummer, despite his parents being devoted horn players. He’s happy to follow his friend Octavia’s adventurous lead as they explore and play, and is fascinated with the small details in the bayou, like the insects and mushrooms.

Phina the Gray Fox – Phina’s enthusiasm extends beyond her drumming, as she’s constantly thinking of new ideas with optimism and energy! This imaginative fox is continually starting new projects with excitement, and her friends accept and celebrate her unique thinking.

Here's the new attraction poster.

It's a Tiana poster but not an attraction poster.

It does seem to be missing the kinetics that kind of define a ride poster for me (vs. a show poster which doesn't necessarily have that). It doesn't even depict the ride vehicle, and the ride facade itself - and its signature drop - take a background role. Bit of a miss, that one. I get why they want Tiana front and centre but even her pose is kinda static. It just doesn't really tell me anything about the experience other than "it's got Tiana in it, and some animals play music".

We went for some pretty great attraction posters...to this.

Closest ones to this are the Golden Horseshoe concept art like ones of the 50s. Not sure what is going on here.

They're still in preview mode. There will probably be more defined posters later. Besides, how do you depict a "bayou adventure" on a poster? With Splash Mountain, it was obvious. It shows the characters riding down the mountain making a big splash. The promotion of Splash Mountain was all about the final drop for obvious reasons. With Tiana, the purpose of the ascent and that drop aren't being revealed yet.

This attraction is looking good. While it will never be Splash, its looking like it will be good.

Looking forward to seeing what's inside the salt mound.

18 animals + 8 Humans in the Finale scene alone

As I suspected, while those finale renders were indeed "real" (the new finale building is present in the bottom right corner of the attraction poster), they were clearly in a very incomplete state and did not yet contain all of the characters. Again, far too many obvious empty platforms that were apparent that they were supposed to be filled in.

26 is quite nice if accurate, and if they're all proper animatronics. That precisely matches how many DL's Splash Mt finale had, and is actually a substantial increase over how many WDW's finale had.

This "new" batch of critters were also seen as background silhouettes in older concept art.
