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

[Professortango1]

Those seem to be static frogs. It also doesn't seem like the wall was knocked out. Just the rockwork that was stripped back.

Was that rockwork beyond the berm, wasn't it 3-D painting on a 2-D wall? And they just repainted it blue?

The “true bayou magic” is escaping the attraction!

In all seriousness though, should be a neat effect. Now your guaranteed to get wet.

The foliage looks cheaper.

That single sentence might undo your whole argument. There's no way the foliage looks cheaper than the cupcake stencil flowers

 

[Disney Glimpses]

You can say what you feel, but aside from the warmer lighting, I don't really see how it does? The foliage looks cheaper. The sky looks botched compared to the rockwork that was there. And of course, the animatronics that were there aren't anymore. The trees look fine, but they were just repainted.

Hmm, it's obviously a completely different creative direction but I don't know that I share your opinions on the aesthetics of the new approach. Will have to see in person.

To be clear whatever effect being put in at the bottom is strictly water based mist. I think it’s more for the “swamp” at the top of the first lift from load/unload.

what is with the hanging lit ice crystals overhead in the one photo? Or what am I looking at exactly, isn't that the entrance to the finale scene?

true, while I am feeling inclined to feel the same as what brer said, its too soon to tell by that one entrance into the first scene photo.

So we’ve already seen 3 overhead signs/banners on this attraction explaining where you are, and this Tiana’s Foods one is only a single lift hill away from the one before it with multiple lines of text. Really not a fan of any of them.

Hey just a friendly reminder because I know it’s easy to miss- Tiana’s Foods is EMPLOYEE OWNED and EVERYONE IS WELCOME.

Mysterious swamp angle? Is that the atmosphere they are trying to give with that effect.

This is random but kinda reminds me of…

Yes, I’m an avid Lorcana player. Note the flavor text on the bottom of the card.

It's wisteria or something similar.

The stencil flowers were a design choice and had to be crafted for the purpose of the original attraction. The new foliage looks store bought.

You're trying too hard.

 

[mickEblu]

its officially a drive (float) through; ride now, do we get buy one get one free as we float by placing our order for a beignet or maybe extra hot sauce?

The excessive signage just screams retheme. Don't get me started on how ill placed and placemaking breaking some of those banners and overhead signs are.

Thank the lord I don’t have nostalgia goggles on when viewing this attraction.

However it’s interesting that some people probably thought this attraction was gonna be completely gutted and bare.

I’m glad to see they are reusing the previous sets and giving them a fresh coat of paint.

Why??

Why is that good? To me that indicates cutting corners. Cost savings close to always hurts the final product’s quality.

While slightly lazy on Disney’s part, I’d still rather have the highly-detailed Splash sets intact rather than gutted hallways like Frozen Ever After. Had they removed the sets, it would’ve been too much of a gamble to assume they would’ve replaced them with something equal to or greater than rather then just copying Frozen

… Because trees, cavern walls, etc. are perfectly salvageable and work with the ride’s new setting, allowing funds to be diverted elsewhere? There’s cost cutting and then there’s efficient re-use.
