No wonder you aren't as big a Splash fan! You were only 6 when you rode it! Then it makes sense you wouldn't remember the exit shop.

Exactly. Just curious where it is. Most things I can figure out the layout of the park from photos but this is too far zoomed in to tell which yellow building this is, I thought the only yellow building was the barn, but that's the queue, no?

I’m old enough to remember when they actually had splash merch in the splash shop lol. They really missed out on some real profit by refusing to sell anything during the last year
I thought I was walking into the Whole Foods produce section. Glad that eliminated any confusion.

I got a very nice Mickey Mouse hat there during the last year of operation!
You don't know what we got: One on each coast. So, it'll be a little deuce coupe.

That’s actually better than the actual official ride poster imo.

Re: Fonting and Art Direction discrepencies
The fonting and art style on the truck, water tower, and entrance signs are decidedly Art Nouveau, which is incredibly appropriate for late-20's New Orleans. While it appears they erred towards text legibility perhaps a bit too far and away from Nouveau's more fluidic, organic shapes, it isn't out of character.
If you find some free time, the competing movements of Art Nouveau, Streamline Moderne, and traditional Art Deco throughout New Orleans architecture in the 1920s and 1930s makes for a fascinating study. Incredibly, there are still a great number of examples of each in the city.

The problem is that there are more readily apparent issues with the consistency of the art nouveau elements. Yes, the lily illustration is sort of fine, and the core font is decent; however, the scroll the company name rests on does not look right for the period, and even the organic art nouveau shapes of the illustration don't have the delicate outlining I would expect. Also, the brush script text on the back of the truck and the water tower are the worst offenders to me. They evoke nothing of any style from the era, in my opinion.

So the critter co-op sells all the animal plushies and her general store will sell all the Tiana Foods branded kitchenware? Smart move. I think the critter co-op will make a ton of money. Love that they are giving names and characters to the critters and really leaning into that. It was everything I had hoped for- less salt mine and more critters.
Although, it is confusing because in the in-world movie animals acted like animals and only acted more human when Tiana was in frog form. So, I guess animals can play instruments and everyone is cool with it? Honestly, I don't care. It's adorable and I think this is exactly the direction this ride/shopping should lean into.
Getting more excited by the day!

100% agree here, and hopefully this is a detail that can be cleaned up fairly easily (they stick out now, and will stick out worse as things around them open up).
Digital-era script fonts are the hardest to blend and should have been avoided here altogether. With this small amount of text, a weighted hand effort would have sold the whole thing.

Yeah the color on the word “critter” seems very inspired by the old splash signage. Looks really well done
"Critter Coop, dad?"
"Yeah, that's where they keep the critters locked up"
Co-op, community, employee-owned... they're hitting all the cool, hip, and trendy words of the early2010's 1930's!

It's where Tiana's Foods sells the stuffed corpses of their critter friends!
