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

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:

Some of us are hoping for a plot complexity that simply will not be there. The plot was designed to be simple and easily understood by 5-year olds.

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.

People like conflict or substance triumphs when invited to mimic the success, even if it is melodramatic or expected.

And this does not have that.

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

This is what I’m hoping most for TBA so as long as it delivers strong on this front, I will be far more forgiving towards a weak storyline

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.

Hey everyone we went to the park yesterday and got this new video

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

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.

 

[rtmachine]

Probably don't want to announce opening till last minute so people don't cancel trips and reschedule for when it opens.

 

[Mikomike12]

I mean we're less than a month away from media being able to ride it and be out there for the public to see (online atleast). I would be surprised if it's not announced this coming week.

 

[nestface84]

I’m coming from the UK first 2 weeks of July. Really hope it’s open for them

It would not surprise me if they are waiting until they finish the media preview cycle for Fantasy Springs in Tokyo and this is next up on the schedule. They don’t like to have multiple messages like that flowing at the same time.

“They” have nothing to do with Tokyo Disney on matters like this. The two companies and their respective resorts operate completely independent from each other.

New version of the "fifty foot plunge" sign?

 

[Vclguy90]

I'm going June 26 - July 1 and think I'm most likely going to miss it.

Would it behoove (such a goofy word) TDO to have this and the new CBmJ show open and operating at the same time?
