Did anyone ever find that supposed source from Alicia Stella where she backtracked on her prior claim about there being a shrinking plot?

It's either a tiny snippet buried in one of her universal podcasts or she deleted it. But then again did she ever make the initial claim? I think it was the guest on her show who said that.

To the extent that anything in this attraction "makes sense," it seems like something like this SHOULD happen. I mean, otherwise, what's the point of going to Mama Odie's house and having steam blown in our faces?

Wanted to address this without further derailing the thread.... I think it's a little bit of both. The steam has returned, less prominent than it once was. However, it was never as prominent as it is in our memories. The Mandela effect. I think the steam was always (and videos from the time support this) coming from the caboose, but I too remember it to be a lot more grand, having steam the length of the station. Today it's still in the caboose, just a bit more understated.

I remember it sweeping over everyone, and thought it way being released from the wheels as well to emulate braking. Perhaps, in the end, it's merely a matter of weather patterns? If I'd seen the effect on a windy day, then the mist out the back could fill everything and even be blown forward with the train and there you go.

Actual dialogue from the attraction: "Thanks, Mama O--oh dear, [cough, cough]"

Now that you mention it, this will be to the left of the log on the final lift hill:

Storylines of rides should never too complicated. That's why Frozen Journey in Tokyo Disney doesn't work super well as a standalone ride without the context of the film it was based on.

Well that’s fair. Maybe it‘ll work better than I imagine. Excited to see it, regardless. They don’t give us AA tour-de-forces any more.

Would you explain what “substance triumphs when invited to mimic the success” means, and how you know TBA doesn’t have it?

There are about 500 of the 615 pages here that do a pretty good job of it.

Or the quote directly above my post if you want a quick summary.

I’ve read all the pages in this thread (and in the other 2 TBA threads). Your post didn’t make sense to me, which is why I asked.

What I’m especially curious about, though, is your statement that TBA does not include conflict or “substance triumphs when invited to mimic the success.” You posted it as a statement of fact, but I suspect it’s more of an assumption.

I’m eager to learn what WDI has put together for the storyline of TBA. Despite all the teasers and snippets they’ve shared, there still seems to be a lot that’s unknown (case in point, the speculation about the fog effect at the top of the drop).

.
It has been the trend with many attractions recently, either new or what they were replaced by.
The attraction's throughline does not mimic the events of the movie. This is different than directly recreating like a retelling. In many a theme park design, this is mimic through putting guests in similar conflicts that will evoke or put them feeling like the protagonist shoes of those stories.

So often the guests will have a call to celebrate or emotional triumph moment. A key in emotional storytelling for the medium. Nothing that has been shared publicly have given this about the attraction (and nothing I and some others have seen have done this either) and it is par for the course as the post I quoted in my original post you are asking about mentions. It has a property with a nice invitation to have all of these things that made the film a good story and translate well, and not many of them were utilized.

Surely it can’t be that far from opening up?

If one of the motivations for getting this project underway so quickly was so that it could be open by summer and give some reason to boost attendance when there is nothing else opening up…their refusal to commit to a date as the summer travel season is almost upon us is really mystifying. At some point plane ticket prices start to ramp up making travel prohibitively expensive.
