"Down in New Orleans" playing out front right now. The pool noodles are gone from around the water lilies, and more of the plants and flowers have been installed. Looks good!
Edit: The instrumental of "Down in New Orleans" is also playing coming out of the load station, the same combo I heard the other night.

Almost certainly with how much attention is being put into this. Even if they didn't plan to, they've seen the backlash for it. I feel so certain it'll be covered.Are they going to do more to disguise the fence in front of the drop? I hope so.
I see. I'm cooked.
That ugly fence goes back to what I and others were saying months ago.
The drop of splash was designed to be a trick of going into a briar patch into the lower level, and without an element to replace that, it is awkward.
That being said, there is a chance the fence is some sort of fall/safety protection and something else will come in.
I've said it before - I never got the idea that there was an illusion of the log plummeting into the briar patch.I've been kind of wondering that myself. The entire point of the way that area is designed was to give the illusion of the log plummeting "into" the briar patch and disappearing in the thorns. Are we just falling into a patch of swamp grass now? The model would suggest so, and I don't necessarily feel like that was a great replacement for the effect. It was always one of my favorite little things about the design of Splash, so I'm definitely sad to see it replaced by whatever this is going to be. It was such a clever old-school Imagineering trick.

I'm willing to bet a large portion of park goers didn't either.
In any event it's a log flume splashing down.
It works that way.

Looks like they still need to detail the frogs on the log, as well…
