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

This is looking great! Can't wait for it to.open in California as it will fit the area very well

Both exist in the South. Red clay is in the south. You're making a mountain out of a salt mine. Give it a rest.

I feel like you're completely missing the point; I'm just not sure if it's intentional or not.

The juxtaposition is unnatural. It's a relatively minor issue, but the fact that both things exist in the south is a nonsensical response. It's bordering on being a complete non sequitur.

I'm happy with how it looks overall. That doesn't mean it's 100% perfect -- almost nothing ever is -- but it's not an attack on the attraction to point out some issues.

From what we've seen and heard thus far, I think this could be the best animated film dark ride they've built anywhere this century (better than Little Mermaid, FEA, Ratatouille, Tokyo Frozen, and BatB -- not sure if I'm forgetting any).

Remember this is a construction thread, please stop with the off-topic debate. thanks!

If you know of any sites with a better track record, feel free to share them. Some of us actually appreciate the fact that sensationalism and wild speculation aren’t encouraged here.

Have you READ the imagineering threads?

I’m not sure what you mean. I’m referring specifically to the news and rumours section.

Just a joke!

BOTTLE LANTERNS ARE ON!

I'm very enthusiastic about this... using the lanterns overhead as the central focal point, with Mama Odie off to the riders' left, I think will set this up nicely.

I’m so happy to see that they actually go over the flume! The view of the opening made it look like they were only on the fringes, but going all around you will be much more immersive.

Disney knows how to get me to go to Magic Kingdom...

I'll be there tomorrow! If you're around Skipper Canteen, let me know and I'll buy you a beer.

Invites for soft open riders?

Media. I still think CMs and some guests will go before media.

 

[wishesnighttimespec]

I wonder if soon we we will see the construction walls come down even before the ride is open now that the scaffolding is down and it looks like the exterior is finished

What's your take on an opening date?

IT'S DONE!

Really seems like it's harder to see the flume with everything else going on. But of course, there's no chance they are trying to minimize how thrilling it looks, right?

All credit to the king!!!

Is it as overwhelmingly purple in person as it appears in the photo?

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

The guard rail is covered so I'll give them that. But the grasses don't look organic. At night especially. Probably best not to emphasize them.

Is it as overwhelmingly purple in person as it appears in the photo?

Not at all, surprisingly. I actually think they could make it a little brighter and it would be perfect. The photo accurately represents the colors, but not the brightness of seeing it in person.

Again with the monochromatic color palette. I wish they could find a way to break up the lighting to give all the individual foliage elements greater sense of depth and dimension. I'm not really diggin the blurple wash, especially on the "mound" Can't see the forest swamp through the trees.
