I mean there is currently a 50 minute wait for Buzz Lightyear.
Why even bother making good rides if the average fan will wait for anything.
Right ?

It’s not a “catastrophic failure”
There will be no fixing
Online fans are an extreme…but that’s not the measuring stick…
Here’s what matters:
1. Any casual fan gonna be more than passively interested in this?
No
2. Anyone gonna latch memories onto this and become more dedicating/repeat fans because of this?
No
3. Are those they crave - the one week big Spenders - gonna look at this and find more value/be compelled to book in part because of this?…tell their friends?…buy dvc?
Again…no
Not a good scenario
I think it will fall from a must do ride to the thing you do if your waiting for your next return time, and don’t have to walk far.

I like Princess and the Frog movie and very much like its music.
This story on the ride was HORRIBLE. Looking for animal musicians…really??
Where’s the antagonist, the thrill, the excitement for the drop??! This has a 50ft drop and there was no suspense for it.
What a let down. And the dialogue by Tiana was so basic. Yikes.

This isn’t my “bright idea for a fix” by any means. I’m simply joking at the type of “fix”. Took no effort on my part, just took the Journey Into Your Imagination to Journey Into Imagination With Figment playbook, scene by scene, I’d imagine WDI to try to pull off judging off past, similar poorly executed ride redos of the past.
In truth, if I had any say. I’d say do a new Br’er Rabbit traditionally animated series that leans more into Splash Mountain than anything from Song of the South, including brand new storylines that feature his escapades with Br’er Fox & Br’er Bear.. but maybe go further into featuring the other animals seen in the ride too or getting into their unique stories. Series could be called something like “Critter Country” or something like that…then bring back the original ride with enhancements and new spfx & tech to improve the show scenes, but yeah, just a pipe dream that sadly under current management hasn’t got a chance. lol

. . . Then why did you quote me, and phrase your comment like an assessment of my post
I wonder if the timing is right.
Tempted to try riding this while watching a Splash POV through some VR glasses and listening to the soundtrack through some headphones.
If the ride speed and timing is relatively unchanged. It might work.

You know they won't let you bring VR glasses on the ride.

Remember that runDisney is giving us Tiana as a theme in early Nov for their WineDine 10K. The synergy is so forced and feels worse after this fail.

I can't agree with you there.
It's still one of the biggest - quite literally rides in the park.
It's shiny and new, features new tech and songs, plus it's a water ride in a hot environment.
All my criticisms aside, I don't think there will be a dent in its popularity when the dust settles.
Not in terms of ridership.
Now, in terms of critical, analytical, and its place in the discussion of classic attractions... Well, that's a different story.

“”what idiot named it Tiana's Bayou Adventure instead of The Princess and the Log””
Oh it’s a log alright, one brown log!!!

After watching more POVs I think the ride is good, but could use some minor improvements like some dialogue changes. There’s really one area of “dead space” and it could be fixed with some static figures of other critters. I do think Blue Skies and Sunshine should always play when you make it to the top of the drop. I personally like it a little more than Splash, but may be because I had no strong connection to Splash Mountain.
I'll bring a Dr's note.

There was a time when even “badly themed” rides…like rockinrollercoaster…were still pretty ingenious
This is what happens when you can’t laugh at your self and create funny moments because you started the creative process out with moral you want to sell instead of a story you want to tell.
That’s why it’s devoid of charm and warmth.
That plus… making voodoo guy a scary and compelling part of the ride is too offensive.

There will be massive crowds for a few years, and then we enter the long term.

It was a deliberate choice.

Disney has had plenty of catastrophic failures that have been left unaddressed for years (*cough* Imagination Pavilion *cough*). Nobody looks the other way and says, "It's good enough," like Disney managment post-Frank Wells.
