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

No way that’s part of the ride right?

Maybe this lends credence to the rumor that all the music is for speaker tests?

Yeah I’m pretty confused! I was going to say that maybe they’re making efforts to blend it with Frontierland, but to do that, they’d need music that is on the borderline between jazz and bluegrass to act as a transitional piece, and Davy Crockett is about as far from that as you can get

Thrilled to see pool noodles arrived at Dollar Tree as promised. Y’all thought I was joking.

Photos from this afternoon — lots of little changes today.

Scaffolding is up for the marquee, there's flowers around the tree where the birdhouses were, plants in the queue, scaffolding up above the stairs next to the barn, and most importantly... Rufus and Apollo.

EDIT: I listened to it again and heard the vocals indeed singing the Ballad of Davy Crockett. Very Odd!

And it's the original recording from the 50s

Probably just sample audio to test speakers and not spoil anything for the ride.

To anyone listening, Davy Crockett's theme song would just be regular Frontierland music.

Perhaps Davy Crockett inspired young Tiana to go off on an adventure and now she plays the song on repeat when she is out on the co-op owned farm!

No, Mama Odie actually sent Tiana back in time to try to convince Davy Crockett not to fight in the Mexican-American War to avoid colonialism. That's the plot of Princess and the Frog 2: Tiana's Change Agency.

Or maybe the critters in the bayou are working on a new song that they premiere in the final scene which turns out to be the Ballad of Davy Crockett? They can then tie that in with the new Country Bears Jamboree, who also play the latest hit from their cousins down in Louisiana!

The extreme dissonance created by the ride ending with guests sailing into that final scene with all the PatF characters waving while the critters sing the Ballad of Davy Crockett would really rise to a level of surrealism that could elevate this attraction to a true work of art.

Wait…. The country bears singing Davy Crockett is the new finale of splash and Dr. Facillier has taken over the Grizzly Hall with his Parlor Tricks!!!!

Wow!!! This whole time they got us!!!

What fence? There's no fence here.

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

What are the pool noodles for? I assume they're temporary, to keep the lilies from falling while there's no water in the flume or something?

 

[splah]

i would guess a visual cue not to run into them because they're so thin.

my question is why are some sticks and some look like vases under water?

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

I assume the ones with the extra hardware at the base are going to have some sort of extra lighting effects, spinning function or maybe even fountain. Not sure about the latter two, just spitballing here. I'm not sure why they'd need that chunky looking hardware underneath if it was just lighting though.

This time around, they are choosing to be prepared for the inevitable weekly log sinking or crazy guest going for a swim by providing floatation devices along the way. At least the PotC noodles will be black to blend in.

They just started installing these other plants and flowers with the square bases, so they're protecting the water lilies while the other ones are being installed. I will say, I'm glad they're adding more to this area because it still felt empty with only the lilies. It looked a lot better today already between these and the fence finally being covered.

But it seems incredible to me that there is still no opening date. I'm losing hope of finding it open by the end of July. Mah.

I’m losing hope for my august trip too

 

[Castle Cake Apologist]

wow, yall are mad the flowers are gonna stay on the ride all year round now....yall must have not much to complain about in real life haha, must be nice.

Pretty sure they were making a joke, friend.

If they can’t get it open for August, it’s genuinely over for them (and they know that). It’ll be open by the end of June at the latest.

You guys have nothing to worry about, it will be open for both of your trips.
